Anyone watch shows only via the internet?

I have been watching several the last few months including the Hitchhiker, and Dallas amongst other along with Dennis the Menace.

Also I discovered a site that has alot of older show, and i have been watching others like the Great Gildersleave and Pete and Glayds on Youtube.

Yeah, I've watched some episodes of Murphy Brown on Youtube which isn't currently on tv in my area. And I sometimes watch The Addams Family on hulu. It's nice to have other options for viewing tv shows.

Yes, I watch a lot of current shows on either Hulu or a few other sites with episodes of shows that are not on Hulu.

I bought a 2nd roku now and have access to 100's if not 1000's of series and movies along with access to Amazon on demand, Hulu, and Netflix. Basically you just need a roku a computer and a wireless router to enjoy tons of stuff on internet tv.

I'm going to put the Sat on hiatus for 6 months and will hopefully make that perminent next spring

The majority of my TV viewing is online. I like shows that are not readily accessible, especially the old horror anthology series like Thriller, Hammer House of Horror, Darkroom, etc. and many are available at YouTube to watch.

I only watch the OFFICE on the internet because the episode is longer on hulu.com

I think youtube is just good for Memorable TV Moments where you can see lots and lots of clips.

I don't watch tv on or via the internet because I do not like viewing programs on a computer.Maybe I'm old fashioned but I just still want to turn on the television and have something good to watch.That Roku thing though sounds a little interesting if you can view good programs on the tv set.

TimOhara123 · 11-06-2011, 04:03 PM

Lunch you don't need to view it just on the computer, you can get a streaming device and watch it thru your TV nowadays

ANd how does someone set that up if they have a HD Flat screen?

tiredmike59 · 11-06-2011, 04:42 PM

What's a ROKU? How do they hook up and how much do they cost ?

TimOhara123 · 11-07-2011, 01:21 AM

Roku is a streaming device that streams netflix, Hulu, Amazon video and many others.

Price depends on which one you get, they have standard definition rokus for as low as 50 bucks and HD ones for around 100 bucks.

Also there are private channels that you can load that give you access to 1000's of shows and movies.

I agree. I have discovered all the old soaps on youtube, including ones from the 50's and 60's. I've also seen a lot of the old game shows like Concentration, Match Game, 25,000 Pyramid game, and Jeopardy. I wish they would put this stuff on a best of DVD release.

If I decide on this, I will never get out of my chair. Many shows you mentioned I would like to see.

comedyfreak · 11-10-2011, 06:57 AM

The day I discovered those shows I stayed up all day to the evening viewing them after working the graveyard shift. No sleep that day, lol.
