TV with just internet??

[CrnCnn]

Since being laid off last year and returning to school in July our DirecTV was one of the first luxuries to be cut. There's a great deal of television available online, not to mention you can get NetFlix for $8.99 a month and most shows are now available on DVD through them. Since the advent of the DVR we stopped watching stuff on anything except our own schedule, so don't really care about "latest and greatest" but just about entertainment at our convenience. The best part of shutting off TV is really just going without.

I know Bart used to things this way and liked it. I need to get unplugged I think.

DO IT! I've been broadcast television free for over a year, & it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I still rely heavily on the trusty PS3 & a lot of dvd rentals & "used" purchaces, but don't miss the rotting garbage coming through the flat panel AT ALL !

Besides, you can always go back...

Yup, Linda and I didn't have cable until we moved into our current house (less than 2 years ago).

So from the time I moved out of my parent's place to basically now, I have never had cable TV. IMO, cable TV is an ENORMOUS waste of money. I mean seriously, who watches The Real Housewives of NJ, Tori & Dean, Bromance and all the other HORRID crap? I like VERY little that's on cable TV, and most of it comes out on DVD or is online anyhow.

I have to say the only shows on TV that I whole heartedly enjoy are Bizarre Foods and Dirty Jobs. I do need to check out that new show called Weaponizers on Discovery. Looks right up my alley.

No you're fine to torrent...

The piratebay lost their trial but they aren't shutting down. They're appealing and it'll be around for many years to come... cut of a snake's head 5 more will pop out.

Users of pirate bay or torrent sites have nothing to worry about. We're not a target...

And it's getting better everyday... I downloaded wednesday's Ultimate Fighter in 4 minutes.

Nice!!!

torrents are my best friends =P

i use isohunt(think google, but for torrents only), you can find almost every tv show you can think of there. plus they have an https:// version of the site, so you are pretty secured. also, vuse is a great app to compliment your torrents not to mention a lot of pay to download and even free content to watch...

several years ago, i remember there was this buz of IPTV... but i dont hear to much about it these days...

lastly, ive seen this Roku Digital Video Player. my bro and i are thinking about goin halfsy on one...
