The cord-cutters must be effecting their profits enough to force the issue. So I got a "free for 1 year" cablebox for each TV. I may threaten or actually go with Verizon FIOS next year when the "free" is not-at-all-free per TV.

You need to load scripts from Playonscripts.com. That
is where Playon excels. Get project free TV and Ice Films for starters.
They will replace dvd rental service as well as shows TV series
programming. Browse the scripts and install the scripts that you like. I
use Play on also for YouTube.

Just hook your computer to the tv with an HDMI cable. I also purchased a remote for the computer that hooks into a usb port. That way I can pause downloads. I watch a lot of tv this way through watchseries.eu and tv-links.eu (.eu because of US restrictions). We watch newer episodes of White Collar and Burn Notice that are not on Netflix yet. Can watch anything that is on the computer this way.

Hulu, plus there is a script for Roku called Supervoxtv (works only w/o
PlayOn) that enables you to stream live TV. I've used the website quite
often (supervoxtv.com) to stream Fox News, ABC, last night my son and I
watched The Walking Dead season premiere on it. The TV my Roku is connected
to right now is dying (it's over 25 yrs old), so we aren't watching as much
with it as we could. I don't know if we're going to disconnect the Roku from
that TV and put it in our family room, or just let it be for a bit. Dish is
going away this month, at least for a while so we can save some $$. We might
move the Roku then. PlayOn also has other plugins that we use. I find we get
better access through the PlayOn links to network sites (NBC, ABC, etc.)
than through Hulu. Hulu seems to lag a lot for us, while the network sites
don't, or at least it's not as noticeable.
Everybody's watching habits are different, though, so it really depends on
what you like and what your usage is.

I just tested it on my Roku, some shows work, a lot don't. It's a shame. But on the plus side, I found out at the same time that the Youtube app for Plex now works fine on the Roku, so at least there's that.
