How much do you guys pay for TV? What's the NPV of the purchase price plus all the monthly costs ad infinitum? HD service from the cable company is very costly. I just get TV over the air. I have a 37" lcd and it's just fine by me. I can't foresee buying another TV for a long, long time.

$13 for basic cable.  We can't justify spending more because we rarely watch tv. And we only use it because most of our tv's are still analog. We have a 42" plasma for which I use the OTA HD signals for all the local channels (and pbs). It might just be me, but I think the OTA hd signals are better than the HD local signals from Time Warner.
