I was thinking about switching to completely watching television via the internet and not getting cable. I figured there is a flood of stuff on Hulu + projectfreetv + surfthechannel, that the only reason why I would want to keep cable is to watch live sports which I think I could go to a friends house to see since I don't watch them that regularly.
Just wondering if anyone's "made the switch" or done something similar and had any thoughts about it.... --------------------  |

You guys who watch streams over the internet, what kind of display are you watching it on? Coomputer monitor? Laptop? TV via computer? Or Xbox or some other console on a TV?

Or Xbox or some other console on a TV? TV via computer. My laptop has DVI out, TV has DVI in. Easy peasy. Our TV doesn't use the full screen for PC in, but it's a huge TV so it hardly matters. A newer TV would probably support higher resolution and use the full screen. Streaming vid is pretty standard quality, but I can find HD torrents for some shows.
