"Drop the cable, hook the TV up to the internet and watch what you want."

How do you do this? Not technically informed here, but sounds good to be able to do what you posted.

TIA!

A. You need a flat screen with the ability to be hooked to your computer.
B. You can hook it to your computer or if you have wireless in the house get a streaming player. Sony has one, there are a couple of other brands, namely Roku. These will run you 50-75 dollars on sale. You won’t get everything cable offers or straight internet. I have a couple of pay stations and have considered getting the MLB channel. The only problem is that I can’t get games played in my TV market. Because of my viewing habits, this has been a great choice and runs me less than $20 a month.

I don't know, that's why I have kids. I don't watch much TV so I don't get involved to much. I do know that our TV is hooked up to a box called an Apple TV. I t is hooked up to the TV with an HDMI cable and the kids can play stuff on their laptop and feed it to the TV. They watch You Tube stuff and other programs that they can get on their laptops. I think they can down load it through Netflix as well.

Sorry, I'm just an observer, and know that the amount of stuff they watch over cable is not much any longer.
