^ The web browser on the PS3 is garbage, so unfortunately it can't handle the current flash version that most (all?) of the broadcasters' sites are using. I would recommend (as Mel did), to hook up your computer to your TV.

One device that I have is a Boxee Box, and it actually organizes all of the available, legal content from the broadcasters and organizes it in nice menus. It is a nice bridge between the web and your TV. Although the box itself costs about $180, you can also download a free PC/Mac version that will do the same thing for you once you have your computer hooked up to the TV.

It is a pleasant surprise to see how much content is available legally on the web sites of the big networks. Sometimes they'll leave the whole season up, and sometimes you'll be able to get the most recent episodes in case you miss one.

Edit: Just saw your post in the Mac thread about the adapter necessary. I have hooked up my MacBook Air to the TV using the same adapter (the new ones are called "thunderbolt to HDMI" as they carry sound, even though they are the same plug as the mini display port ones) and it works like a charm.
