I have a Netflix streaming account, and still find myself buying media on iTunes, Amazon, and (very rarely) whatever independent setup a show will be running.

It's trivially easy to get ahold of pretty much any TV shows/movies I want to see, and compared to $100+/month on cable it still comes out cheaper.

I've heard the only thing you miss out on is the news. I'm tempted to go fully off cable now that I'm in a good groove with netflix/online choices.

A few dollars is always cheaper than my time. It's also far more convenient than tv, or having to go through the pain of finding and downloading, and waiting, and hoping it's of good quality. I'm willing to pay to avoid that headache.
