I have mine on my Sharp LCD/ Monitor. Regular TV just got a 1000X worse. TV would come back if to a degree if Natgeo, Discovery, Animal Planet and so on would broadcast a watered down version on broadcast television. Anything would be better than what’s on now.

I have a Mac hooked up to my 27” TV monitor. By going to www.blinko.com I can (when it works) get Fox, Fox Business, CNN, Discovery Channel and a really cool pan sequence of the Marathon Key City Marina. The only annoying part is that I have to use a wireless mouse as a remote which, being Blue Tooth, has to be within 10 feet of the Mac to be reliable.

Fox and Discovery are enough for me but I too would like The History Channel, Animal Planet and NatGeo. Internet TV is now about where broadcast TV was in the early sixties. Given time, competition and improved bandwidth it will get better but until then we’re stuck with either broadcast, which just got worse, or paying for the cable provider’s obscene business model.
