I'm curious if anyone is using just the internet for their TV viewing. How does it compare to other sources of TV content? Thanks muchly.

I have had a regular PC connected to my PC for over a decade. I don't get a lot of online content but I use it like a DVR, music player and web browser. I am looking at a Netflix subscription as we speak. Once you get to a flat screen with a VGA connector, it is just your monitor. Add a blue tooth keyboard and mouse and you have an armchair entertainment center for $100 or whatever you can find an "off lease" used computer for. You need something "dual core" for most new video capture cards but they are still out there cheap.

Internet to TV players, services?

Per DerbyDad03:

I have been using SageTV running 24-7 on my main PC with 4 tuners.

Greatest thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately Google bought it out and killed the product.

There's an analog in the Linux world called MythTV that I failed to master, but which others swear by.

Either way, the WDTV is the best way to consume them.
