I highly recommend this. I've been watching my 'exempt' shows on my laptop for over a year. I'm not quite sure if i will ever have a TV again.
- edw519 17y ago"I've been watching my 'exempt' shows on my laptop for over a year" I thought about this, but for me, this doesn't count. Even if the screen is part of a computer, it is still a "TV". Separating my dev and internet machines has made this a moot point.
- Femur 17y agoThis is a really good point; I hadn't considered that view. So on your internet machine, do you consider 'mindless internet surfing' watching TV? I also keep my work and internet machines separate.

- whughes 17y agoHulu is fundamentally a different video experience than a TV, though. Rather than passively watching channels and killing time, you're actively seeking out only your 'exempt' shows. It's a lot harder to fall into the couch potato trap.
