Hulu

Hulu is a web-based movie database, where consumers can simply browse and play video content (even in HD!). This service is free and commercials help offset any cost to the consumer. Unlike Youtube, consumers cannot add video content, but content is uploaded from major TV networks. I do not know if the intend to charge for this service, but it is similar to netflix's "instant" movie services (which cost about $10 a month. I know many individuals that do not have TV service, but rather use Hulu to watch whatever they would like, on demand.
