I agree that this is the way things are headed, and I will be all too happy to jump on this bandwagon. The only thing keeping me from cutting the cord (or ditching the dish, in my case) is live sporting events. I'm not a sports fanatic, but I like to be able to turn on a basketball or football game (or even baseball if it's a reeeeally slow day). My house is situated out of line-of-sight from the public TV broadcast towers and I would have a serious beer gut if I went to the local sports bar to watch, so I'm beholden to a TV subscription package.
