Internet Killed The TV Star


So did you do it also? Did you go out and spend over $1,000 on a new flat panel LCD or Plasma TV to watch stunning HD movies and shows on? Well i did, not to long ago got a 52'' Plasma TV, and now not to my surprise am watching TV shows like 'The Office' and 'House m.d.' on Hulu.com.


I still do watch some shows on the TV, when I'm home in time or aren't doing anything, but its such a great luxury to not have to rush home just to make sure I don't miss either the beginning or end of the show or movie. Now with most cable providers putting DVR recorders on their plans, you can record up to 2 channels at a time, which is totally convenient. But still nothing better than watching it on the Internet whenever and forever.


Now with the release of Apples: Apple TV. You can download shows from iTunes on to the 'apple TV' and just plug it into your TV set and watch HD shows and movies without even turning on your cable box. Now that's something worth getting. believe me.


So the question is: Did the Internet kill the TV star?


My Answer- Maybe not as apparent right now, but i give it roughly 5 years and we will all have TV sets with Wifi or even high speed cable Internet already installed on them. Which is great, shows can stream a live feed, so no they haven't killed the TV star, but they better get on this bandwagon right now and enjoy the ride or else be left in the High Speed Dust!
