Thing is, all of these things are available as is from non-legitimate sources. From what I've seen, someone with couch potato, sickbeard and a place to get content will have a far, far better media experience than any subscriber to any existing service (terrestrial, satellite, internet, etc...). Pick your show or movie (whether it's out yet or not), your resolution requirements if you want to be picky (whatever is out there, or must be blu ray, or must be DVD quality, etc...), and just watch it arrive. New episode hits air? You get an email shortly after telling you you have it and it's ready to play. You cannot pay for any service close to this. This is a completely upside-down world.
