i have noticed more and more that people are watching things online that they might miss because of some reason and i have started it and i really like doing it because i can stop it whenever i want and its never really a problem for me honestly, i really like going online and watching things on youtube that i can't find anywhere anymore like maybe old sports moments or things like that and i really enjoy doing that and i was just wondering if anyone else did this too, because a good many people that i know have done this and do do this from time to time... thanks for taking the time out of your day to read and review my discussion and maybe answering my discussion, i hope that you all had a great weekend and i hope that your night and the rest of the week this week is a great week for you, thanks again for taking the time!

I spent most of my free time online too. Things I like to do most is networking and blog-hopping across the NET. That done, I will usually look for tips and guides to making money online. Though I have yet to launch a full-scale mission on earning an online income. When all that bores me, then, I will watch movies online.

I do watch a lot of programs online, but mostly i watch them on BBC Iplayer. This is a legal program for people in the UK to watch BBC tv shows up to 7days after they've been shown on tv, which makes for being real handy. The BBC doesnt have adverts anyways so the shows aren't any quicker, its just the convience of watching at your own time or watching a show you missed.

I don't watch a lot of TV, so i like to watch the shows i love whenever i want to online. Sometimes sites are hard to find, but over the years i've been introduced to a few (and there aren't any downloads involved)
A lot of Network websites such as ABC,CBS,TBS,FOX and others offer full episodes of shows. I only watch when im in the mood, other than that i play my game online, blog and post here...oh yea and school. :)

I watch some thing online but find many services are restricted.
A lot of stuff is available to download as torrents, but as I live overseas I would love to be able to watch tv from the UK. BBC for example offers these services over the net but only within the UK, I have not found a reliable way to watch it from overseas - any ideas?

I don't have the time to watch nearly as many things online as I would like to, jhl. I do occasionally go on youtube or some sites to watch movie trailers. I am planning to start budgeting my time better so that I can get a chance to do more things online soon.

I love to watch things online as the Internet offers us so much to watch. There are many things that we cannot watch or see in our daily life, but the Internet has offered us a lot of sources for them.

I love watching tv shows online. I rarely watch anything on tv nowadays because I download everything off the internet. of course, if I could watch my downloads on tv, then I would just because the screen's so much bigger. I think watching online is great because there are no commercials.

yeah sometimes i watch some videos online on youbtube or some other websites. mostly i download the videos and movies with the help of youtube downloader, torrents or internet download manager rather than watching videos online. actually my net connection is bit slow and it takes time to load. so i download the videos it takes less time to me.

I don't watch much of anything, but if I do it really won't be online. If it's a TV show I'll just watch it when it's on. I don't have the patience to wait for some season to download, tolerate YouTube's crappy quality, etc. I go to my TV and watch whatever's on.
Pretty much the same thing with movies. I prefer to go to theatres to watch movies rather than the people I know who just download them. Besides the legal issues, I just don't care. I'll watch the movie in theatres, rent them later, catch them on TV (The Movie Network ftw!)... I just prefer it the old-fashioned way I guess.

I have recently started watching movies online. My daughter found a couple sites where
you can watch a movie for free. And most of the movies we have been watching are movies
that are at the theatre right now, so it is good because they are new movies.
The only problem is the sites only let you watch half the movie and then we have to
wait half an hour before we can watch the second half. But that's okay because it gives
us a break to do somethings that might need to be done at the time.
Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good mylotting day, Chris

I will watch online and do mylot at the same time. Usually I will open youtube and let it finish buffering. While youtube buffering, I will do mylot. I response as many as I can. I watch yotube after posting a few response. I also will surf net to find information about my assignment. I prefer multitasking while surfing internet. I don't like to do just one thing only at on time.

I do watch things online in daily basis. When ever i open my internet browser the first thing i type in is www.youtube.com. I watch videos of programs that i have missed, i watch movie trailers, news, gossip and many other things. I come across such videos of things which i never knew and i come to know it through youtube. And also all bollywood movies are available on a website. So I see them all online. But not hollywood movies. I was not able to search a website which have hollywood movies in it. So watching videos online is one of my major concerns online

i like to watch things on the internet because if you miss something important and all of your friends are talking about u want to be in the group for a little bit. also if you start watching a show and its already in a season it nice to know what is happening because u may get lost at one point. i usally use it to learn new basketball moves to increase my skill level. using the internet to find videos is reall good i would reccomend it to everyone.
