Kevin Rose is an influential guy in Silicon Valley, the kind other young gearheads follow. And that includes on micro-blogging service Twitter, which is where Rose announced to the world that he had canceled his Comcast cable and TiVo subscriptions. "From this point forward I'm going all internet / netflix," he wrote. A few dozen FriendFeed users posted comments about his decision, with many saying that they had done the same or were thinking about it. Rose, the 31-year-old who helped start such sites as Digg, Revision3 and Pownce, says he realized he was only watching a handful of...
Somehow I think they'll muddle through the loss of Kevin Rose. We are not the lemmings they believe we are. - Brian roy

I just happen to live line-of-sight to HD brodcast towers... I get full 1080p over the air... you should check to see if you can too. - Brian roy

I'd do the same if I could figure out how to get The Mountain off the 'Net - there's no good live sports solution right now. - Jesse Stay
@Occasional Headbanger NBC streams the late sunday game online for free. If you're not in the US you can pick up NFL fieldpass for $175/season and get every game live. - Cains
Cains, but what do I do for college football? - Jesse Stay
Sorry, I'm in the UK and football isn't really my thing, but...you can either try yahoo or CBS, both stream live games (and I believe subscription packages are available). Google usually returns a feed from somewhere, though occasionally these aren't legal. - Cains
