Most people would go blind if all they did was watch tv on their computer.
Maybe a lil sarcastic but ya get the point. I really don't know anyone that watches
TV on their computer. OTA or otherwise.

I do know people who use Netflix for movies and such though, rather than running to the video store, or paying cable or satellite PPV fees. But not their primary source of TV. They all still have a Cable or Satellite Bill to pay on top.

You realize that it is quite easy to connect a computer to a TV right?

They even make quite a few that are designed to be used as set top boxes. You can easilly purchase an Acer Revo, Dell Zino, Mac Mini, Apple TV, etc, connect it to a TV, have it automatically download new episodes of your favourite show through torrents or newsgroups and then use XBMC, Boxee or Plex with a beautiful interface to catalogue and index your Movies and TV shows and even download synopses of each show or movie. Not to mention that these programs also allow you to stream from individual network sites or Hulu right to the box and right to your TV.

Will be nice when some company puts out an official product that can compete legally.

This is changing. A lot of people under 30 do watch TV off their HTPC, on their laptops on their phones and tablets. This is without any out of the box solution from a big company. Once Google TV, iTV and whatever other competitors comes out with better out of the box solutions, watch the numbers grow.

Apple should be announcing something new in these regards today.
