Actually using a Comcast cable box to watch things in 2015. I can't understand it. An Apple TV with a netflix and hulu account get you 95% of the way, with 100X better of a user experience.

Or if you don't have $100 to spare, you can always connect your laptop to your tv.

Will it solve wanting to see live sports and all the "good morning" shows I watch while prepping to go to work and do I get the new episodes of shows on their release day?

For sports it looks like there are some online, subscription type options. Still, I'd say that sports and morning shows would fall under the 5% not covered, but if those are super important to you then I could see that being an issue.

Hulu is pretty good about getting new shows up pretty quickly, usually the day after. I'm usually able to live with not seeing a show the minute it airs.
