I connected to Netflix streaming video 2 month ago, did the needed upgraded to 6 Mps internet speed for this.
Works good on a 52” LCD panel, 10 $ per month.
Now I have only Radio, Netflix TV, Internet, nothing else.

I am researching the little boxes you can buy to hook to your television to get video content over the internet. My main concern is that picture and sound quality must be compromised because of bandwidth restraints, but maybe I’m wrong.

I purchased a console and subscribe to a service that allows my Ukrainian wife to watch 100+ Russian and Ukrainian TV channels streamed to our TV via my WiFi router. While not HD (yet) the picture and sound is as good as cable.

I recently bought two Sony PS3s specifically to watch Blu-Ray and stream Netflix to each of my HDTVs. The picture quality is perfect.

I'll be bidding adieu to my cable service very soon.
