I don't watch TV at all, the shows I do watch are downloaded and played on my PC. Occasionally I watch live video streams of sports events.

I tried that before, hooked up the cable to my ATI Tv Wonder Pro and the picture quality was horrible. It seemed like less trouble to download an HDTV rip of whatever show I wanted to watch.

MrSpock2002 is an unknown quantity at this point
I have a good sight that I like to go to and stream some of the older shows like old eps of sg1, and atlantis. As for the newer shows, I watch Boston Legal, SG Atlantis, SG SG1, BSG, and Supernatural. If I miss them on tv, I normally grab the torrent for them a few hours after they air. So yeah, pretty much all my tv watching is on the pc. I still havn't sprung for a coaxil usb jack yet..

back when I was single I was tied to my pc waaaaay more than my tv.... and would usually d/l then watch... Now that I don't have as much time available to me I can say about the only thing I watch is an occasionnal funny video on utube an whatnot.... oh yea and maybe a movie at netflix as well although their online selection truly sucks

No multiple choice poll?

I only watch TV on my PC, I don't own an actual TV.

I don't actually watch downloaded programs on my monitor, that would suck. I've got my PC hooked up to my home theatre so it's not inconvenient.

Well I thought i'd give it a try so invested in a halfprice Hauppauge TV stick.....and i'll leave it there. In fact no i'll warn you now, you'll become firm friends with the reset button. I've never had a program cause as many lock-ups or crashes. On top of that, no matter what aerial I try boosted or not I only get half a dozen workable channels at a time. In a final ditch attempt this weekend im gonna run an extension from my Sky TV box.

To answer the question of the thread: Yes.
But none of the poll options fit.
