If you have an iPad, at least most of the work is done for you. With help from a few subscription services, you may never feel like having cable again.
All you need to get started is a television with an HDMI port.
One of the best ways to get video off of your iPad and onto your television is with Digital AV Adapter. They're $33.70 on Amazon.
You need an HDMI cable to connect your adapter to your television. A 3-meter cable is $7.49.
If you're most concerned with making sure you have access to current television shows, you need Hulu Plus. It costs $7.99 per month and you can sign up right here.
One of the go-to names in streaming media, Netflix has loads of movies and television ready and waiting for you to stream to your iPad and mirror onto your television. Unlimited streaming costs $7.99 per month.
You can load up your iPad with movie files and play them on your television via any number of media-player apps. We recommend GoodPlayer, which is available here for $2.99.
Released today, the Amazon Instant Video app offers Netflix-like functionality, getting you access to thousands of your favorite movies and television shows. Check it out here.
Aereo is a service that lets you watch live over-the-air TV on your iPad and lets you record shows as well. This is all possible by "renting" one of several small HD antennas connected to a data center for $12 per month. Check out Aereo here.
