Wow technology has come a long way. Now we are able to pick up TV Episodes on the internet and watch them on our computers in our own time. With some computers and devices you can even watch them on your TV as well as your PC. I have my computer hooked to my TV and enjoy these extra services and many are FREE. I think one of the first I found was http://video.aol.com/ This site is easy to use and I found full length TV episodes listed alphabetically. Many sites seem to be tied into www.hulu.com and they have a lot of product there but I personally didn't find it easy to get around and find what I was looking for. www.joost.com and www.fancast.com are also a couple of sites worth mentioning. Many of the Networks are also starting to have episodes online. Just in case you missed Heroes, Lost or the Office. Even TVLand.com has a lot of the old retro programs that I enjoy.
I have a video card in my computer as well as a tuner card, these allow me to use my computer as a DVR and record programming from our Sky-Nets package to watch later. I also subscribe to Netflix and can watch streaming video from them. Netflix also makes a device for just under $100.00 that allows you to watch queued videos on your TV without a PC. We have a demonstration set up in our Showroom at Sky-View’s office.
Recently I bought a remote control that looks similar to a TV remote that controls my PC. It has mouse functions as well as Windows Media center functions. So I can sit in my easy chair and move the mouse to pause or work my PC remotely while watching Aol Video or Hulu. I got the remote on ebay for just under $20.00. My Netflix cost is under 10.00 a month and Our Sky-Nets TV package is economically stimulating. My wife doesn’t get into all of the gadget stuff but she does know how to use the Windows media center and Netflix. From everything I’m seeing on the market it won’t be long until we have a set-top box that will have an Internet connection to make it even easier to watch all of this Internet style TV. Currently I have seen wireless media players that stream content from your computer to your TV, but I think the price will need to come down before they become popular.
Happy Internet Surfing from GM Jim :)

Does this work the same way with an xbox? If you were to suggest a dvr would you use your laptop for this, or a regular dvr. Is there a certain brand that is better to work with skyview and avoid paying the subscription dues. jenbruggeman@yahoo.com
