Roku HD (720p) is $58 on Amazon. You can pay more for the 1080p but I don't know how much streaming stuff does 1080 anyway. I may actually get one myself -- looks like it does a hell of a lot more than my Tivo.
I don't do broadcast stuff at the moment because I basically live in a ravine. I have to be on my 3rd floor to get cell reception (fixed that with a Network Extender though). I'd have to put up a roof antenna for reception but I'm lazy. And for shows that are airing now you can often get it the next day on the channel's website or on Hulu (or Hulu Plus).
Really it was easy for me because TV isn't much of a foundation of my entertainment. I watch a lot of Netflix but I haven't sat down to watch network TV in years. (I think the last show I really sat and watched was BSG. I was watching Walking Dead but that's on Hulu anyway.)
