"Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive"

To get all my favorite shows wihtout a TV provider. I see tons of posts about people watching all their shows online, but I don't know what is the best service to subscribe to.

I'm thinking about getting all my TV needs from my xbox, (since it's connected to my TV), but I don't see any services that offer shows live. That kills it for me, and I end up thinking it's not worth it. So, what do you guys recommend?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Ok so...ditch your TV provider and get Netflix and/or Hulu. If you have a desktop computer you can buy a TV tuner which let's you access TV shows without a TV plan.

I recommend AverMedia for a TV tuner. You can get one for $70 off of Newegg.com. You access the TV channels via Windows Media Center.

I was on mobile before...now i'm laptop. Time to link that TV tuner.

AverMedia TV Tuner - new

Same thing but open boxed (significantly cheaper)

Personally i'd say get the open boxed for a couple of reasons.
1) It's sooo much cheaper.
2) By "open box" it means that the product was used once or twice and sent back for some reason. Not necessarily broken.

So buy the open box one and if it's broken....send it back for another one or get your money back and buy the new one.

Pretty much this. If you're lucky you have a isp that participates in espn3 then you get sports too.

If I had an isp in my area that did that I would be very happy.
