Members Sylph Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 I don't like the interferences, too. I just hate watching TV on a computer screen. That's what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 So I don't get it - I feel the same way (I hate computer sound as well... much prefer my sound system). So I bought the cables to plug my laptop into my TV and receiver, and now you'd never know it's an Internet show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 You don't get what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 I didn't get this either. Because judging by what you said before, I thought you loved watching them via regular TV screen that's connected to your computer. And that you didn't notice the difference.

Members Sylph Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 She probably has more freedom with this soap than with a soap she might have had on a network - however, the person who has the money (the sponsor, the producer), that person is fully in charge. No money, no show. And that is why the writers will always get scr*wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah but at least we can avoid the Fronsian training syndrome. Plus the success of Imaginary Bitches and Dr. Horrible shows that the independents can be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm so late to the party, but I finally got to watch it, and I think I'M IN LOVE. If this aired every day on ABC after GH, I would be GLUED to my set. Fantastic job, Karen and Company. Lindze and Ari were hysterical, and got to show off some chops their respective shows have never allowed them to. I never checked to see how much time was left, nor did I ever get annoyed I was watching something on a computer screen. And I can't remember the last time I watched something on YouTube where I didn't check to see how much was left. This, I totally got swept up in. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode in a way I don't think I've anticipated anything on network soaps all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCHistory Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 I subscribed to the newsletter but still have not been granted n access code. Any ideas? I really want to watch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 About what? You mean about you griping over watching things on your computer and not on TV? I answered it already, silly... I said that I didn't get why you didn't just buy the cable to connect your computer with your TV screen/sound system to eliminate that problem. I hate watching things on my monitor (and hate my computer sound even more), but once I invested in that cable, now I love watching online content because the video's going through my television now, and the audio's going through the receiver to my surround sound. It's not in 5.1, but that's no biggie. And the quality's pretty sharp. Well, it's no worse than watching something on a VCR, and heaven knows I've still got tons of soaps on old-fashioned VHS. I gotta get those transferred some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 How much did that cable cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 It all depends on the kind of input/outputs you have on your laptop vs. your television set. If you google "connecting my laptop to my television", you should get a whole slew of Q&A pages that explain it. I ended up going with a 20 dollar cable, just because I didn't really care about quality - it was more for my sanity than anything else. If the image was a little pixelated, I wasn't going to freak out. (And truthfully, it looks no worse than anything on a VCR looks - it's not DVD quality, but it's fine) But you can go all out and get a converter box for 200 bucks or so if you really want it to look sharp. I just use the S-video cable though, because I knew my laptop and my TV both had S-video plugs, and I didn't feel like digging any deeper. One of these days, I'll have to look into getting the converter box, but right now, it doesn't really seem that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
