Here's a link to a free blu-ray player:

Well here in the states the only antennas seen these days are Dish! If you don't a cheapo analog to digital converter box for catching the over the air signal you get satellite Dish or Cable! Those converter boxed they first came out with when everybody had to start broadcasting in digital weren't even worth the effort! They wouldn't even last more then a month or two!
One option the cable company here is watching shows online! When logged into your account you can bring up the tv/movies page and watch either regular shows on demand, free movies, or rent. The company also has it's own portable app for watching on the go. Works for smart phones, netbooks, tablets but not laptops as far as the app is concerned.
The problem is that while I can easily see the laptop connect to the private network a care facility has for the loaner laptop they pass around I haven't been able to connect past that to the web. Otherwise I could set that up to simply watch from the account's tv and movie pages. It's actually a Quality of Life type issue for the person I know since they take the fixed income away leaving a small amount of cash for personal spending monthly with some of that paying for only the basic local stations on their cable set up.
