  1. Don't forget Bittorrent! by exhilaration · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can get most popular shows via BitTorrent. Check out this great site for a listing. And check out Azureus if you're looking for a great client!

  2. Use of new technology for old technology by binaryDigit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I find it highly amusing that old technology is used to support new technology which is then used to supply the features of old technologies. Case 1, telephones. POTS lines are used to carry modem traffic which is now used to carry voip (i.e. telephone) traffic. Cable lines are used to carry ip traffic which is now being utilized to receive tv. Gotta luv it.

  3. Re:Quality? by hrbrmstr · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am amazed to see the words "quality" and "TV" used in the same sentence.

    HDTV presentation of crap is still crap.
