Default Online Television

What do you think about watching TV online? I love the fact that I can watch most main programmes on Iplayer or ITVplayer. I think it's an excellent idea and will probably change TV forever. Do you think people will slowly start watching more TV online over the next decade and would you like to see SKY issue a SKYTV box that you can use on your computer to watch, record and download things onto your computer? Do you think that watching TV should be included in the official ratings?

I only like watching TV on TV. I hate waiting for things to load. Intill these iplayer ones are 100% buffer free without waiting for them to load I will not watch TV online.

Ireland don't have ITV,BBC or C4 players which drives me mad. I watch Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice on a live link cos I have no patience,lol. But it is much nicer to see them on the telly. I started watching Glee on a live link as well but it always goes wrong,probably cos there's more people watching the Glee live link than there is the Grey's one.

You can get 4OD on YouTube in Ireland. It's the business.

Computers Crash
TV does not.


I use both but
with 5 TV's
2 of which are FullHD 1080P
TV is better.


The Best TV LCD
is one with PIP
picture in picture
means your computer can fit any place on screen
and a small screen TV within it.
Or 50/50 split.

I do agree that it's nicer to watch TV on the actual Television.. but I love the freedom of being able to miss shows because you can catch up online.
