A few real advantages I enjoy through my Internet provider’s ability to pump my favorite TV shows directly into my home via my Internet connection are the following:

• I can watch my favorite shows for free (not counting the cost of my Internet connection). Since I would subscribe to Internet service whether or not I used it to watch my favorite TV shows, however, this is simply an extra perk.

• I can watch my favorite shows whenever I choose. If I happen to be busy when the program is first broadcast, or if another family member would like to watch another TV show during the same time slot, I can simply watch my show later on the Internet. In fact, if I choose to, I can even join my family member and enjoy the benefit of watching both shows.

• My Internet provider offers secure Internet connections, which ensures that I can watch my favorite shows without the interruption of a lost connection.

• I can take advantage of a wide variety of different websites that offer my favorite shows, including hulu.com, abc.com, and others.

• I can avoid the annoying stream of commercials that TV stations broadcast ad nauseam, repeatedly interrupting my shows for several minutes at a time.

When I watch my favorite shows via Internet instead of TV, I enjoy real scheduling flexibility and convenience, picture clarity, and sound quality. Since I have DIRECTV right now, I wanted to get Wild Blue satellite internet. I heard that Wild Blue was the directv satellite internet. Wild Blue seems like good internet, but I don’t know if it is available in my area. What are your thoughts?
