Actually you are too late for the good old days of music downloads. The viruses and the jerks have taken over and it's too risky now to download without paying a fee. Also our awaremess of what constitutes "intellectual property" has become more clarified, and well it's not nice tos teal something that someone is selling for money. There are many sites, some you pay a fee for unlimited downloads and others you pay by the album or the song. Find somewhere that has the kind of music you like, join the program, send your fees via PayPal and you are in business. The file sharing programs were fun but are also very dangerous....think of it as STD for computers! You upolad your infected file, I down load it and infect all my files and then I upload it and there you go. Soon a huge percentage of the files are infected. It works much like a photo sharing site like Flicker or photobucket. Linda C

When I did my search (for watching TV online) I only glanced at the titles of threads in the results and figured 'watching movies on laptop" would not have what I was looking for. I should have known I'd be wrong. Anyway, thanks for the response to my other thread. I won't bother repeating my thanks there. I'll just let it die a slow death. :-D Scott ....slinking back into lurkdom where I belong....

Mayflowers, I felt that way about Longmire at first, too, when comparing it to Justified. I decided to accept the fact that it was an hour-long procedural first with season-long story arcs second. And I don't know that the casting is poor as much as the writing and character development isn't as deep as on Justified. But I stuck with it and really got to like it. Of course it's filmed near me, so maybe I have a local bias. On that note if anyone is a sic fi fan, consider Battlestar Galactica (2003). It stars Katee Sackhoff (Vic on Longmire) among others.

Just a thought: I was having trouble using my VUDU Account on my Smart TV in my Bedroom. My wife uses Netflix all the time in there and the one time I try to watch a movie from my VUDU account it would run for 30 seconds and then the screen would go Green (also pixelated). After many hours of trying to figure out what the problem was, I figured out that the Software had been up dated to Accommodate HDX and the TV was only able to play the movies in HD or SD. I wondering if Netflix has a feature where you could adjust the picture resolution like in VUDU. You could then try it at a lower setting. I do have Netflix but have never had any problems. But it may be worth a looking into.
