I haven't had any trouble with the player, in fact I like it because it shows pretty good quality even when on full screen. But maybe shows other than Heroes are crappy on it.. dunno..

This might sound like a stupid question, but why don't any of you watch these shows on a television, you know, the way it was intended ?

I watch heroes online because I only just found out about the show, and on TV they are currently showing season 2 only, and that once a week. Duuuuh.

As for Heroes, I work on Monday nights, so it's either record it via VHS (and have to take time to fast-forward through commercials), or watch it on the computer. As for some of my other shoes, I don't have cartoon network....

And, I also use DivX. You can usually find more clear videos/shows through that.

These shows don't run on my television

Sweet I just discovered that the brand new mp3 player I bought is also a Tivo ...though...I don't watch any shows on TV, so that's sorta pointless. But at least I can stream movies from my PC straight to my TV now, that's pretty badass.

Oh, and I never used tvlinks for the TV shows, I used it for the collection of hundreds of movies it had!

NOOO!!! TV LINKS!!!

Damn the anti-Piracy... Greedy bastards want the money they make...

Seriously though... that sucks.

Motion pictures - sure but why TV shows that are already free, broadcast on public TV channels?

Please tell me if I've missed something, but it sounds to me like you're saying public channels could just as well make money if they allowed people to download shows off their site as making people watch it on their network.

They have to get people to watch it on their station so they can have ratings. The more ratings, the higher advertisers will have to pay to put their add in during a program. Advertisements are what drive the TV industry and if everyone were watching them without advertisements like they are on these sites, the networks will have less ratings. Therefore, the networks don't get as much money.

BBC doesn't have adverts. They rely on licence money.

Anyway for those trying to watch Heroes you can here

I used to watch tv-links because I'm not in the U.S. so there is no possibiliity to watch these tv shows in Japan...That and why watch it live on the networks time schedule with commercials when you can download, pause, import into iPods, and watch it on trains and the like whenever you please?

Do you really need to ask why? C'mon now...ef helping them sell auditing shares... let them do more product placement, or work on selling special edition DVD box sets if they want their meaningless money that badly.

i got loads of them PM ME ill give them too you
