Finally, a studio gets it a little right. Kinda.
ABC is streaming full-length TV episodes on its website, something they should have been doing years before now, but hey, it’s alright. The quality is much poorer than regular television in much the same way as regular television is much poorer than a high quality HD rip torrent, but it’s something. And it’s on-demand, so it come when I call it.
One small problem: it’s only available in the US. Bummer. But with a little kung-fu magic of my own (open US proxy paired with ProxySwitch in Firefox), I can watch no problem. Oh you silly studios and your silly restrictions that are so easy to get around.
dan (but still… there you have it)

May 10th, 2006 at 9:48 pmHmmm I wish I could watch these shows…but I am not smart enough to even figure it out

I really should pay my ISP back so I can get internet again and get cought up on all the shows I watch on the interweb.
When I get it, I might have to ask you how exactly you got around there blocks (I usualy just use bittorrent and download my shows but if I could do it quasi legaly that would be sweet)
Peace
