For those of you who watch TV, but do not pay for cable, what do you use?
Hulu, Boxee, Apple TV? A cable from your computer?

All of our major networks are free no matter what, in HD, and there are several simple ways to get that content on the TV. After that it's a combination of streaming media (Netflix & Hulu) and using a device to access subscription and other paid content (Boxee/Roku/Apple TV, iTunes & AirPlay/PS3/XBox/Computer) to get the rest. I did this for awhile, happily, but in the end got cable for the integrated DVR and movie channels. At one point way back I had the El Gato EyeTV device and an antenna to receive/record network TV onto my computer.
