    Default How do you TV?

    I don't have TV. I have TV sets, but just for watching DVDs and playing video games. No cable, or even a digital converter box, which means no channels at all.

    I watch Hulu or Netflix, or download TV from torrents. I can usually get all of my favorite shows the same night they air, sometimes even before they air in my timezone.

    P.S. If anyone has a TVTorrents.com invite code, gimmie gimmie kplz. A few years ago I let my sister-in-law use it and she used all of my credits and now I am sad. ;_;

    I'm the same way, I don't have cable or a digital converter box so if I ever want to watch something I have to find it online somewhere, normally on Hulu or Megavideo.

    Where do you go to get it on the same day though? I always end up having to wait until the following day to get to see anything.

    I have a TV with cable, but I generally just watch football, House, and DVDs on it. The majority of my TV/movie watching is on my computer, through streaming or torrents.

    ISOHunt or Demonoid, mostly. TVTorrents would be splendid if my account weren't in the toilet. :/

    I have all the free to air TV channels, but mostly my TV is used for gaming or sports when it's on. Movies and TV are done through my comp.

    The image display on our ancient TV keeps expanding. Like, things on the sides are cut off. It gets worse and worse by the day. When I first bought FFXIII some things were cut off, but I could see everything fine. Now the symbols on the map legend are completely obscured, along with a letter or two of its meaning, and when I do weapon upgrading the last two digits of the EXP count for items on the right column are cut off. Sometimes we'll be watching The Daily Show or something, and we can't tell what it says under the little picture box on the top left.

    The household I currently live at has DirecTV, so when I watch TV, I use that. Most of the time. Sometimes I just watch on my computer. Usually Hulu, but sometimes I have other means, like when I want to watch Doctor Who. :3

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Try eztv.it.

    I get all of my shows online, because paying for television is a waste of money when half of the channels have nothing on them ever. I also use my brother's Netflix accounts for shows I am only slightly interested in, as well as movies I don't care about that much. I have a Hulu account for some random reason as well.

    I have a TV with cable. Most of the time I just program Tivo to record all the shows we like and then we watch them at our leisure. Stuff we can't/don't record we just find online (like HBO stuff).

    I have free TV in the dorms, though it's some weird amalgamation of channels they chose. I tend to not watch it, and when I do it is usually to watch the History Channel or something. It's mostly for gaming or watching movies, as I just am not a TV show person much anymore, even on Hulu or other sites.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Thank you for the suggestions, Bunny and Rye. <3 Ever since the loss of Ninjavideo and the bastardization of Megavideo, I have been at a loss.
