I have..it's called pay for cable. All that shite, just to bypass paying for cable tv. I'm sorry but I'd rather just pay.

I do pay for cable, but cable providers don't deliver netflix, amazon instant video, hulu, crackle, etc. over cable TV. I also can't mirror my phone or computer to my tv through the cable box, can't play video games through my cable box, can't stream my music or paid for movies and TV shows through my cable box, can't give my cable box voice commands, can't configure the guide to show only the channels I want to see on my cable box, can't play blu rays on my cable box, and I can't download a plethora of apps to my cable box.

All of the above is for using cable tv. It is to bypass paying for DVR service and being limited to the amount of storage the DVR has available. It's also to allow me/anyone to watch what's on the DVR in another room without being physically in front of the TV.
