I use XBMC on my main PC out through HDMI to the tv in a different room. Add a USB remote/receiver and an extension and it was wife friendly enough to keep her happy. For live TV I built a small antenna and receive digital HD over the air signals. If I remember correctly I get CBC, Global, CTV, Omni, KVOS, and a couple of other shopping channels in HD. A channel and Chek should be going to digital in the next few months and that will cover 99% of what you get on basic cable anyways. With a bit of work I may get PBS. IT's free and legal and the picture is better then cable so it's not like the old snowy tv days.
