I'm interested, but... I already have a PC I use for watching web content on my HDTV. And the last thing I need is another monthly payment.... I see little likelihood that I will be willing to add more equipment, or replace existing equipment, as well as subscribe to a service (unless it were DIRT cheap) unless the content is extensive. I mean, LIVE SPORTS... and all the top shows from all the networks. Every TV Solution out there from cable to Satellite, based on market limitations leaves large gaps in the items I can watch at the time they are aired. I'm tired of watching sports when I already know the winner, and sick of missing shows that are not included in web content from the networks who broadcast them.

Maybe I missed something in the details from the links you provided, did you hear any specifics on the content? I heard a vague but canvasing comment about "ANYTHING YOU WANT TO WATCH", but I'm skeptical.
