Netflix instead of satellite & Redbox???

My main contention for sticking with the satellite is that you cannot watch live sporting events without it. I am not sure if the google TV can get live sporting events or not, but I know that Netflix, hulu, etc. cannot.

It depends, since GoogleTV (GTV) is basically the net, if you can get streams of live events on the internet you should be able to on it I WOULD ASSUME. I have watched the masters on it, it was spotty.

As for all events, there may be an App on GTV that would allow that...not sure. It just depends on if the internet site you are looking for your game on is compliant with GTV...not all are, for example Hulu Plus
