    Like you I have also seen the writing on the wall with cable for TV.
    I first purchased a Samsung smart TV for the bedroom.
    With an HD antenna on the roof I receive all my local HD broadcasts,
    Wirelessly connect with the TV to our home WIFI and use the apps for
    NetFlix, Amazon Prime Video, HBOGO. all without comercial interuption.
    As a family we have found less and less that we care to watch on regular cable.
    The exceptions to that would be the shows Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, SCFI’s Faceoff.
    So I have seriously considered scalling back the cable or even eliminating it all together.

    Google’s Chromecast has worked flawlessly for me and is a nice streaming solution
    for NetFlix with HBOGO in the development wings.

    That said I have recently purchased a SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME – NewEgg = $139.99
    (See the deal post here) http://www.missingremote.com/forums/silicondust-hdhomerun-prime-newegg-13999
    As of this post the deal is still live.

    Setup the HDHomeRun PRIME on the home network and hope to stream tuners to
    my Panisonic BluRay player and smart TV via DLNA.

    I’m also in the process of rebuilding my HTPC for recording.
