Received a ton of helpful emails about Roku, which is this gadget right here. Once I cancel my satellite provider at the end of the contract, I will definitely be looking into this. It's not the same Fox News you get on cable, but it's an online version, so you will at least know what's going on.

People are also telling me that some sports are already available through Roku and that it's just a matter of time before the NFL shows up.

That would solve my last problem.

Like I said, eventually content providers, including the NFL, will have to go where the people are. They're not going to lose millions of customers in the stubborn hope we come to our senses and go back to the evil that is bundled cable.

I read somewhere that Roku just sold their millionth unit. That's a lot of eyeballs not watching your product.

Let's see here: Local NFL games (and select national games) are available free over the air. Just connect that new HDTV or converter box equiped analog TV to the appropriate antenna. My local affluent suburban neighborhood Walmart sells out of DTV converter boxes almost weekly. Mix in low cost internet streaming, and your good to go. Roku also has WSJ Live, CNN, and other news videos and feeds.
