First, computer screens and TV's are at this point indistinguishable. It's the same thing, for the most part. There are a few differences between monitors and TV's, but not much. So the difference in the resolution? That's only going to be because of the source. HD signals are, to the layman's eye, not distinguishable between cable and satillite. If you're streaming over the internet and have enough bandwidth, the same will be true.
The difference is availability, both as a positive and negative. With the internet, you're able to stream things at your convenience and not have to wait for a set schedule. But your choices are typically limited until they've been broadcast. It depends on what you want from your TV.
If you're trying to make a decision, telling us more about your set-up and requirements are the necessary next step.
