This is precisely what I used to do. However, I sold my Xbox360 and prefer to watch the show legitimately, even if I have to mute the advertisements.

Another thing the xbox 360 has going for it is you can download 720p videos with bittorrent or whatever on your computer and stream it to your xbox. I run tversity on my main desktop at home for this.
There's also AppleTV, though Apple is right up there with Microsoft. Or a Roku Player that can stream from Amazon and Netflix.

Hilarious. BTW, I used TVersity, as well. Loved it. I sold the Xbox though to get a PS3. Hell, maybe that device will get me what I need, but I'd rather not download the shows via torrents. I'm all about the Apple TV, but I've got to be able to make something similar with a little open source box. I found a service called Zentoo, but it appears not to be in the US.
