    Does it pull shows from the major networks, like Survivor?

    I don't know about Survivor in particular, but you can get some stuff like that through the Clicker app (just an interface for clicker.com, which is itself just an interface for other sites like cbs.com).

    I also recommend Hulu Desktop for more free tv show streaming. In fact I like Hulu Desktop better for that. Don't remember if Hulu has cbs/Survivor though.

    Zinc.TV is a good aggregator, too. It'll grab from almost anywhere like Hulu or the networks or NetFlix.

    Thanks for the replies, folks. Trying to ditch my cable and the crazy $78 a month bill...
