Why I’m going back to watching Heroes via torrents
I’m glad NBC is posting the Heroes series on its site. Heroes‘ schedule isn’t my own. So, I decided I would put up with NBC’s “limited commercial interruptions” because downloading torrents takes time, too.
But, the mistake of hitting the “reload” button on my browser, which slammed the NBC video player all the way back to the beginning. And guess which parts you can’t fast forward over? Plus, now the ads are freezing, so I’ll have to restart again, and watch the same damn Silver Surfer ads again. (Every time I see that ad, I think again about how bad the movie looks.)
Torrents may be a pain in the butt, but at least once they run, I can control what I’m looking at. Plus, the picture is bigger and clearer.
So, NBC, you’re going to have to do better to compete with free. [Tags: torrents heroes tv nbc]
