Any cable network would not sell their content for less just because it's on the internet. There are some very bad people that are trying to pilfer it but giving your money or credit card to pirates is ... a bad idea.

To receive TV via Internet you need an Internet connection. That can be either cable Internet, ADSL internet or satellite Internet. Then some kind of converter box (your PC might be able to serve as a primitive one and so might be your blue ray player) or a Smart TV that supports Youtube, hulu plus and/or netflix and possibly other (mostly paid) sources.
