IBM is still just as active, just not in the consumer markets anymore. They're big into industry research and more specialized computing these days.
I also recommend Pluto.TV for anybody who enjoys Plex's live TV. They've got a similar business model in place (watch for free with regularly-scheduled ads, like normal TV), and some different content sources (as well as some overlapping sources).
