I know I've made this comment before; and I'm not trying to distract from what a great product Boxee is. However, without the major sports leagues taking back their streaming rights from cable providers and allow people to sign up directly, as much as I love this box, it sadly won't be able to replace cable TV. :(

Broadcast still works well for sports, as long as you're interested in your home team. It's what I use for NFL.

Sadly; I don't live in my home team's market anymore; so I'm stuck using 3rd party sources.

Actually, as far as the NFL goes, I really don't have a choice but to use pirated streams online. The building in which I live can't get DirecTV so I have literally no other option.
