You do not need cable TV. It is right up there w/ a landline - an ancient relic marketers try to convince you is necessary.
Can you explain the VPN thing?
VPN is simply tunneling IP video. I.E. you are repeating the video for provate use.

They operate servers in 31 countries worldwide. You connect to your local ISP, which then sends packets to the server you choose (say the UK). An encrypted secure connection is established w/ this remote server, which then touches the rest of the internet.
So your ISP sees encrypted traffic, and does not know what it is from or where it is going - they have no record of your activity. If you access BBC from the US via a UK server, you establish an encrypted connection with the UK server. Your ISP just sees your machine saying, "send this gobbleddy goo to this UK address". And this same stream of nonsense is sent from the UK server to your machine, but nobody can read it except you. The signal goes from the BBC servers, to the UK servers, is encrypted, and sent to your machine.
Cost is $75/yr, works on your PC, phone, etc.
to the OP - just search google for a livestream of nbc/msnbc/whatever, surely you will find it.
this is the real way to watch TV / events today. for free via some random stream on a site like stream2watch or some other site. that's how i watched wimbledon this sunday, since for the first time in who knows how long, it wasn't on nbc. easy enough workaround.
NBC is owned by Comcast so it is not surprising that cable is a requirement for streaming.
NBC are horrible, it is not my fault they paid too much for the olympics. I am watching everything online, TV is dead. NBC want to turn live events into some reality show! Biased and ignorant broadcasting, everything is like watching stup Krapdashian shows. Thanks to faking proxies, I get eurosport, bbc and supersport from SA and that is what I am going to use. I can not stand that effeminate hunchback Bob Costas
I won't go to all the bother.
I'll just watch the replays on youtube in a couple months.

According to a quote within your own post, you do not have to have cable.
Hate to break it to you, but despite the intense advertising effort, everybody knows that "satellite" is still cable. What defines cable is the business model; whereby you are forced to buy tens or hundreds of channels that you do not want so that you may watch the 10-15 that you do. It doesn't matter that directv doesn't use co-axial cable or fiber optics, they still make you bend over (with no lube) to watch the shows that you want to :0
