Boo TV!!! In the land of stream, instant entertainment is king!

 


Most streams are low-quality, grainy, and/or artifact-laden. There's nothing wrong with that if you don't want to pay for something better, but it's no substitute for "real" TV.

A $50 HDTV PCI card is a subsititute for "real" TV, and I use it all the time.

It's the easiest way to record shows and have Tivo functions like rewinding shows and fast forwarding through commercials.

I have a second computer monitor so I can watch TV on one and browse the web on the other.

I even hooked up some USB speakers and put them next to that monitor so I have isolated sound while watching TV and watching a Youtube vid, for example.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
