Don't get me wrong, I hear you. But I just can't imagine needing to watch TV from a computer or my phone bad enough to spend $230. I have a 100 hour DVR for a reason. And I guess for me, I am just too busy. Hell, right now I have shows from last week that I haven't even watched yet on my DVR.

But then again, I am an IT Manager and work 50+ hours a week. I am also married and have four kids. So the only free time I have anymore that is not spent with my family is spent with my Xbox 360. And that my friend does not happen often enough. So for me it is certainly not an issue of cost but rather time... and I know my lack of free time would make this a wasted purchase for me.
