I watch a lot of TV shows, but I do not have the leisure time to stop and hang out in the living room, watching whatever is on. When prime time rolls around, I’m lucky if I am even at home. After I’ve caught up on work and reading, by the time I get to the TV, the only thing on worth watching is the late-night infomercial for the Magic Bullet. So I take my TV to go. I use Mediacom OnDemand, buy shows from iTunes, record shows with TiVo, or watch shows via online on-demand services from the major networks.

Mediacom’s OnDemand allows me to watch “Big Love” and “Dexter” when I have time rather than during broadcast. iTunes allows me to download an episode at a time or buy an entire season, with each episode automatically downloaded to my computer. This is useful because Mediacom does not offer the Sundance Channel; iTunes does. With the latest version of TiVo, I can pull stored video directly from the TiVo and format it for my iPod.
