Internet TV ????

What options are out there?

My Bride and I are always talking about ways of cutting cost and spending less.

We have considered dropping cable, but before we do what is out there for the home viewer on the internet.

I know that youtube can be entertaining as well as informative, but is there a way to access news broadcast, videos on how to sites etc.?

Please share what you know.

We don't have any cable or satelite and very little reception. I spend my time trapping sites LOL, we tried the hulu w/little success. The kids in TX. love it. We been w/out anything to watch for so long (since the digital chg) about got used to it.

We don't watch any reular TV either. No cable or payperview or anything like that. We tried Netflix and that was ok but now we have the monthly Blockbuster thing which is just like Netflix. I enjoy it for the most part but sometimes you'll get disc in the mail that are trashed and don't play. I have considered the internet TV but don't want it to keep pausing like the vids on You Tube. For the amount of TV that I watch I'm satisfied enough with the disc mail ins like this.

We have digital cable and hundreds of channels. At first having the hunting and fishing channel was neat, and the military channel was cool too. But now, I find myself on the computer more than watching tv. And when i do watch TV it's mostly just the basic channels I watch anyways. I've discussed with the wife about cutting it, and just going with basic and the internet, but she's hooked on the DVR thing now and I doubt I'll change her mind anytime soon.

We don't have T.V. We just use Netflix and it works perfectly for us. It's only around $10 a month and they have tons of stuff to watch. As far as getting the news and weather, I just get on the computer.

I did not realize so many people could not get TV service or did not want it.

Looking for ways to cut cost and to be free from payments

[yankee]

I understand what you are saying. I just did not realize so many people felt the same way about TV.

TV is too captivating. When I had TV reception, be it cable or whatnot, I wasted a lot of time sitting through bulls**t programs. I'd watch a show and then some other lame flick would come on and there'd be some big titted tartlett appear on the screen and since I was already cozy in my chair with my cheetos, I'd figure, what the hell... I'll see what this is all about. Before I knew it - it was bed time and I been farting into the same couch cushion for the last 4 hours.

With cable and all that I waste too much money paying for stuff I don't really want to watch. The Netflcks plan gives me what I want without the added bullpoopy ;D
And that's all I have to say about that.

Gentlemen,

I love digital TV.
I don't have it but since it started when I turn on my TV now,
I don't have commercials and old 'I love Lucy' and 'Hogan's Hero's' reruns. I watched TV all my life and can't eat my dinner without something on TV to watch, I'd starve without TV!
The only televised entertainment I have is VCR's and DVD's.
Old movies I memorized 27 years ago like:
'Siege of Firebase Gloria'. I watched that one again today.

Utube is great for cooking shows whether it is BBQ Brisket, Mexican food, or Pizza. It takes a long time to download them however. German language tapes which could be bought on CD's are on my list, I had some but floppys went out of style.
Interesting stuff on military channel, discovery, and history, and my friend from 7th grade had cable but the cost of gas to drive over there more than once a month is prohibitive.

I have 13 old movies marked for purchase:

If you liked War Kill
you will like the Steel Claw
and you can't beat the price

I've had satellite tv & cable. One thing that I have noticed is that the more channels I have, the less I watch.
With all of the bad stuff that we see on tv both on the news channels and the pay channels, I find that I dont even like to watch it anymore. If I wasnt married & have kids, I wouldnt even own a tv!
