I have wanted to go cable free for years, but the wife and kids are less keen. Really my wife is the main problem, but 90% of what she watches in on ABC. We are out in the boonies (long way from TV transmitters), so I bought a high powered antennae and installed it in the attic. It gets about 30-40 OTA channels, including NBC, Fox, etc...but not ABC. 
Slamz, if you don't like iTunes, you should get an AppleTV. You can instantly buy or rent and watch movies and TVs directly via the (very nice) interface, without ever having to use iTunes or even a computer at all. You can get the latest model for around 80 bucks. We watch Netflix on them too (have three around the house).
I have Amazon Prime too, which we can watch through an internet-enabled DVD player. But we never watch it - Netflix is better, and easier to get to (via AppleTV).
I'm still holding out for the mythical "pay just for what you watch" cable plan. Maybe will come with the also mythical iTV...maybe not...
