I'm in the same boat, Vicki; my husband used to buy lots of DVD's that nobody watches anymore. In fact, just last night, I was staring at a stack and thinking it might be time for a yard sale. ;) Either that, or used stores usually buy DVD's- they might give you more since they're sealed. Barring all of that, you could always donate them- I remember giving literally bagfuls of VHS tapes to the preschool after my son outgrew them.

I'd be waiting close to forever (if even then) for most things to come on regular broadcast TV- I refuse to pay for cable. Plus, the beauty of streaming is that I get to watch what I want when I want to watch it. :-)

Other than that, I streamline most of my television and movies through Netflix or some other program. I do not have cable television. I can't see the reasoning behind paying anywhere from $60-$100+ a month for all of these channels I will never watch when I can pay $8 a month for Netflix.

I agree totally- I don't watch much regular TV anymore either. Between Netflix and the occasional rental from Amazon, I have more than enough to watch.
