Piracy is pretty simple. It takes about 3 seconds to set up a show to auto-torrent. Not to mention the myriad of websites that have tv shows just sitting on them. Heck, I have plugins on my XBMC install that let me just click to thousands of shows and movies in seconds.
That being said, my Tivo means I can record 99.9% of the shows I watch, Redbox/Blockbusterexpress means I can rent movies with promo codes (I haven't intentionally paid for a movie in 3+ years), and Pandora/Spotify means I get pretty much any music I want for $10 a month (and I have everything else I think I want that isn't available on there).
Counting cable/Tivo/Spotify/Redbox, I pay right at $100 a month for pretty much any movie, music, or tv show I want.
