What is America Watching?

Posted On 1/13/2010 09:50:00 AM by Jered Schneider | View Comments


Netflix has changed the way America watches movies. But are you ever curious what people are watching in your city? The New York Times answered that question for a dozen cities across the US, showing us what people were renting by neighborhood (and also what they weren't renting).

It's cool to see how the tastes change across different cities, and even across neighborhoods. Take a peek into the Netflix queues of America HERE

How To Ditch Cable And Move To Online TV

Posted On 11/24/2009 01:30:00 AM by Jered Schneider | View Comments



I have been debating for a while now on whether or not to ditch my cable. I watch most shows online (Hulu mostly), and I felt like I was wasting money paying for cable when I was already watching most shows online for free.But I get bothered that there are still many shows that I can't catch online, and they are not on my local cable. I tossed around the idea of satalite, but I just don't want to pay monthly for it. So I have decided to make the jump completely online. Here is my guide so you can to.

How to ditch cable and move to online TV

Connect PC to TV-First, make sure you have a television that you can connect to your computer. It sucks sitting across the room on your couch squinting at your 13in laptop screen. Most newer TV's have HDMI or at least VGA or VMI. If you don't know what that mean, check out easy to use guide to getting connected.


Get a media center-After that, I recommend that you download Boxee. Boxee is a media center for your PC/Mac that acts as a set-top box for browsing online video. It aggregates almost any show that you would ever want to watch online. It's Hulu feeds are what make it really great, as you can easily browse all that Hulu has to offer from the same program via remote!

Get the hard to find channels-I wanted to be able to get all the channels that I can not get with other online offerings. Satelitte Direct is an excellent option that has over 3500 channels from all over the world. It is super easy to set up and I love it. And the one time fee cost me less than one month of my cable bill. 

I am now cable free, and watching my shows on demand on any channel I could ever think of.  And I am doing all of it for basically free (beside the Satellite Direct one time fee). I am a week in and I am already wondering why I didn't do this a long time ago.

Are any of you doing this now? If so, what are you using?

Larry King Live: This Gets Akward

Posted On 11/13/2009 12:11:00 AM by Jered Schneider | View Comments




Larry King had former Miss Califorina Carrie Prejean on his show last night, and things got awkward. Here is a little setup: Prejean is the former Miss California USA 2009, and Miss USA 2009 first runner-up. She gained nationwide attention over her answer to a question about same-sex marriage. Prejean was dethroned on June 10, 2009, allegedly for continued breach of contract. Prejean called those claims false, and filed a libel suit alleging that she has been discriminated against due to her religious views. Pageant officials countersued and demanded Prejean to repay the money spent for her breast implants. The legal battle between Prejean and the pageant officials was later settled out of court on November 3, 2009 following the revelation of a sex tape involving Prejean (Wikipedia)

Boxee Finally Going To Beta

Posted On 11/06/2009 04:24:00 PM by Jered Schneider | View Comments


Boxee has become the leader in desktop media centers, and it is still only in its alpha stage. Unreal. On December 7th, Boxee will be offically moving into Beta.


The Beta will feature:
  • new user interface
  • improved navigation
  • search TV Shows and Movies
  • a user controlled Queue
  • shortcuts
  • more…
I am excited about more intuative navigation, improved UI, and improved stability. But I really could not complain too much about an app that was only in alpha.

For more on the release, check out the Boxee Blog
