With people constantly on the go, we rarely have the time to sit down and enjoy television (some do, some just don't like myself). Maybe that is not the case at all, as some just can't afford cable or some just can't afford a television. Today, we have TiVo's and DVR's that help record television for you while you are out. Since these all get recorded, you may also choose to fast forward past commercials you wish not to see nor care about which is amazing. However, purchasing a DVR or TiVo system does come at a price at you must shell out money to purchase one of these babies. After doing some research on these DVR's, they come at a price and you are limited to a certain amount of recording space as hard drives is what drives these devices.
Who needs to purchase all these gadgets when all you need is computer and internet access? Now one can simply go on the world wide web to access your favorite television shows. One great website is called HuLu, a site which has various television shows and movies available for everyone to watch online for free. They also include HD (high definition) streaming for those of us who can afford a television that is 720p, to 1080i resolution (this is for those who who can stream online content through their computers to television or projectors). Not only can you watch you favorite shows on HuLu but many other companies have started to stream their hit shows on their websites. Missed Desperate Housewives or Grey's Anatomy? Check out ABC's website. What about HEROES? Check out NBC's website for their shows.
With this new form or new way of watching television, I think its a godsend! Its amazing and you can watch it on your own time, when you want. Because I am always busy and on the go, I can now watch my favorite shows when I can find time, sit down and relax and enjoy. The only downside of this is you are subjected to watch a commercial in-between breaks, but I guess it beats watching it on regular cable television which has A LOT of commercials. What is great about HULU is that I love how I can find most of my favorite shows on here, and they offer the HD option which impresses me. Now when finals come around, or when I need to go on a week long vacation, I don't need to ask a friend to record the show for me or to set my VCR (yea rite) anymore, now I can just go online and catch up on any of my favorite shows! YAY!

Great title for your post. You're very good at writing headlines!
I'm still looking for Roger's personal opinion in here. Everything you've said about Hulu and the TV networks is true, but it's very general. I don't get the sense that you've actually used any of them.
