We ditched and went streaming only with an old desktop I built upgraded with an hdmi graphics card. It works amazingly for most things, movies, tv shows, and the like, but the one thing that we're totally lacking right now is sports, and that's kind of a downer seeing as we're college students and can't usually find places to stream our schools games. On the upside though, if sports aren't your thing, the combo of netflix and other network streaming sites can really do the trick. We just pay now for business class internet, which is costly, but the less of it that goes to an idiotically planned cable tv subscription, the happier I am.
