Any Free Internet TV sites with HBO?
:shrug:

I'm checking out http://www.streamick.com/ and it's real slow...

I remember someone on DU talking about a bittorrent site...

1. just use bittorrent
Edited on Tue Aug-29-06 03:04 PM by Halliburton
I always download Bill Maher and Entourage every week using Bittorrent. just be careful, HBO does track the torrents to see who is distributing the files. I've heard that some people got cease and desist letters from their ISP's threatening to cut off their internet access if they keep sharing the files. just don't seed too much of the file and you should be ok.

12. Where do you see HBO on streamrick?
Also I recommend putting the HBO material on the winmx network instead of on the bit torrent network. Winmx allows you to share anonymously.

16. To anyone doing this, the most widely available video of the first two
acts has both a problem with audio sync (especially in Act II) and also a weird satellite alert alarm thingy which pops up about a dozen times at the end of Act I. Unfortunately, I think it's the only rip available (certainly on the open torrent sites) although it is watchable. The video of Acts III & IV is fine.

2. Also while we're on the subject I need free books
does anybody have any suggestions on how I can steal books from the local book stores? I just don't feel like paying for them.

6. You mean check them out and keep them?
I don't know - when I steal a book I like a fresh one - I don't like the idea that somebody elses fingers have been all over my stolen book. I'm careful to always steal a book from the bottom of the pile or back of the shelf just to avoid that problem.

7. I don't want to do anything illegal...but as Internet TV is new and...
highly competitive, I could imagine some sites offering Free HBO for a limited time....

I want to check out the Spike Lee special...

8. Beat Me To It...
Though I prefer watching some of the outrageous game-shows they play on the other stations.

10. You don't expect that the showing times are the same as the US, do you?
Or, for that matter, the programming.
