(which was about what I was paying the cox cable when I dropped to the most basic level). Adding in a Roku stick I am in 7th Heaven being able to stream Netflix and Acorn TV. I was excited to be able to pick up Sky News for free. I have been cutting out more and more US TV shows in favor of British and Canadian TV. For the time that I watch Sky News and Acorn TV I can pretend that I don't live in the US.
