We were spending $120 on Foxtel to pretty much watch reruns of M*A*S*H and Charmed and decided that it just wasn't worth it any more. I went out and bought a decent PVR and now we just record free to air TV and if there is anything we really want desperately we use AppleTV (which has shows like Game of Thrones) for TV shows and movies and you can rent or buy from the iTunes system.
Saves us all that cash which I'm hoping to use for better (read eyepieces hehe) uses
I'm certainly over the reality tv program genre, I have enough drama in my own life without having to be forced to watch other peoples drama in my free time.
