Dude...that sounds way complicated and expensive. All anybody really needs is an android TV box (MX) for each TV you want to watch on and a decent HD antenna. I can get pretty much all sports live but not always in HD. The antenna gives me 90% of LSU and Saints games. The other 10% just might not be in HD. This thing is like having every TV series and movie recorded on a dvr. You don't need to record shows because they are already there. I have small kids so it's not as if I can just sit down when a show airs and watch it anyway. Great platform... I just hope it lasts for a few years.

Its awesome esp since I live overseas. Watching all my american shows with perfect quality if you have high end DL speeds. I have 100meg down so its great.
Not that hard to set up if you can follow basic instructions. Used it alot in Germany. My ISP here blocks 1channel but thats easy to get around.
I have a PC just for streaming live tv off the internet. Have my slingbox mostly for sports and XBMC for shows I don't want to download.
My set up is pretty sweet b/c I also use watchespn if needed and I have Virgin Media tv which picture quality blows anything in the states out the water.

I just use the WatchESPN app and pay for Hulu for shows, and have Amazon Prime for instant video they have.
Other stuff I use my parents directv login to access NBCSports streaming and other stuff you can view with a DTV login.
So really all I pay for for TV is Amazon Prime yearly and Hulu monthly.
Already pay for NHL Gamecenter yearly but split it with 2 friends and my parents get NFL Sunday Ticket for free every year as long time DTV subscribers so I get that too with their login. God bless parents. Now DTV just needs to get SEC Network so I'll have it via streaming, but if not my good friend will give me his U-Verse login.

Yea live sports stream quality is bad
