24 things Week 10 [Part 1]: Watching TV online


View the major TV network sites. How does each make their shows available? Which is the most open and accessible?

Fox- Click watch full episode button in the upper left corner and choose a show.
NBC- Click watch full episode button then choose a show. On my home computer the NBC show took longer to load than Fox show.
ABC- Click on screen shots of the shows available. On my home computer the ABC show was the fastest to load.
CBS- The site was a little harder to navigate than the three previous sites but CBS offered TV classics. I was able to watch an old episode of Twin Peaks. Cool!
PBS- By far the hardest site to navigate and the worst video quality.

Review two Internet TV distributors. Which site to you recommend and why?

Hulu- Easy to use and a nice vary of shows.
BBC iPlayer- I tried to watch a show on the BBC iPlayer site and I got this message “BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK”

I recommend Hulu, my friends and family use it all the time.

Look for your favorite shows online using search engines or online directories. Recommend a show to your blog readers.

Clicker - I explored the Clicker online search engine site. A feature on the site I really like is the Netflix listings. I recommend watching the 5 minute webisodes that recap each week’s episode of Lost.

Lost - LOST Untangled - ABC.com
