I'm glad to hear this.
What's the approximate cost and equipment required?
Have you ever used cable?

I have cable now  (computer only) and have no complaints other than the 
outrageous price.  I'd rather not enrich Comcast anymore (they just bought 
AT&T's cable system, making them the largest in the 
country).  Unfortunately I've had dropouts with DirecTV's tv service, 
mostly during storms, which doesn't inspire confidence.

How so, other than port blocking?



Thanks!
