- Netflix: I currently have this service. I get movies and old TV shows. Some of these I can get streamed directly to my TV. It costs about $10 a month.
- Watching shows the next day on the Internet: This is free. This includes services such as Hulu. I can either watch these on my laptop or connect the laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable, which tends to be low quality. This option does not include a lot of cable shows as well as a lot of live sporting events.
- Hulu Plus: This is a new service from Hulu. For about $10 a month, I would be able to get TV shows streamed to my TV in high definition. This includes current seasons of many popular TV shows.
- Apple TV: With this device (which is about $100), one can rent TV shows for about $1 per episode as well as movies. This is actually not a serious option because I would rather pay $10 for unlimited episodes instead of $1 per rental episode on Apple.
Ultimately, my wife and I like things such as Food Network and ESPN too much to give up cable. We'll probably just stick with cable plus Netflix and call it good.
