The Future of Media #79: Television
Television. First of all, let me state a couple of things. I have owned a widescreen HD CRT TV for over 8 years and get my programming over the air. I was ahead of the curve with HD programming and had no problems with the changeover. I used to watch a few programs on a regular basis. After the TV writer's strike, I became disaffected by TV. I now rarely watch TV, except for the occasional DVD or something like the Olympics.
I visit Hulu occasionally, just to see if there are any new programs I might be interested in viewing. The site does provide decent coverage. Some shows may be a short series and in that case may have a limited time for viewing. Viewers should be aware of such limitations so they are not caught in the middle of a series when it is rotated out. I actually found one program I liked enough to buy the DVDs.
Have I ever watched a TV show on my cell phone? Well, no, because I don't have a cell phone. Even if I did, I don't think I would want to do so. There really isn't anything out there that I am interested in watching on so small of a screen.
I do check on one YouTube user "channel" regularly, because the poster is a relative. I do not post videos to a site on a regular basis.
