I had to kinda give up on the cord cutting idea for the time being.  Where my house is presently situated, I get really no good reception of local channels.  So without those, it's hard to build the basis of a good replacement.  
I'm changing up my infrastructure though.  With the new TiVos, you can share one box amongst several TVs without incurring more than 1 monthly payment.  So I'm just trimming my cable access to the basics, and getting rid of my excess TiVos.  So only have one modern box, cablecard/tuning adapter and share 6 tuners with all the TVs in my house.
I had to do something anyhow because Cox just went all-digital so that my older non-cablecard TiVo no longer works.  Sad day - that was my lifetime subscription box.
I've actually been thinking about Dish TV as well.  The cost of cable has just been going up at lightning speed, so I really want to wave goodbye to Cox and there constant need to fill their vat of cash directly from my bank account.
