I'm going to be layed up from a back surgery for several months and was thinking that getting TV on my laptop might be handy. Anyone useing this? If so what's best & cheapest?

Why not just watch the regular tv?

Hulu is amazing. I would use it constantly if it weren't for the t.v's being bigger than a laptop screen

Depending on the braces and sleeping probs I may be in a room without a tv. Thanks for your help. I will look into hula/boxee.
