Where To Watch The London 2012 Olympics

There's been a lot of searching on the internet by people looking for ways to watch the 2012 London Olympics. I've done a little research and find there's more then one way to see Olympic games. This is by no means a complete listing of sources, and it will be updated if I become aware of other sources. If you have found coverage that isn't listed here, please feel free to update this information by adding a comment.


So, lets look at the sources I've found for 2012 Olympics Coverage!

Why Do People Pay For HULU Plus?

HULU, or HULU+?

 
 I just don't get it. Why do people continue to pay for Hulu Plus, especially when you consider that Hulu FREE gives you shows that you won't get on Hulu Plus? That's right, if you pay for Hulu Plus, there are shows you can only watch on Hulu Free. And you can only watch Hulu for free on a computer! And on a "device" like a ROKU or Android Tablet, there is a group of shows you can only watch on a computer - even if you're paying for HULU+. And that group of shows includes "The Simpsons"!

But if you have a decent computer, you can connect your computer directly to your TV, or you can use PlayOn or Plex servers to stream Hulu Free to your Roku box, game console, or other streaming device. So why pay for Hulu Plus?

ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to circumstances beyond my control (Namely, my day job is now taking 6 days a week instead of 4 - but the pay is the same.) I will not be building or installing any antennas until further notice. I do have some commercially built antennas for sale, and I will be able to recommend antennas for your location.You may contact me at:

Help Cache Free TV Help You

I'm often asked why I write this blog. I guess the answer is that I really hate paying for something that you can get free, and I hate the pay TV companies for, well, so many reasons. Making people believe that you must pay for TV, for their poor service, high prices, constant price increases, charging extra for HD, making you rent a set top box for each TV you own, cable TV's monopolistic practices and... I could go on, but you get my point.

I can tell you one thing for sure: it's not for the money. Nobody should ever write a blog just for the money. Do it because you like it, do it because you can help others, do it to put a smile on someone's face. I do enjoy writing this little blog, and I enjoy helping others defeat the big, bad pay TV providers. The look on someone's face when they see they are getting 30 or more channels of digital TV free is priceless. And I hope I manage to put a smile on someone's face once in a while.

I don't want it to seem like I'm panhandling, but the reality is that I spend a lot of time - and yes, my own money, too - working on this project for little or no compensation. During the recent recession, pay at my day job has been frozen for 4 years, benefits cut. Prices on everything have continued to skyrocket upwards. I climb up on roofs to install antennas for people, in spite of being over 50 and - believe it or not - I hate heights! In the end, I have a family to support, and I have to justify to Mrs.CacheFreeTV all the time and money I spend writing this blog and buying cool TV gadgets to review for you, my readers.

So I'd like to take a few minutes to tell you how you can help me keep Cache Free TV going, and continue helping everyone cut the cord and save some green. If I've helped you save money, or if you find this blog useful or entertaining, you can help in a number of ways. Best of all, it doesn't have to cost you anything!

KUTA 8: UPDATE!

UPDATE: KUTA 8.1 is once again broadcasting America One programming as of today, 3/14/2012. I take back what I wrote about your choice of SBC. My comments about your website and your 8.3 sub-channel stand, however.
What's happening over at KUTA-LD channel 8? Are you guys on the crack, or what? I was planning to review channel 8 KUTA in a series of posts along with every channel I get here starting with channel 2, KUTV. But I can't wait. Someone is asleep at the wheel over at KUTA, and they need to wake up.

Internet Links For TV Networks

 Today's post is just a quickie - Links to streaming content from broadcast and cable TV networks. I will add to this list as I find more content. Note that some of these sites offer full episodes, and others are just clips. Most of the content is "on demand" shows, there are very few networks offering live streams.
All the links are for computers, not for streaming devices.
