Lots of people I know just feel like paying for cable or dish is nuts as the rates just keep going up and there is so little worth watching. I know that you can stream shows and watch them on your TV with roku once you subscribe to Hulu or Playon. Right now just trying to get information from people using that system to see how it works for them, are there any glitches etc. You still need a good digital antenna to get local channels for local news etc. Seems like right now this is an economical way to go but then who knows how long until the fees for that go up and up like everything else. My daughter who is fed up with Comcast, which is the only thing she can get is going to purchase a roku and then go with Hulu. For sports in HD they will download an ap on Ipad that allows them to buy a sports package and then hopefully interface with the TV.
