Roku announced a deal with Time Warner Cable that will let the cable company’s subscribers stream up to 300 live channels through through Roku box

The last thing I want to be is a cable subscriber,

I got mine over a year ago and would never go back. It offers more content than Roku for anyone outside of the US. Hulu is US only as well.

If you have cable Internet, usually the broadcast channels are unscrambled. Just plug the cable into your HDTV and scan the cable channels. If you want to be legal usually there is a (non-advertised) plan where you can pay for the broadcast channels for $15 per month.

Cutting the cord is something I recommend for anyone I know that doesn’t care to watch sports regularly.

As a huge college football honk, I tried cutting the cord last year and came right back to DirecTV. One has many streaming options for most TV shows available for purchase via iTunes or Amazon approximately 24 hours after the show has run on network TV. Moreover, movie fanatics can get first crack at purchasing online and DVD releases well before they hit the premium movie channels. However, live sports programming is a completely different beast. The options to purchase live sports programming are generally limited to out of market programming as detailed by you above and moreover, the quality is hit-or-miss at best. I hated going back to DirecTV, but short of that, I had no viable options as a sports fan short of accepting mediocre live sports streaming or frequenting local sports taverns.
