You can watch 60 minutes, even captain kangarooo!

Most of the television, movies, and video I now get online. I can finally choose from a large selection of programs thanks to newer online video sites. Most of my television show viewing is now done from Hulu. I think it's funny when at the start of the show they have the message to tune in at such and such a time on some channel that I don't get. Don't they know if you use Hulu, watching television shows after they air is better than watching live or dealing with maintaining your own DVR service.

I also watch video podcasts using Miro. Miro has a guide to new podcasts and just came out with version 2.0 too! There are many podcasts that are technology and science related that I enjoy watching. This is a niche that would probably never make it on a broadcast tv station, and having it as a podcast can reach a global audience. One can also subscribe to youtube channels just as if they were regular podcasts, which makes it easy to keep up with them.

I've also started watching some academic lectures at academicearth.org - this site combined the open course videos that are available from top universities in an easy to navigate form. And you get a front row seat all the time, which is not really possible if you attended the class in person.

Some of the places I get shows from are:
Hulu - has many tv shows, only slightly delayed
Miro - internet video player with a built-in podcast guide
Academic Earth - watch online courses tuition free
Top Gear - top gear car videos
Revision3 - internet tv shows like tekzilla
A-Z of Bushcraft & Survival - actual survival information, not bear grylls doing the most dangerous thing they can think of.

You'll be able to download or stream many of the shows you watch now, and more will be available every day. Some content producers may have a subscription, but I think that will be pretty rare except for things that have enormous costs involved like mega-dollar sports teams. Some day having a subscription tv service will seem as quaint as having a landline dialtone service. You have gotten rid of your landline dialtone haven't you?
