Nowadays, as long as you already have a fast broadband service, you can buy a small circuit board, ( Raspberry Pi), between $5 and $25, and with some research on the internet to program it, you can watch live TV from all over the world, as well as free on-demand programming, ( legal issues may or may not prevent this).
My current favorites are the British line up of several BBC channels, several ITV channels, and for fun a few Russian Channels.
