Anyone streaming TV from their PC?

Thinking about cutting the cord to high cabel bills and researching this topic and would like any input anyone has about using a roku and Hulu or Play on. Do you like it? any downsides?

I am watching this thread with you...I am so sick of AT&T Uverse and their ever-changing monthly bills I could scream! Seriously considering a set of rabbit ears again!

I believe that no matter what media u use, cable, dish etc, they overcharge and under-deliver.

So agree! Considering how much we pay monthly we get less selection than when TV was free, unless you into kinky stuff... how sad is that?!

I watch TV on my computer, but don't pay for it. I just find programs I like that are streaming for free. Usually from the free version of HULU, Xfinity (Comcast), Project Free TV, or the Iwatch network. The primary downside for me is I am not alerted to new programs nor do I have a consistent current news source as the programming is usually delayed. But other than that, this method works well for me.
