I know that there's an online NFL package, I've seen people mention it. As far as streaming a show you want to watch, you're probably better off just downloading the episode or looking for it on the network's website if it's available. It really depends on what you're looking for as far as if it will be available, all of that is dependent on the station, but most stuff can be found via newsgroups, torrents, etc.

If you want an actual tv provider subscription you can just slap a tv tuner card or external box along with your computer.

You can use a home based VOIP provider like Vonage or something similar for your phone which is only 25/month and comes with a lot of features, usually running some sort of promotion. With Vonage you'd use pretty much whatever phone, they provide the converter box. Alternatively you could use something like Skype which is a bit cheaper, but not so "true" of a phone service, however you can purchase minutes cheaply (about 2c a min or unlimited for 3 bucks and up a month) as well as buy a number to allow others to call you (18 bucks per 3 months or 60 for a year.. if you do the monthly subscription they usually drop this 50 pct). Voicemail used to be included with the in-number but now it's 6 bucks every 3 months or 20 for a year.. though I think it's free if you do the monthly subscription. With this you'd use either a headset, pair of headphones and microphone, or a Skype compatible phone.
