Default Do you watch TV online ... or on TV ?

There really isn't that much on television that interests me, so I don't own one. Haven't since I was 18. But there are a few shows ( Family Guy, South Park, The Boondocks, Daily Show and Colbert Report ) I still love. I watch a lot of this on DVD, but sometimes it can be hard to find the patience to wait for them to come out.

You can watch most of Comedy Central's programming on their web site, and it's even got less commercials than the normal version. It used to be when people start talking about something ( say, The Office ) you could head to Google Video and YouTube and check it out. Now those services are turning into the same thing with different skins, and they've been ordered to remove 100,000 videos. Probably this is why YouTube is starting to share revenue with people who upload videos ( popular ones, anyway ) - they need content.

I found another site, GUBA - Enjoy, upload, and share free videos. Download hit movies and television shows., that's ... shall we say ... less stringent when it comes to copyright. And I've been finding a lot of interesting documentaries there.

Probably the next thing is to get a digital projector.

I find it useless to watch TV online. My computer is alot more uncomfortable than the couch. Plus the screen is smaller, and my sound isn't as good. If I'm on the road or traveling, then it's the laptop. But other than that, it's the TV.

Normally, people sit in chairs when they use the computer. They don't actually sit on the computer, if that's what you're doing wrong!

Yes, it really bothers me when people treat a lot as 1 word, which is 90% of the time.

Hmm... If you wanna start criticizing spelling, I think I'm the wrong person to do it on. But if that's what you want, I'm sure I can step up to the challenge.

I don't see why you posted about spelling challenges in a thread about watching TV, nor do I see why you found my post offending. I made a joke about your comparison about comfortability between a couch and a computer. If you wish to pursue this matter further, you can always PM me.
