Default How often do you visit Internet TV websites?

With the growing popularity of Internet TV sites such as Hulu.com and Joost (just to name two of the best known ones), many people are watching episodes of such shows as 24, Medium, and even the old Star Trek TV series on the Web.

My question is, how often do you visit Internet TV sites? Do you prefer the free sites or the premium ones where you pay a small per-episode fee? Is it better than watching "regular TV"?

Until they provide necessary accommodation for the hearing impaired, it is as if those sites don't exist for us.

Visiting such sites would require high speed internet, which (although may be unbelievable to many people) is still unavailable to millions of people in many parts of the US.

I'm lucky to get a youtube to load.

I dont frequent them, but I might set up a system so that I can view on the TV, then I would, use them more frequently.

Speaking of high speed interenet. Why doesnt this country have the highest internet speeds in the world? Japan and Korea and others blow us away. This is disconcerting, as I kinda know the reason.

Some countries are more technologically advanced than the US.

Can't imagine ever going back to dialup. Have you ever checked into wireless through one of your local cellular companies?

I just started visiting hulu, but they don't have much up on there now. Not really worth it to me yet, so I'd say I visit maybe once a month just to see what new shows are on.

Until just now, I had never even heard of Hulu.com. I have to check that out now.
