There are even some old movies on Youtube too, amazingly
Comcast is a monopoly with every politician in their pocket.
Welly welly welly...well.
I watch the latest movies, along with classic films, war movies, etc., all for free on the internet.
These are streaming, but there are websites linked from the streaming movies that let you watch selected movies and shows, and download them if you want. (Technically, you are downloading ANYTHING you watch, and if you know how, you can ‘save’ it so you can watch it ‘offline’.)
Anyway, most of these TV shows, movies, sports, you name it... are on VEETLE.
Normally, I get to watch the latest movies the minute they hit the big screen. Sometimes the newest movies are VIDCAM captures, and the quality sucks. But eventually, they have very high quality ‘rips’ they stream.
You have to download the VEETLE PLAYER, but I haven’t had any problem with it, nor gotten any kind of malware or viruses from it.
The only two problems with bugs have come from the Animated DownLoadHelper (add on for FIREFOX) ICON and JavaScripts that want to redirect you when you try to do a GOOGLE SEARCH.
Neither of these ‘bugs’ came from any visit to VEETLE.
The website to start at, if you are interested in watching the latest movies, old movies, sci fi movies, horror films, exploitation films, just about anything you can name, and TV SHOWS, sporting events, etc. is VEETLE.COM
Do it! I did it, they lowered my fee, then forgot about the promise to raise it in 6 months, then raised it a bit after a couple of years, promising to raise it higher after three months, and again forgot about it. I’m not joking.
Try VEETLE.COM You will have to download the player to watch the movies and shows, but it is un-obstrusive and has never caused me any computer problems.
I have a 24” imac and watch everything on my computer (app to blacken entire screen.)
All the regular channels - ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and the list goes on - put up each episode on their own websites the day after the initial viewing . Works like a charm.
(I pay Charltert $30+ a month).
I like glee, I know it’s awful, but i love the musical numbers.
Price is one factor.
So are commercials — even more annoying is the in-program advertisements, many of which are animated.
Another is programming — there isn’t a single channel I’d want to watch a majority of the shows it airs, even if I don’t count those that display when I’m not available to watch (work, travel, etc).
I just watch over the air stuff. And not much of that. I spend more time over at Book City. Reading is fun.
I don’t care to watch any TV and movies these days because they are all or almost all crap. The “latest” anything doesn’t interest me
I love my ROKU. I am NOT happy that I have to buy a ROKU 2 in order to get the subtitles I was supposed to get on the original, but otherwise...
One of the most interesting things about watching Korean shows online, with subtitles, is knowing that they are filming 2 episodes a week (usually) and airing them sometimes the same week (called “Live Filming”) and you can see how cold these actors are when it’s freezing or even single digits too. Most of the cast and crew are probably paid crap too. The “Union” only comes into it when they aren’t paid at all (The Great Seer cast wasn’t paid for 2 months) apparently. Plus seeing foreign customs and stuff is always interesting.
Got any suggested viewing?
And it’s no longer possible to change channels during a commercial. No matter what channel you go to there’s a commercial running.
I had a totally different experience. They gave me a “deal” and then raised it higher than it was before. I cut out cable and phone, and have internet alone.
Half this trailer park is illegal aliens with no apparent means of support. So all I need do to see foreign customs and stuff is look out the window. PS. I hate circus music.
Do you have Internet only through Comcast? I’ve heard that is not possible.
what sites,links can you give for watching tv online?
I looked at Amazon Prime,not much worth watching ,except rentals
what bandwidth speed do you need to stream these movies?
“I do watch a lot of subtitled Korean shows online, I find them better (broadcast TV in Korea has stricter content standards, so they actually have to have a story- imagine that) than anything on American TV.”
You’ve got that right! Last year we bought a Roku and have streamed dozens of wonderful sageuks (Korean Historical dramas) through Dramafever, Hulu plus and online streaming sites. Warning, they are addictively wonderful.
