You make some good points (however if you miss a PVR they do make a number of OTA PVR's including a Tivo solution) and, even if they have device restrictions for playback of certain shows, that really doesn't matter if you use the VGA/HDMI/DVI out on your computer to the in jacks on the back of your TV.

I don't dabble in online much (I prefer TV on DVD) but many seem to enjoy it just fine (as long as you're not really into sports) however your unhappiness with going cable free is a good suggestion to others that they should consider weening off cable while keeping the service active to see how much you enjoy the alternatives of OTA, iTunes/Unbox, TV on DVD etc.

There are plenty of free live feeds you can find online. I've been in gameday threads with people asking for links to live feeds and out of curiosity I checked it out and they actually work.
