Web Satellite TV?

Hey all

My cable bill is absolutely ridiculous and I can only use the company, Primecast, that my building uses. I love HBO series, especially Flight, but I am looking at 120 plus to get cable with HBO and just can't justify it for the little time I am home and how I never really watch TV.

I came across Web Satellite TV, which says I can watch a ton of channels (HBO doesn't seem to be included) for a one time fee of like 50 bucks. I could either hook that up to my LCD with my extra iBook or buy an apple TV and use an application like boxee to sling it over. Any one have any experience with this, kind of seems to good to be true.

I would keep free basic cable which is local and some channels like discovery, TLC but lacks MTV, etc

Thanks
