Trust me I have Time Warner and if they cant make a fortune off of something they wont do it. Thats why we dont get anything at all on xbox live that involves cable, or NFL network or other coutless things. Im so glad im moving so I can switch to something better.

You just need to install a TV tuner like the HD homerun (expensive but easiest to install). Or an Avermedia A188 duet. Any of these two will give you the ability to record 2 shows at once or 1 show while watching another one live.

The most important part of the setup is the antenna. I don’t recommend indoor antennas. I would go to Amazon and buy a n small outdoor antenna

They already have local cable monopolies. I guess they want to dictate how content they don’t own is shown. Government should allow open access on cable infrastructure.

The main network sites already offer the same service without need of “authenticating”. Just a terrible business model. All I need is an internet connection to access the main network’s site and see whatever shows I want from the past 3-4 weeks. So how would Hulu’s authentication change any of that?

Most of Hulu’s stuff is already free, cheap on DVD, or skippable. And if you really can’t miss the shows, you can record to your PC for a one time fee.

If I’m a Hulu user, I’m not going to subscribe to cable so I can watch shows that air on network TV. Others might, but your business model shouldn’t be built around selling people things they can get for free…
