Have you watched a full episode of a TV show online on any of the following in the past week? (Check all that apply)

In the old days, we had to wait around for our favorite show to come on TV.  Then we laboriously programmed our VCRs to make sure we didn’t miss our favorite programs.  We also ran out to the local video stores to pick up movies and shows we wanted to see.  More recently, DVRs/TiVos give us more control over watching what we want when we want, and NetFlix sends videos to our homes without having to run out to the video store. 

And now, with Hulu, network websites and YouTube, it seems we have endless choices and can watch almost anything we want when we want it.  What sources do you go to online to watch TV programs?  What do you like about them, and what would you like to see improved?

Yes, on Hulu or a similar online video service (25.3%)

Yes, on a network website (i.e., NBC, ABC) (33.3%)

Yes, on a cable website (i.e., Comedy Central, TLC) (11.5%)

Yes, on YouTube (10.2%)

No, I have not watched a full TV episode online in the past week (47.5%)

    Allows me to watch when I want to watch. Also great if I want to see something again or tell someone else to watch a great program I saw.

    I remember last season my DRV went out I lost the last 5 episodes of True Blood. I thought I was going to lost it. HBO did not have them online or On Demand, so I surfed the net and finally found them. Thanks goodness.

    I utilize my DVR and also ONDemand. I use Netflix and have almost since their inception and I really like that service. At one time my cable service was disconnected and I didn't have TV for a week until it could be reconnected. Thank goodness for online. I was able to watch the shows that I had missed.

    I love being informed on what's going on around me. I am very tech savy so my laptop and blackberry are always on line.

    I almost always catch Glee on Hulu because I never get a chance to sit down and watch my regular tv before 10pm!

    i love being able to do this. TV online is the best, and to think even 10 years ago you couldnt get nearly as much TV online for free. Its great!
