This thread has gotten off topic, but since I am the OP, I support this . Especially as I am the one who derailed it to begin with.
That said, I have never hulu'd. I've dabbled, but since it doesn't have every episode of the shows I like, it's not a viable alternative.
I have used a torrent program (eMule) to download 72-p and HD TV rips, so I will see occasional annoying in-show ads of other shows that pop up during broadcast. (does anyone else find those ads annoying and invasive, especially during a tense dramatic moment of a show?)
Anyway, Since i have not had television in over 5 years, I am making up for lost time. I have all 5 seasons of House, and catching up on 6 as it broadcasts. I love Fringe (Noble is incredible), Lie to Me (Roth is spectacular), Dollhouse is actually quite good, better than expected, Defying Gravity (hopefully they will complete the season and go for season 2), Eureka is very entertaining, as is Castle.
Not to mention shows from BBC (by BBC, I am referring to all British Television, not 'just' the BBC channel).
As for the WD box, I got a good deal on eBay, $70.99, free shipping. Brand new. 30 bucks off the new price, it's worth it to me. It'll save me on buying blank disks.
