What nonsense. If someone wants to squint at a small low definition streaming video on a computer screen, more power to them. Or if someone is in such financial straits that getting rid of satellite or cable makes sense, then good for them. But speaking for myself I prefer to watch on a large screen in high definition with decent audio.

Times are tough. We’re all looking for ways to cut spending. After looking at my cable bill, I decided (with zero research and zero preparation) to see if my wife and I could live without television for 52 weeks, relying solely on the internet.
Two TV Junkies under one roof can consume a remarkable amount of programming content. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that there is no silver bullet one-size-fits-all solution to replacing television with the internet. We watch a mixture of streamed shows and downloads.
After a bit of a learning curve we’re up to speed and have not missed a single show. Election night was a bit tense, but I didn’t miss a beat. Plus, we’ve saved $250 in five months. Best of all, my setup has passed The Wife Test (your milage may vary).
I just published the first half of my write-up @ http://replacetelevision.wordpress.com/2008/12/24/how-to-drop-cable-and-satellite-and-still-watch-everything-part-1-streaming/

I've decided to ditch my cable and have only broadband, after realizing I was paying top dollar to click onto channel after channel of crappy reruns and one reality show and infomercial after another. Remember that networks also have their own websites where they run full-length episodes. And the library is a good place to check out dvds for free; you can also pick them up cheap at used bookstores and thrift stores (the thrift dvds are so cheap they're worth the small chance that one won't play properly).

this is all great, but like 10% of the population, I have a hearing loss and depend on closed captions for viewing. Do any of these site have captions? I have tried the network site and they don't. So internet viewing is useless to me. It is blatant discrimination, but the industry really doesn't care. it is also stupidly unnecessary as they pay to have them captioned for TV. The same coding can be used on internet. But the don't. FCC is trying to force it, but the industry keeps resisting. So I am out of luck.
