The way things have gone with TV, I don't watch a whole lot of TV these days
anyway. More and more, I've been going the "chord cutter" route, as now I no
longer have any premium TV service - I mainly watch TV over the air, and if
there's anything else I want to watch, I often stream content online. I
sometimes stream from Amazon Prime, but occasionally I use Netflix too, and
there's even some interesting stuff on YouTube. Occasionally I'll rent a movie
from RedBox as well. A while ago, I also bought PlayOn, which is a piece of
software that will allow you to watch online content on a TV from sources that
normally only allow you to watch from a computer (the way it works is that you
have to run PlayOn's software on a PC on your home network, and it takes the
stream from online and re-plays it to PlayOn client software running on a smart
TV or smart device connected to a TV). I found that there's a bunch of older
TV shows available from various sources through PlayOn.
