Re: Tech Savvy

While I agree that watching tv episodes in flash is really lame... I don't think that's what he was refering to. I download almost ALL of the shows we watch... and I download them as 720p HDTV. Fringe, Lost, Breaking Bad, Stargate Universe, Dexter, Big Bang Theory... and whatever else we miss.

With RSS feeds they download automaticially... so If it was on TV... I have it (almost like a tivo setup )

The computer in the living room is connected to the TV with a HDMI cable. When we are watching a downloaded tv show... you can't tell it isn't live tv unless you pause it... the quality is the same.

As for navigating some file tree... We bought a $20 windows home cinema remote and IR dongle. No fiddlin around with a mouse or constantly having to get up and pick the next show. XBMC from XBMC.org is an awesome addition to any home cinema.

do tell, is what you are doing legal? I mean it is someone's livelihood you are dealing with, I am all for knocking of all the large bills but if someone pirated the software that my company wrote then I would be out of a job.

*shrugs* Most of the shows are available on the TV that we pay for... but with work / life you can't always be around to watch them.

We don't have a PVR... but the result is the same.

Still interested. I have thought about dropping my TV bill. But Hulu quality is just not there for HD. I want my 720P!
