I have been disgusted with my Television bills and what I'm paying for lately.
I have been thinking lately to switching over to internet for television.
There are some relatively cheap products out there such as Roku and others. I Was looking for any reviews of this product as well as any other similar products.
We rarely get into any TV show series except for a few like walking Dead & and my wife has a few shows. The only thing I watch anymore is baseball and football.
All news comes from internet(mainly FR-always ahead of everybody else) and anything really important is usually streamed by any news site..
MLBTV is cheap compared to a satellite package, which leaves me wanting to find a way to watch NFL via the internet.
Questions:
What are the best products (hardware)?
Does anybody else have just internet TV? Disadvantages? Advantages?
Do you generally find everything you want to watch?
Netflix has streaming programs, what other company's offer similar products?
The FReeper expertise is greatly appreciated.
firstrowsports.eu is pretty good.

Well, if you’re not in a big hurry to watch non-live (sports, etc.) programs - most of which can still be seen free on local tv, subscribe to Netflix and watch them as they come out.
Not only do they stream (about $8 a month) they have a large library of episodic shows. You just might have to wait 6-12 months after the season is over. Depends on the show.
If you really want to watch a sporting event on say, NFL network, then go to a sports bar or friends house.
I don’t know if you’re still looking, but I followed davandbar’s advice and went to playon.tv. The lifetime channel purchase is on sale @ $45. I am trying to figure all this out, to avoid cable expense but to have some decent selection.
