Okay, just to let you know, those of you who pay for cable are suckas! No one watches tv on tv anymore. Who wants to sit through all of those boring commertials or pay for TiVo service? Just do yourself a favor and stop watching the tube. If you went out and bought an expensive flat screen which you think was worth the money, think again. You will inevitably run into to this problem:
Now to the issue at hand. For a long time I was a bitTorrent junkie. How else was I going to get my weekly fix of BSG or My Name is Earl? I loved downloading because at the end of a season, I had the whole set I could burn to DVD. Who wouldn't want to watch all four seasons of The Office in one day?
Now I have learned the error of my ways. Almost all of my favorite tv shows can be found in streaming video on the web. All of the major networks have video players, and there are many other websites out there on the interweb that host these videos. What is the price of this instant gratification you ask? The viewer is subjected to 3-4 30sec ads. Sure beats the 7 mins of advertising you are forced to endure watching the tube. And I can pause, rewind, and rewatch the show whenever I want. Who minds ads when they are as entertaining as this?
So stop whining, get some new speakers for your computer, or one of those cables that links to your tv, and start streaming.
