we're doing the same. got rid of cable since no one is around to watch it. although we do have our fav shows, so we went with netfix and hulu plus route.
Netflix we love. it is a great service. though XBOX live, the app works great and with the voice commands it's even better ("Xbox pause" and there you go paused show, "Xbox next episode" Voilà) we pay $8.00 a month, can view it on three Xbox accounts at once and on devices (tablets, phones). Love love the service.
Hulu Plus. I can't stand. the interface is counter productive. I find that getting to the show we want to watch are rarely available on the tv. ie. not all the shows on it are able to stream via television and it's not very clear which are which are not. (the simpsons to name one) The search is awful and the service does not work on typical mobile devices. doesn't work on my ipad1 or my androids gingerbread (device not supported) ?!?
saying that note we are going to drop hulu plus and replace it with http://www.playon.tv/ . has better shows ( http://www.playon.tv/channels ) and a life time buy in (50 bucks). it is a little more technical to set up (has to stream via WMC plugin) but ive gotten great reviews by people i know whom use it already.
