Now, there's so ways to watch TV without actually watching TV. You got Netflix, which you can order physical copies of DVDs. There's Hulu, who I've always known as a website provider of TV shows and movies. Then you have the major league sports which have their own live video broadcast, like nhl.tv or mlb.tv, for a price of course. You can even find streams to your favorite shows on places like Justin.tv!
So that being said, is there really any point of having a cable or satellite TV subscription anymore? I imagine it probably is cheaper buying Netflix or Hulu along with whatever sports you watch. And I would probably hop on the bandwagon too but my internet gets so slow at night I can't stream anything :(
What are you guys' thoughts? Do you have a TV subscription AND internet? Or internet and some kind of stream provider?

I'ma pc gamer who watches tv via the net on my computer so I'm happily oblivious to all this :D
im all internet. i have cable but i honestly dont even use it. the only useful times are for those big big events, superbowl, etc.
same as ryan lyles. exept for the news
I more thing to learn.
yeah i use cable essentially for the convenience and the fact that you cant get everything as HD content online live. I suppose if you're satisfied with crap quality then
doesn't really affect me but good news none the less for 360 users
i hope PSN gets something like this when it comes back up
@baka I believe PS3 has Hulu, but unfortunately its not working because of the PSN problems :/
If only PSN would get back up I could do this on my PS3!
I remember hulu not letting us UKers watch videos.
I dropped my cable subscription more than a year ago. I use Boxee on pc and download most of the tv shows I want to watch.
@zach well.. i would've checked... BUUUUTT...
I still like to watch, the few programs I do watch, on normal tv. I don't know why though.
HULU is a U.S. only thing though :(
How much does Hulu cost?
Is there a free trial?
@Cody its free for a week, no credit card required. I believe its $8/month for Plus though.
pitty it's US only :(
if it wasn't for my wife i'd have no cable. netflix and hulu and xbox live are enough for me.
