    Why do people pay for these shows when they can easily watch them for free? Sorry $1.99 is too much for me just to get rid of commercials when I can find the stuff online for free with a little searching. Hell I don't even miss football games unless I am rolling at the actual time of the game.

    You can already stream all of the movies and TV you want from Netflix for $8.99 a month.

    PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE you're thinking inside the box, you're truckers so legality is a gray area.

    Amazon already offers just about every tv show for $1.99. You can also watch most shows on Hulu for free. Some are on a 1 week delay but a lot of them are not. There are also other ways to get the shows for free but it requires a lot of bandwith.

    They are up to 15,000 titles now streaming. There is an "Instant Watch Tracker" site that a guy made so that you can search them all and see also what is coming online soon too. You have to have a NetFlix account to watch them of course, but this is a really slick site to see what is available here: http://www.thenowhereman.com/netflix/

    I have no affiliation with Netflix or the tracker site - just passing on a tip. But we do like our Netflix around here as one way to get TV and movies at home and on the road.
     
    Baack Thanks this.
