We have a wireless mouse and keyboard as well as having everything set up to remotely connect and control everything from our laptops and my iPod. I love it to catch up on old movies I never saw and my fiance loves watching the really bad zombie flicks. We also use the computer to watch things through hulu and some of the network sites. After we hooked the computer up we realized the cable was wasted money and cancelled. 🙂

anon — I never thought of hooking my laptop to the TV. That's a great idea!

5dollarsaday — What other websites do you use to watch movies?

hb — thanks.

Betsy Bargain — I love the fact that we no longer buy DVDs. We took all of the old ones to our beach house for renters to enjoy. It's great to keep out the clutter!

He can watch all the kids videos he wants, and my sister doesn't have to buy them all and have them cluttering up the house.

I also use many other online sites for watching things. Some are mor elegal than others but, it turns out, that I'm legal most of the time so I have no guilt about it.

I take my laptop down to the exercise bike and I use it in the kitchen if I'm doing tedious cooking or wtachign cooking shows.

My boyfriend hooked the laptop to our tv with a VGA cable so we could watch it without squinting. I was afraid it would look weird and stretched out because our tv is so big but the quality was not that bad really. At first we were still listening through the laptop speakers but then hooked it up to our sound system so we could control the volume better. This way you can still get movies without waiting and comfortably relax on your couch like you normally would 🙂

I don't know if its all the centers now, but the one closest to me does. I used to hold off sending them back if I knew that they weren't going to process them anyway. Gives us subscribers an extra day and a nice treat in the mail come Monday.
