<VV> Corvairs on TV & New Computer TV technology (NO Corvair content)

[Russ Moorhouse]

Hulu is Great and the best part is it's free!!  They even have movies you 
can watch - free.

For some reason CBS tends to keep their shows to themselves, so you have to 
go to their site, but the lack of ads are great.  I have a widescreen 
monitor, 6.1 sound and that's all we watch anymore, as far as the shows we 
do watch.

All the networks are going this way, TV land, USA, and some of the PBS 
shows.  CBS has some of their old shows on, that haven't carried over to 
Hulu yet.  I've been watching one or two "Have Gun - Will Travel" a night. 
It's amazing seeing people who went on to be big stars, when they were 
nobodies.

We dropped cable five years ago, when we realized how little we were 
watching it. We're not big on TV and nor into sports. We do like NCIS and I 
like Numbers.  I did miss not getting Monk that was on USA, but now HULU has 
the new shows and the some of the old ones, and I have got hooked on Burn 
Notice, mostly to see how off-base they are about spies and my place of 
employment.

I also have an HDTV card installed in my computer, so I can watch the over 
the air local DTV/HDTV channels (or cable if you have it) which I'm getting 
32 channels of.  I recorded a lot of sewing/quilting shows for my wife with 
it.  All I have to do is click on the show I want to record and the card 
will turn the computer on, record the show and then turn off the computer. 
I end up with a small file I can burn to a DVD along with other recorded 
files and she can watch them whenever she wants.

as an adjunct to the Corvair sightings on TV recording shows, TiVO, etc; for 
all you tech savvy high speed internet types, hulu.com is great website that 
has many tv shows both from cable and regular channels. If you miss 
something on your boob tube you can pick it up there. Its a joint venture 
between News Corp and ABC or NBC (and remember which on the latter). I like 
it because its on-demand, the commercials are boiled to a simmer, and a one 
hour show can be seen in 40-45 minutes, and all you gotta do is search and 
watch, no fussing with digital recordings and the like sort.
