I live 7 hours from NYC, but I’m still considered local. Unfortunately they blackout any “Local” games. I went to mlb.tv thinking I would be happy to pay for the ability to watch games on the computer. I am an avid Mets fan and watch quite a bit of the baseball season. Between an over the air antenna, Netflix, Hulu, and iTunes, we would be able to watch almost everything we wanted.

A Slingbox AV is connected to the Time Warner DVR cable box. With our iPhones or my 1st gen iPod Touch we can control and stream music throughout the house.

The living room has a 32-Inch Vizio LCD TV (it’s a small room and 32 in. Our bedroom has a 10 plus year old TV and an Airport Express for streaming music. The main computer in the house is a Mac Mini, which is about 18 months old and lives upstairs in our office. I’ve never lived in a home without cable TV, and it worries me. Our Netflix subscription also made this more palatable.
