It streams internet video to your TV. Lots of channels, some free and some charge. Lots of esoteric free content.

Get a roku box, netflix, and Hulu and you really could get rid of cable/satellite.

I have three LED TV's that can connect to anything on the internet as well as two Blu Ray DVD players that connect to the internet on my non-internet TV's.

I'd recommend a Sony Blu Ray before a Roku or any other box. At least you'll have a Blu Ray players.

Oh, and I disagree with your assumption. I'll never get rid of Direct TV and all of its channels. AT&T, Time Warner, Cox and the internet aren't even a close second.

More like 1,041.

Meh. It depends on how invested you want to become in your electronic entertainment. I've got an old 32" TV in my living room. It has attached to it:

a blue ray player
one old video game system
a Roku
a VCR

The piece of furniture holding all of this marvelous technology is against a side wall of our living room. If you've stopped laughing long enough to continue reading yet, we do still have a couple of movie rental places in town that carry old VHS tapes so I left the VCR hooked up.

Actually, I misspoke: I have three Sony Bluray players with internet access.

It's 2013, not 1979.

I time shift sports, but only an hour or so. Don't want to wait a day or two for fear of being spoiled as to the result, but like FFDing through commercials and plays under review.

A laptop with an HDMI port and a browser with a good popup blocker solves that issue.
