Battlestar Galactica via Amazon Unbox
posted in Technology, TV |More and more I’ve been watching TV much later than its official release. I wonder if using DVR starts you down that slope? First you are just time-shifting shows to later that night, then you watch them a different day of the week when you have more time. Pretty soon you are catching up on weeks of episodes. 24 season 5 and the first season of Prison Break were the first big cases where we saved up the whole season- it can be fun to watch them all in a row in just a few weeks.
Amazon Unbox has made this much easier since I don’t have to record and save up from the TV broadcasts. I just caught up on the new Battlestar Galactic series and I’ve got to say I’m impressed by both how good the show was as well as how good the experience can be watching this stuff in high quality on Amazon. I’ve been hoping to catch up on Lost also but unfortunately Unbox does not have it (despite having many other CBS programs). I really don’t get why some of the networks are being so tight with this stuff- they just passed up around $20 dollars of easy, no cost to them revenue…
