A recent study shows that 9% of U.S. cable subscribers dropped their cable TV subscription in 2011. Why? Perhaps some of them did so because of the economy, but more did so because they're able to get their favorite TV shows through the Internet - on their schedule.
Monday on Up to Date the Techsperts, Dustin Jacobsen and Justin Parlette, discuss cutting cable TV from diet and replacing it with an Internet TV box like Roku or Apple TV. They'll also examine rumors of the rumored-to-be-announced iPad 3, and highlight some of the top gadgets from this year's Consumer Electronics Show.
