This looks like the closest thing yet to what I'm after.
The good news is that it includes NBC, FOX, CBS and ABC. This would eliminate needing to put up an antenna and have a DVR just to record NFL football games, etc. The DVR support also seems to be awesome.
It also includes all the other sports channels I would like. Only channel missing that I watch is CNN. But for $35 a month I may be going with it when it is available here.
But there are some negatives other than the lack of CNN. No Apple TV app, at least now. And, since Google makes Chromecast, it won't exactly be a high priority for them ;>)
Also, the rollout will be on a city-by-city basis. They will probably start with cities without privately owned network affiliates. Here in Denver, NBC and ABC are privately held and may not be covered by the present agreement.
But, it looks like a hopeful sign. I will be canceling my 3 month DirecTv trial. I'm thinking that by the end of the year there will be an acceptable solution. Hulu and Apple are still yet to be heard from in terms of package offerings.
