If it's stuff that I can get OTA with an antenna (If I didn't live in  
the sticks), then no, I wouldn't pay for it. I'd setup myth to record  
it and auto strip the commercials. So for me there's no difference  
between this and downloading the torrent.

As far as "pay" channels (being cable and premium channels). I would  
only pay for episodes if they came in the same quality as if I bought  
the DVD box set or greater, and/or I got a coupon/voucher for the DVD  
box set when it came out. Then I would pay around $30/season or $2/ 
episode.
