AOLs online tv shows - HedCold - 03-15-2006
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://television.aol.com/in2tv">http://television.aol.com/in2tv</a><!-- m -->
AOL finally launched their free tv service. i'm watching an episode of growing pains right now and its pretty sweet. few things though
1. need to use windows xp
2. need to use IE 6
3. need to have media player 10
then some aol plug in installs. i'm sure if theres something weird going on with the plug in people will be bitching about it in a few days
anyway, i'm getting my full bandwidth dl (5 Mb/sec) and you can start watching before it fully downloads.
there doesn't seem to be any ads in the show yet, i'm 7 1/2 minutes in
i hope this leads to other companies doing the same thing, i don't mind watching something streaming and possible with ads as long as its free and easy to use, and decently quality, which this is

well its pretty simple to find the file downloaded to the computer. i wonder how long until someone figures out how to crack the DRM

I'm amazed that one of the first things you went for was an episode of Growing Pains.
- HedCold - 03-15-2006
its one of the first ones they advertised. i went to get the head of the class pilot to but it didn't seem to work

64mb of ram and windows 98 aint gonna cut, I feel left out.
- Goatweed - 03-15-2006
unless they show Silver Spoons, I'm not interested.
- GonzoStyle - 03-15-2006
remind you of your childhood.
- Goatweed - 03-15-2006
yep, especially when my uncle used to eat my ass with a silver spoon.
GET IT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
- GonzoStyle - 03-15-2006
that's sad
- Goatweed - 03-15-2006
whats sadder is we were poor, so the spoon was really stainless steel.
- GonzoStyle - 03-15-2006
I meant sad for your uncle, having to scrounge around in your awful asshole!
- Goatweed - 03-15-2006
yeah, all that shit caked on it and whatnot. poor fella.
