No, it came about because I use Apple TV or Netflix over my regular cable TV service about 90% of the time. If I find something I like on TV, the first thing I do is look to see if it is available on AppleTV, netflix, or DVD. If it isn't available anywhere else, I'll DVR it on cable as a last resort. Other than things like the Oscars or the Superbowl, regular CABLE TV is passe.
