Over a year ago, I decided to give up my cable box and save myself nearly $100/month in cable bills.
For about a year now, I have scoured the web, trying to find my favorite shows. I am very happy to say how successful the hunt has been.
Most of the shows I watch are available on:
http://www.hulu.com (top chef, Naruto)
http://netflix.com (stream TV shows, movies - largest library!!)
http://www.cwtv.com/ (America's Next Top Model - woot!!)
http://abc.go.com/ (Desperate Housewives and Wipeout)
http://www.logotv.com/ (Ru Paul's Drag Race!)
http://www.mylifetime.com/ (Project Runway)
In addition to steaming online via computer, some are also available for free with a corresponding mobile application. ABC and Netflix have Apple Store applications that allow you to stream the television shows online, on your iPhone, on your iPad.
There are certain shows that are a must buy, and why not?! Saving $100/month, you're allowed to purchase other media in lieu of. On iTunes, ANTM is only $8.99 for a whole season so you can watch it over and over until your heart's content.
There are so many ways to stream now that you can even watch your shows on your TV. You can buy a Roku Box, a Xbox 360, Wii or PS3 and you can stream shows via Netflix. If you buy a Blu-ray player now, you can probably also stream Netflix or Amazon's Video on Demand.
Cut the cable and upgrade your WI-FI!

Until next time.
