Boring Amercian T.V. anyone?

[Tommybar]

Last year my buddy hooked up a sling box (sends video over the internet to watch on your computer) to his cable network in the U.S. and he has been kind enough to let me use it here in Japan. It is like being there without the airfare.

When a friend of mine saw what I had, he wanted his own. I looked it up and found a2bTV that offers the same service I am getting from my buddy at an extra cost of $99.00. Below are links for the services.

"Yeah, hello?"
"Hi, mom. Yeah, it's GuyJean. How's everything?"
"Yeah, yeah.. I'm still in Japan.. Yeah, eating right.."
"Yeah, yeah, sure.. Anyway, can you reboot my Slingbox?"
"Yeah, it's the thing on your TV.. Just unplug it, then plug it back in...."
"Oh, great. Thanks!.."
"One more thing. Can you turn the channel to the Playboy?.."
"Great, thanks. Bye."

Hey, any expat FGs used Hulu?

Basically, you need a Slingbox or VPN from your home in the USA.

Interesting...however, just because I know how to turn on a computer and use a few of the little programs on it, doesn't mean I have any idea what a proxy server is....but...this is the information overload era...I'll Google it...muchos nachos.

Awesome! I hadn't even heard of this. That 100th episode of Family Guy is insane.

[INDENT]CBS Putting Full-Length Episodes On YouTube (CBS, GOOG)
alleyinsider.com/2008/10/10
CBS and YouTube have inked a deal to show full-length TV shows on the video site, starting out with old episodes of "Star Trek," "Beverly Hills 90210" and "MacGyver," and new episodes of "Dexter," "Californication" and "The Young And The Restless," AdAge reports.
It's the first time YouTube is putting full-length shows from a partner with any sort of regularity, according to YouTube exec Jordan Hoffner said. He also said that more partners will be announced shortly.
The videos are playing in YouTube's new Theater Viewer, which plays at a higher quality, and it's going to have pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ads - unlike other YouTube content, which only has post-rolls.
The player looks good, and CBS is making a smart move by putting its content on the most-watched video site. But note that CBS isn't making the same content available that it's giving to Hulu or other partners.[/INDENT]
