couple of ideas to avoid spending hundreds of bucks on cable.
1) buy a roku for netflix & hulu,
2) split your OTA signal and run it to your TV to get live TV.
This is exactly how I have it set up
1) TV for live TV,
2) roku for streaming, and
3) XBMC for my local media.

I do the same thing except I use a Apple TV for streaming and iTunes videos of tv shows that I can't get OTA. I don't use a PI for XBMC but same idea. Netflix and iTunes on the computer is not 10 foot friendly

That would fall under "local media" so XBMC.

I think he was also wanting to know what you use to record tv. I used to use WMC but since moved to Argus TV for more recording options.

Ah, I use WMC too. My OTA goes to an HDHomerun and directly to my TVs. The WMC talks nicely to the HDHomerun for all of my recording. At the moment I only use XBMC for playback and do all of the scheduling at the PC but I'll be working on that.
I also use VideoReDo TV Suite to edit and remove commercials on any recordings I want to keep.
