    Take a hike DirecTV.. hulu and BOXEE???

    I am looking into switching over to some sort of interweb biased TV. I am getting off pretty cheep but I am still paying round $100/month for TV.. I need feedback from people who are using a internetz based TV solution


    ETA, does rule 34 apply?

    I bailed last month off DTV. Atdhe and MyP2P for sports and some shows, no blackouts and any game you want plus sports from around the globe if you like soccer or other sports. I get the local channels for local news off an outside antenna. NatGEO is the only one I can't get that I want.

    Hulu sucks, most of the shows they have a teaser and then want you to pay. AMW and Cops are two shows they allow the entire show for free.

    CoCo is free the next day after the show on www.TeamCoco.com

    I shoulda made this jump 2 years ago.

      I have never been asked to pay for watching videos on Hulu... Been watching full seasons and episodes of quite a few new shows...

        If you have an Xbox or a Wii, Netflix will stream directly to them. Only 8 bucks a month, quality is alright, and enough movies and TV series to keep me entertained.

            Last one I tried to view was America's Funniest Videos. Can you watch that show with no request to buy their premium deal after a minute or two? Law and Order was another one they wanted pay to play.

                  I had a Insignia Bluray player for about a month and it also worked great for Netflix, I actually never opened the disc tray. What I like about Boxee is it says it can play all sorts of other internet media,, my PS3 sometimes has issues with video playback from websites. Every Wi-Fi Bluray player has different features, the one I had only did Netflix and Pandora radio.

                    Roku + Netflix + HuluPlus = win.

                            Roku player.
                            Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from.

                              Costco has a Sony unit also, and if you don't like it you know costco's return policy.
