Cable TV Alternative

With the cost of cable TV (and internet service) increasing on an annual basis, shows and programs becoming readily available on the internet. I'm seriously considering of getting rid of cable service. However there are a few things holding me back, and until I can find a reliable replacement, I'd need to continue to stick with my cable provider for now.

1. Live Sporting events (NBA/NHL) - Any way that I can catch these on TV in HD quality without subscribing to cable service (paid or unpaid)?

2. Fairchild TV - Need an easy and reliable replacement for Fairchild TV as the folks don't really know how to use a computer. Tablets aren't an issue for them. So far, I've come across TVPad2 (TVpad????????????_????) that's available. Anyone have experience with these? Apparently they have TVB and ATV broadcasted 24/7, but what about VOD?

I need to address these issues before I can consider replacing my cable tv entirely. Paying $150/month for 2 basic services that I mainly use for Fairchild TV and NHL (and it's not even on these days) is pretty retarded.
