I just use netflix, it has most of the TV shows my daughter watches plus provides some movies for us to hang out with and watch. I miss sporting events too, supposedly if you can get access to espn3 streaming website and get a program called playon you can get some sporting events streamed to your tv by making your PC a media server. I haven't done this though. I personally use a PS3 for Netflix and it works really well. It will also pick up the Playon software so you can stream ESPN to it as well. Also can get some shows/movies in HD if your internet connection is fast enough.
