I've been without "TV" for almost 4 years now. Any shows that my fiancee and I want to watch we stream online (there are sources out there) same-day. There's also Netflix, but that is subscription service and we mostly watch movies and older series.

It's quite nice, hearing what some people pay for an all-inclusive "bundled" service for TV, internet, phone, etc. We pay one low rate of $39.99 per month for 15mbps cable with no cap, and it's awesome.

I have noticed that there are others who are tired of paying $X^3 for satellite TV with premo packages or cable with the streaming access. Services like Roku and Boxee are becoming more and more popular. Especially TVs that are "Smart TV", able to play most encoded mediums (DIVX, XVID, H.264, MPEG, streaming through Flash, etc.) A one-time price of $100 and you just have to hook it up to your network and you've got access to thousands of online streaming "channels".
