Now if I miss a television show I can watch it online on NBC's website I think this is awesome now I can forget about TV scheduling and there are very few adds I think this is awesome I watched the bionic women episode before I went to school because I missed it.

Do you think this is a good idea?
I do!

I think it's a great idea! Comedy Central does the same thing - you can watch the last few days of The Daily Show and Colbert Report.

I have had DVR service for a few years and forgot about network program times when I got it. I watch what I want to when I want to, rewind live tv, fast forward through commercials. The only part that sucks is if I'm at some one else's house that doesn't have it

As an alternative to DVR, watching on a website is a great idea. I guess it would depend on the show what my preference would be. If it was something I wanted to watch with other people I would probably prefer the DVR.

Great idea. I like watching programs when I want and sometimes it's nice to see them on a computer.

I dont have a DVR yet, so I reaaaaalllly like that they are putting the shows online. I watched "Chuck" the other night online. I wanted to see it, but I have class when it comes on. I hope more and more networks will start doing this. I wonder if they are doing this to deter people from posting the shows at places like youtube? If they know people are going to watch them online anyway, why not get the viewers to go to the network's site (with their own ads and all).

Completely useless because it's only available to Americans

What isn't the Internet available in all countries?

I think this is a great idea and i can see that soon all television stations will be aired through internet and broadband lines. already in the uk you can get sky television with thousands of channels through your internet line on your tv. i have it in my house, and the service is great!

If you are outside the US you can't watch the shows; you get a message saying it's only available in "some locations".

Really try a proxy that should make it work.

**Christopher** · 10-05-2007, 07:55 AM

Yeah that works. But proxies are slowwwwwww. I need to go through use my vps just to get decent speeds

I wonder what the ad revenue is for online versus broadcast? I'm sure it's still a wide gap, but I wonder if it's narrowing...

Well i was eager to watch the second season of heroes in the net. But unfortunately the clip is available only in US . Hope they will telecast it in India also.
