He says I won't even use cable once I learn my way around. I'm still exploring the initial clue he gave me, but here it is: " Take a look at OVGuide. They have links to all the best online video sites. It is great for watching full-length free movies and TV shows. They also have links to the top rated online video game sites. It is all free with no registration required. http://www.OVGuide.com " I have found a few old favorite TV shows and just enough as an intro to want to explore further. He likes the DIVX format and I think he uses that for his DVDs. I think MPEGs and others need to be considered when browsing online collections. Example: I found the old Star Trek tng episode "Darmok" as a DIVX and played it twice for free and on demand, but didn't see how to turn off subtitles in a language that looks like but doesn't seem to be French. Have not found a free version of Blazing Saddles or other movies yet. The OVGuide is a huge portal to explore. Coments anybody?
