So I have a TV but no cable..
and I am working on some handcraft stuff tonite and I would love to have some TV for a distraction every now and then.
I had posted this request a while ago but it hardly got response.
Where can I find some nice high quality ( - free - ) TV online?
or just shows, documentaries.. whatever.
thx.
- oh and I got plenty of speed in the pipeline and a lot of bandwidth to waste. ;)

are you familiar with newsgroups (NNTP)? You can find almost anything in it's entirety.
if you're not, i can't really walk you through the process here, in this forum. Takes to much splainin.

I have been using this to watch my favourite TV show. Smallville!
You will need a bit torrent client, I use PTC however it is a little buggy. Do a search on google I am sure there is a better one I am just too lazy to look.
http://www.cosil.com/ptc/Supanova has audiobooks, documentaries, TV shows... EVERYTHING. Dig around its amazing. I hardly watch TV; I just download what I want to watch.

ok :)
if you're not familiar with newsgroups (NNTP) it's like a cross between email and a bulliten board. People post things into 'groups'. Groups, for instance, are things like alt.binaries.multimedia.cartoons... In such a group you would find whole cartoons. Some kind souls post them, then others (leeches like me) download them.
But it's not as simple as all that. The files are usually divided up into sections that make up an archive. So, a single cartoon, say and episode of Justice League, may be divided up into any number of sections. You can downoad all the sections and reassemble them on your machine. Then you can just watch em in a media player, or burn them as a VCD or SVCD, and watch em in your DVD-Rom or your home DVD players (not all players support VCD and SVCD playback, a good Sony will though).
There are more details than this also(I know), but you can get all kinds of tv shows, movies - sometimes before they hit the theater, images, fonts, mp3's, and yes of course whole porn movies.
Anyone who is famililar with newsgroups knows that the flap over peer-to-peer mp3 trading is a big joke, because ppl were trading mp3's in newsgroups long before Napster had a logo and have been ever since, without fearing the RIAA.
There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get past that.....
btw: have broadband.

blathering on....
you can also get apps. all the graphics programs you love can be found tin newsgroups *for educational and trial purposes only*, of course.
If you're interested you'll need a 'news reader'. Most mail clients have a news reader, but the almost always suck. My preference, for PC, is an open source app called PAN.
You'll also need access to a news server. Most ISP's have a news service, but don't advertise it. Usually, it follows a naming convention like your mail servers. For instance, if you access POP3 and SMTP (sending and recieving mail) at an address like "mail.myisp.com", it's likely you're news server is "news.myisp.com".
for more info on PAN...
