Uh.....? My gf has the preferred internet package(25Mbps) at like $45/mo. Free OTA, she's on my Netflix acct, and doesn't pay for huluplus
Before she dropped cable, her bill was ~$135/mo. That's a little more than $1000/yr savings, and on a student's budget, that is pretty significant
Eta: If I lived there, she could ditch the internet all together because I can tether my phone as a hotspot and get 50Mbps

I have 7, so AppleTVs and Rokus all over the place don't make sense.
Sure it does. They aren't that expensive and the one-time cost will be a wash within a year.

we since I already have the fast web speeds and Netflix and whatnot, pretty sure it will save me $140/month

Does anyone know if by using XBMC on Apple TV you can get all the regular channels + most sporting channels?
My main ones are:
Science channel
Discovery
CBS/ABC/NBC local news channels
ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU
NFL Network

We already had fast enough internet speeds from Eatel. Had Directv for cable because I got things on there I didn't get from Eatel's cable packages.
We went from paying almost $100 extra a month for DirecTV to having a subscription to Netflix and Hulu Plus, each costing about 8 bucks.

What's the benefit of jailbreaking the Apple TV 2?

You must jailbreak the Apple TV to be able to install XBMC on it which IMO makes the Apple TV worth while
doesnt work with current appletv and only supports 720p.
not exactly a category killer yet on apple

Do you install plugins on XMBC on the apple tv as well?
I am seriously considering going the jailbreaking route. I am not uber savvy on that stuff...

make sure you have the right appletv (v2 i think..the black one) or else you cant put xbmc on it even if jailbroken.

Location is key. The farther you are from a tower the bigger/better antenna you need. If you don't already know where the towers are you should check here before you buy.

Yeah you get all the plugins. Just know the jailbroken capable ones(2nd gen) cost about 3-4x as much as the latest ones that can't get jailbroken.

Correct and if you don't already have that version it costs a lot more to buy one on ebay or amazon than it does to buy a new one in the store. Most people selling them are aware that those are the only ones that can be jailbroken. Unless you get lucky and find somebody selling one that doesn't have a clue.

instead of xbmc on appletv. I dont need torrents or newsgroups anymore with this thing
I saw that before and was wondering if anybody had one.
I assume you like it? Easy to setup and use? What all do you get?
