I'm researching how I will access GBTV and was wondering about how Freepers will do it. I have a laptop next to my TV to watch movies and listen to music and radio, but was looking at ROKU. I don't think I'm ready to cut my satellite, but am interested in what others are doing. The simple thing would be to just use the laptop, but a remote control is appealing and I'm going to lose the option of recording with my DVR. I would like to record it and watch it at my leisure with the ability to stop it and start it.

I’m going to try the cheaper subscription to start with once he gets things up and running. I’ll probably just watch here on the puter.

We dumped satellite about 3 years ago (best decision we ever made) We live on Netflix by mail now as our ISP doesn't offer the speed required to download video. I never thought we'd consider signing back up for satellite but a channel devoted to the Packers is tempting...:{)

But seriously, what is GBTV?

I haven’t a clue yet, but I’m thinking podcasts.

“Glenn Beck TV.” I googled it.

And to answer the question, I won’t. Nothing against Mr. Beck, but I could watch all those seasons of “Stargate” on DVD again.

Will there be a free version of GBTV? If not, I’ll wait for someone to rip and post episodes elsewhere ... or just wait for someone to post excerpts here.

The same way I do everyday.

On my puter.

Ah yes, thanks. He’s great but I’m in the choir...and silence is golden here in the boonies.

If he has a TV/Blueray app I’ll watch it. He has to make sure watching his GBTV is as convenient as possible like Hulu, like Netflix, like Cinemanow, like Vudu etc. It isn’t like there isn’t many many examples of how to do it right otherwise it will probably fail. I don’t want it to fail because I think it is a great idea but unless he wants a very narrow audience he needs to make sure GBTV is accessible on as many platforms as possible from Smartphones to TVs.

I dropped sat and now have extreme membership.

Next on list is monthly sub to FR. :)

The problems with my plan will be gov controlling the net and radical DOS attacks. :(

Yeah man...Ditched sat ourselves few months back and do the netflix thing as well.

I'm not real happy about them splitting out their plans now; so I just might be media free altogether. Since being without sat/cable for a while now, "TV" and the stations people fork out a good chunk of change for truly seems worthless at this point.

I won’t, either. I think Beck just crazied himself out of a golden opportunity at Fox and now has cast himself so far afield that he is going to wither on the vine.

I won’t. I lost all confidence in Beck’s intellectual honesty the day he spent an hour mocking birthers with the dishonest argument that the only reason anyone could have had for falsifying the birth records was a plan to put Baby Obama in the White House someday. I knew at that moment that he was intellectually and morally corrupt.

I couldn’t agree more. We were spending a not insignificant amount to pipe mostly leftist propaganda into our home. Your blood pressure changes to provide a level of happiness that you had forgotten existed. Your spouse doesn’t yell at you to turn it down...after the start of every commercial that broadcasts at three times normal loudness to get your attention. When the tube is off (and not tempting) much more gets done, life becomes placid again. (that last may only occur in country folk...city folk think quite differently as a rule. In my early family there were two city folks and two country folks)

Howdy CC!

Being the old married man I am, I will have to clear this with Mrs Sparky first. I’ll find some way to convince her.
