Finally took the plunge. Bought a blue-ray/dvd player with built in wifi and a subscription to netflix. I used to cringe at the thought of watching TV streaming over the internet but I must say I am impressed. At $10/mo, it should be giving Dish/Directv/cable a run for their money.
Pros
- HD quality
- No interruptions due to repeated buffering etc
- TV episodes and movies
- lots of content (kids, adults)
Cons
- No live tv (I still can't get myself to buy an antenna to get the free channels over the air)
- Initial connection setup time (2-3 mins - turn on, choose netflix, choose a selection etc)
The question now is whether to take Hulu+ service as well or not? Even if I do, I will still be down $20/month which is far better than the $85/month I am paying for dish. Decisions, decisions!!!

wait for Apple TV.. hopefully.. it will revolutionize and put the final nail in coffin of Cable TV.. At least we hope that this time Apple got it right!!!
Well, I won't hold my breath for Apple TV. Even though their products are cool, Apple is no saint when it comes to doing good. They make a tonne of money and their products are not cheap. Look at IPAD - $600 or so where as kindle fire is $199. Apple is in the business of making huge amt of money through innovative products. I don't expect them to come up with good cheap solutions.
