Mostly young children's shows.  (Barney, Seseme street and a show called Callaiou.)  We have some DVDs, and a fair amount of "backlog" on Tivo along with Netflix.  She probably won't go w/o much.  If anything, getting rid of traditional TV will probably affect my 9 yo son more.

Ended up switching to Verizon Fios.  Bill will be $108 after taxes.  I think it's a slight downgrade in service (premium  channels), but easy pill to swallow.

Comcast wanted to do very little to save me.  Reduced  my bill from $215 (before taxes) to $185 or so.  Or a drastic reduction in services for $160 (before taxes).  I told them I wasn't willing to gut my services AND pay more (even if it was marginal).

Ugh, I pay $100 a month for 10 up and 1 down. That is the fastest available.

Wow.  Comcast says I currently have 125 (I assume up) and I was nervous reducing to what Fios is offering.
