Wow... I wish they would get U-Verse in Baton Rouge soon because we plan on switching to this when it's available. Would be awesome to not have a STB.

Sounds like a good excuse to get a 360 for every TV in the house.

My roommate already hates the fact that I didn't need a disc to use Netflix on my 360 lol

putting a disc in can require getting up.

That's lose/lose, but I would choose cable over any of the Bells for residential service.

So you'd rather put a disc in each time you wanted to watch Netflix versus not having to?

I mean, I don't exactly power up my 360 or PS3 by walking up to it and pressing the power button. Who does that nowadays lol

I agree it's not a big deal but if you have both systems, may as well go with the one that takes less effort
