You guys use hulu a lot.. and hijacking shultzman's slingbox, streaming shows over netflix. I'd like to hear all the ways you watch TV, and what you watch, and where (laptop, desktop, laptop connected to a TV?). You ever watch shows from youtube, AOL TV?

Hulu is great as long as you live in the USofA. Would be interesting to see what our international friends (that are Hulu free) use.

That's what I use ;)

We can use a program like Hotspot Shield or use a Proxy Server to mask the fact that we are filthy foreigners ;) but both of these options have a speed drawback. :?
and living in a remote location with sucky internet speed neither of these options are any good to me.

So for me it's BT every time. 8-)

I only download TV Shows.
Hell, I'd pay for them if they'd let me, but we can't get them off iTunes until they've been shown in Australia and even then we have to wait sometimes months.

I get all my TV show Torrents from http://eztv.it/
They have proven to be the fastest and safest choice.
Even the other popular BT sites get their best TV torrents from these guys.
I hate waiting months for my favourite shows to be shown on Australian TV.

With BT I can usually watch the show within 24 hours of it being shown on US TV

So Seed early and Seed often :D

Like Wombat, I torrent most shows, but everynow and then if I just want to watch some crap, I turn on Hotspot and watch something on Hulu or any of the major US network websites that stream episodes, it works fairly well....if Hotspot decides to work, which sometimes it doesnt.

I normally use torrent to get my TV shows... But I do use Hulu as well :-) Live in the Netherlands but thanks to an account at Witopia.net ... works great for all US-restricted sites...

I also use the XBOX360 as a media center, but I do so without using a PC, I have a program on my mac called Connect360 it works a treat and its so smooth when running videos through the wifi.

I use usenet for my downloads, then I play then on a Popcorn Hour A100 via HDMI to my HDTV. The A100 is slow around the menu system but it plays almost every format know to man in up to 1080p. BluRay rips in Divx/Xvid look awesome ! I installed a 500 Gig IDE HDD and use it like a NAS for storing my TV/Movies.

The latest firmware adds a Usenet Client and it has a Bittorrent client already. I can log into the unit form the internets and give it a usenet NZB file, it will go out and download, replace using PAR files and unrar so it's ready to watch.

@steveo3d: Never heard of the popcorn box, sounds a lot like boxee? Seems to me the idea of JUST having a media extender is quite limiting. If I'm gonna run a box, it had better be able to record TV as well. I spose I could setup some sort of frontend/backend system, but it seems overkill.
