I am like many out here on the west coast, and don't have TV anymore: We all watch what we want when we want online. In many ways, that's a great solution: people consume the content they want rather than constantly step it down, at least from a guy perspective, since I'm pretty well outvoted that way.
So on the iPhone and iPod I have done a lot of Youtube.
But is there a really good TV app where you can watch shows on the networks? The daughter watches using Hulu without a subscription, of course having a subscription means more shows. But anyway just curious what you all use.

Crackle is another free app. It doesn't play shows that are currently on, but it has a selection of sit coms and decent sony movies.

Ah OK, and perhaps I'll buy a Hulu subscription at some point. Will check out Crackle and see if they have old Discovery channel shows like Survivor Man and Dirty Jobs.
Thanks for the input.

ABC family has an app showing their current shows, and I think ABC has one like it.

Ah network specific, I'll see ifht e Military channel and Discovery Channel have one. Don't watch any family shows anymore now that the daughter has grown up past the kiddie stages.

Met flicks is another good one
You can get a free trial
It costs 8 dollars
Hulu I think is the same price

I've never used Netflix myself, but I'll sure be buying a subscription when I have the money to do so. You can watch most movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you can't actually download them, but you get unlimited streaming, which is almost as good.
