Miss Your Favorite TV Show? Watch It Online

A recent trend with is really gaining steam is TV networks placing full episodes of their shows online. Many stations from the major networks (NBC, ABC, CBS) and cable networks (TNT, TBS, etc.) are putting their shows, everything from soap operas to reality series, online for you to view anytime.

The great thing about this trend is, obviously, you can watch them anytime you like and there are typically only a few commercial interruptions. The downside, however, is the quality is not the best (which is to be expected) and depending on the show, it can be several days before it is available online.

Overall, it is best to catch your show on TV (or record it) if you can, but the ability to be able to catch up with shows available online is a great option to look in to.

One more downside – most major networks only allow those with IP addresses from within their home country to access the content.
For example, most, if not all of the major players in the US allow access to only US based IP’s, Australia has a couple of sites that allow Australian access only and again the same thing goes for many networks in the UK.
In a way it makes sense to limit bandwidth to subscribers within the same country as the network, so their servers don’t crash under the load of mass global access, but it’s a pain if you’re overseas and want to watch shows you missed back home. Although, I guess you can get a Slingbox for that if you really want your shows that badly.

I would rather download them with better quality.

Just one problem…you have to watch it in blur vision on your computer monitor while seated at your desk chair.
