Just curious, is it the picture quality, legality, or not knowing where to go...that keeps you all from watching TV, movies, and sporting events free online?

None for me. It’s the selection. And even Netflix’s selection is not that great.

It’s the content. Look, I love Hulu, and Fancast, and enjoy being able to catch episodes of many, (but not all) of my faves that I miss, because i’m out or such. But really. a lot of the shows and movies that they have are more filler, than anything I’d actually watch. Don’t get me wrong i am not about wanting to pay more for the same that I can get cheapper or free, but a lot of times free means cheap (in more ways than one) or, commercials. or illegal activities that can lead to huge legal fines. There are certain shows and movies that don’t lend themselves well to commercials. Pointy in case: Hulu recently added and old 1960’s BritTV series of the Sherlocjk holmes Miysteries, I used to watch on PBS. It’s great to see those old eopisodes, but Huluj puts commercials in them, and it just dedtroys the whole mood every time one of them comes on.

I’ve watched literally hundreds of “free” tv programs on Hulu...Heck I’ve watched close to 200 episodes of SG-! on Hulu, for whuich I am most grateful to them for. There’s no way I’d have been able to watcvh them otherwise. I’d never be able to justify over a $150 purchase for the complete series on DVD. (+the two movies that Netflix has as Instant streaming content!...That i’ll be watching sometime in January, when it’s all snowy outside, and I don’t have to worry about returning them) ;o)
