What's on TV tonight? No need to look to a limited cable, satellite or broadcast, why not pull your shows through the Internet? Your choice, many free or small monthly fee!
Netflix has for some time now, offered unlimited streaming video for a low monthly fee (currently only $8.99 per month unlimited online viewing and includes having one DVD out at a time via the mail). Recently they made a deal with Starz! to offer much more content. It is only the beginning though, expect to see more deals and more content coming down the road.
If you want to watch your shows for free but with commercials, you can look into Hulu. They allow you to watch many full length shows anywhere from “Chuck” or “The Fringe” down to “Woody Woodpecker” or “Alf”. All free, but you have to put up with some advertisements.
There are others in the market also, but the new guy on the block appears to be Google with YouTube, which has announced they will soon begin delivering full length shows with advertisements through their network. For more information their announcement:

Choices keep coming and within another year or two, I wonder how many people will have cable, satellite or antennas for entertainment.. It seems we are heading for one large pipe coming in to bring Internet and all other services running through that pipe. One monthly bill with make life a bit easier ;)
