Just adding to the ‘I don’t really watch TV anymore’ pile. Haven’t turned on the television tuner for over 3 years for watching live to air TV. I have a PC based tv tuner with an excellent EPG (NPVR) which records stuff on FTA as .mpg files which can be watched as & when needed. There is a laptop which uses the telly (LCD HD) as its monitor, connected via HDMI. VLC is used to play any files on the laptop. VLC is free & plays anything – i.e. no worries about firmware updates if any new codecs come along & it’s easy enough to upgrade the laptop with more disk space etc.90% of things watched are bittorrented or downloaded via usenet (NNTP) for all the normal reasons – no ads, timely & you can watch an entire series of something without some demented tv programmer deciding the ever changing time slot & dropping series for no reason.iView shows are also downloaded with a script so they can be watched when & where wanted. I watch shows mostly with my telly twin – best friend who lives close by. We hit pause when we need to talk/comment. Neither of us do twitfacespace+ etc. – too old for all that incessant interruption – both grumpy old women. If I like a show enough I’ll order the DVDs from amazon – mostly from the UK.If there was a way of subscribing to a service which allowed me to watch what I want/when I want, I’d happily pay, but all paid for options at the moment seem incredibly crippled – do TV execs. listen to their audience or potential audience anymore?
