I watch quite a bit on hulu, particularly things that are on weeknights as I'm rarely home before 9, and utilize the free episodes that you can find on network sites.
Sports programming is very different though, largely becasue the fact that it's live matters. I hate PVRing a game, and I'm sure as hell not going to hunt around for my teams games and then have my feed drop out halfway through the third period (not to mention watching an out of market NFL game like I did this year and seeing my fantasy tracker update with scores from the same game 5 minutes before I saw them).
The debate isn't that watching online is no good, it's that replacing a revenue stream with the hope of a revenue stream is foolish.
