HULU.com has a lot of the History stuff for free. I am just starting
to find the internet TV things but there seems to be plenty. It may
eventually let me get rid of Comcast. (My connection is DSL)

Aye, there's the rub, as somebody famous once said. Around here, a
broadband connection fast enough to use for TV downloads would cost more
than a Satt dish subscription. And unless you buy a bunch of geek
hardware and figure out how to plumb it, you are watching TV on the
freaking computer. I only have 384 DSL, which is painful even for small
video downloads. And since I am outside of Ma Bell DSL area, I have to
pay twice as much to another vendor.
