Consider Internet TV. We use a Roku streaming video box hooked to our TV and watch movies, documentaries, MLB games and a host of other things. Subscription costs are relatively cheap less than $10 per month. If your TV has a good quality sound system Internet radio stations are generally free and offer a variety you won’t find from local broadcasts.
We are rural and satellite is our only option for TV. What it comes down to is we only watch HGTV and some old sitcom reruns. Pretty much given up on the news channels as the internet is a far better resource.
The only issue with getting feeds via the internet (I think) is that our “high speed” connection is often less than high speed. Watching YouTube videos is often a challenge.
With internet TV access or a ROKU (sp?) box, do they in anyway buffer or store to eliminate the stop/start issues we see with streaming video?
