TV and Movies
Josh and I don’t have cable. I’ve stated this a number of times. We have cable internet, but we really don’t watch all that much television. The only cable show we watch is Mythbusters. We can watch that via the internet. Everything else we watch is something we can only get online or we can get over the air.
Now, I have discovered VeohTV. I had known of hulu.com and waited for it to open. Hulu has full tv shows and full length movies available for streaming. They do play ads, but I’ve only encountered 15 second commercials. Not too bad. They have a fair number of cable shows too. Cable, who needs stinkin’ cable.
Veoh allows you to play hulu shows and movies as well as other video. They have channels to sort through it all as well as search. Veoh hosts videos like YouTube does. I happened across Veoh while looking for Voyagers episodes. Kris, they have them. I watched (and then downloaded) Worlds Apart! The quality isn’t that good, but apparently the person that posted them took them from a tape. I’m surprised it was still viewable after that many years! It looked better playing through to the TV though.
The official movies and television shows on hulu.com look good. You can embed them in web pages. You can embed certain segments of the show or movie as well. For those times you want to say, WTF? I haven’t tried to download any other videos other than the one Voyagers episode. That was hosted on Veoh, so you might not be able to get the hulu ones.
Well, I must go now. There is a brush fire down the road. It is supposed to be under control, but I’m still going to see what is going on.

Oh. My. God. I kept waiting for it to tell me that it wasn’t available in Australia… and then it started playing! Those credits are amazing. So, so familiar, yet at the same time so very strange. Man, we watched weird stuff in the 80’s.

Just think of the After School Specials we used to watch. Eeek.
I’m hoping that my library gets it on dvd. I really can’t justify buying it, but I’d love to see if there is anything extra on the dvd.
