Congratulations, Catrin. You can watch shows online, including HGTV. I watched a great House Hunters International episode last night online. It may not be the most current episode, but I don't know that, so who cares?
I watch the occasional L&O/House/Bones on Hulu, and the other night I watched The Way We Were on crackle.com.
I have not had true TV in years. I knit and listen to Old Time Radio alot. And read. It's much more satisfying than TV in my opinion. When I do want to veg out in front of a TV, I watch it online. But I normally have better things to do.
Last year, for the TdF, I subscribed to Versus online coverage for something like $30. It sure beats the price of cable all year long.
