Information Wars being won "Broadcasters worry about 'Zero TV' homes"

[evilfunnystuff]

I'm interested in exploring doing this myself. How do you do it? What replaced it?

For the non-geek I'd recomend Netflix, or Amazon Prime both stream instant video on demand commercial free, lots of movies and series I believe both offer a free month trail with no charge. With prime you also get free ups 3 day shipping for anything you order on amazon. There are things like hulu also but i refuse to pay for somethin with commercials.

If your a geek and tech inclined look into bit-torrent, and a vpn.

Your computer should be able to hook up to most any reasonably modern tv through HDMI or VGA. If you need help with that I could dig up a tutorial or somethin. Dont overpay for cords thiugh you can get em for 5 bux on ebay or newegg etc.

With the money you save on the cable in 1 year you could get 1 or 2 new chromebook laptops a netflix subscription [like 9 bux a month] and still have saved hundreds and be able to enjoy your video without commercials on your own schedule.

Torrents are illegal and should not be downloaded by anyone.

This is a tragedy. Everyone needs to have access to affordable television. It would be cheaper if only everyone subscribed to a provider. Perhaps Obama and the Democrats can get together with the major networks and come up with a national television plan so that everyone will get TV? Employers should pay for it, and others will be mandated to sign up with a provider or face fines or jail time. It will bring down costs.

All of our problems will be solved. A perfect public/private solution to the tragedy of people without television.

Not yet.

Then again, I follow all laws and would never consider downloading a movie.

Netflix isn't bad. Watched that movie 'The Devil's Double' about Uday Hussein (Saddam Hussein's eldest son) and the man who was forced to be his body double the other day. Was pretty historically accurate from what I know on the subject.

Pretty graphic so I wouldn't recommend watching it around the kids.

Torrents are a legitimate form of decentralized file sharing. The content they share is "Illegal"

Even actors in TV shows themselves are pleading "do not watch" their TV shows lol
