I've been doing this for two years, no regrets on ditching cable box. The only time I miss it is the rare occasion when friends aren't doing anything for a UT football game.
It bothers me when companies dismiss streaming/on-demand due to it's "bandwidth" costs because companies like GigaNews seem to be quite profitable and offer unlimited download + SLL for $30 a month or less.
- TetOn 17y ago>for a UT football game This seems to be the rub. I can't imagine the networks/cable-cos letting these assets go in a "pay $X to stream this game" way anytime soon. It seems likely that live sports (more than anything else I can think of) will likely be the cudgel for much broader content delivery service agreements for some time to come.

- mikeryan 17y agoMLB is the only sport that keeps full rights to their internet streaming. The rest of the sports have traditionally tied internet streaming to their broadcast deals.
