TV Online
You all know by now that I am not much of a TV watcher. Â I rarely turn the set on. Â That said, I decided to watch tv online. I wanted to see a particular segment of a Christmas Special and I missed the original airing. Â I found the show and watched the portion I wanted to see, and I even enjoyed it.
Now I am wondering why people buy DVRs and chain themselves to television schedules at all?  The only negative thing about the experience is that I was forced to use IE, which I hate, but it was the only interface available for the particular show I wished to see.  Luckily not all shows are so limiting.
Have any of you watched the sports stations online? Â Do they have the games while they air, or are the games blacked out on TV also blacked out online?

I’m not much into TV either and I haven’t watched TV online. May be I get to it when I have a way better Internet connection ;). Not that I’m complaining about this new one. It is far better than the previous one.

Like you, I don’t watch much TV. But David watches it every day and he loves his big screen TV and DVR. He likes to record stuff on the DVR and then fast forward thru the commercials.

Thanks, Gigi — yeah, the commercials are a big part of why I quit watching TV in the first place. They were also a big part of what irked me with the special I wanted to watch. I just wanted to see one little thing segment and had to watch a dozen commercials to gert to it. I forgot that the DVR can weed them out.
I’ve never watched sports, but I do download quite a few of my favorite shows.

Mama Zen — who is your favorite online TV provider?
I don’t watch TV on line. I tried the link you provided but they wanted my cell phone number and I don’t have a cell phone.

Dr. John — I am sorry. It did not do that to me yesterday, but today it certainly did! I don’t know what’s up with that. Back to Zulu for me. They don’t pull fast switches.

I listen to the University of Nebraska football games on the Internet when they aren’t broadcast on TV.

Can you lie about the phone number? My sister has a standard answer for both the phone # and her SSN. She thinks this irequest s going beyond the limit.
