I have a laptop with a digital transformer cable to my tv. It just duplicates my computer screen on the tv. I have all the free sites like project free tv and solarmovie bookmarked. They have up to date stuff, movies still in the theatres. I don’t buy anything or subscribe to any Netflix, Hulu, etc.
It is all streaming so now downloading etc.
Hulu has a free side, it still got some good stuff. There are some Youtube channels like westerns and John Wayne, horror movies, classic-TV and such like James Burke that are always worth watching again.
I watch subtitled Korean (among other foreign) shows at DramaFever. Having those on the big TV is always cool.
