You thought you were pretty smart. You got rid of your cable tv service and now watch your shows online on Hulu for free. The cable television providers were not going to take this lying down. Time Warner and Comcast will start a pilot service called TV Everywhere that will allow cable subscribers to watch shows online according to Wired's Epicenter blog. The shows offered on TV Everywhere will likely feature shows from Time Warner-owned networks, TNT and TBS among others.
Basic cable shows now found on Hulu will migrate to TV Everywhere. If cable television providers think by offering a online television service for current subscribers will prevent customers from leaving they may be in for a rude awakening. iTunes offers a host of shows from both broadcast and cable networks, though not offered for free, are reasonably priced for a whole season. Instead of buying access to shows you don't want, iTunes allows you to buy just the shows you want to watch when you want. It is cheaper to buy season passes for a handful of shows on iTunes than to subscribe to basic cable for an entire broadcast season.
