As much as I love local commericals, watching TV shows and movies from online sources is growing on me. The same is true for the rest of America, in which 24 million households are projected to use web-to-TV services by 2013.
Sites like hulu.com have enjoyed a steady increase in popularity recently, as they offer an easy and legal way to get our TV fix. But products that allow you to view streaming video content on your TV are becoming more common and lower in price.
Currently, nearly 30% of those age 25-30 already use video game consoles to view streaming video. Last night I used the Netflix "Watch Instantly" feature on my Xbox 360 to watch Fire Down Below. Without having to watch all the commercials, I was able to catch almost half of the movie before falling asleep. Thank you, Internet.
