Watch your favorite shows and movies on the World Wide Web.
The internet has made watching movies and reruns of television without leaving your home increasingly simple. Some film and television production companies put their product on the internet to gain a wider audience. They believe that if people begin to watch their movies and shows on the internet, they might gain profit from it. If you can connect to the internet, there are several options you have to watch movies and reruns legally.
Instructions
Hulu
1. Connect to hulu.com. Hulu provides its visitors with reruns of television shows, feature films and trailers. It is entirely free, which is an important benefit.
2. Create a login account with your e-mail address and password. Creating a log in account lets you view television shows and movies that are for a mature audience.
3. Watch a few seconds of commercials, and enjoy your show. You might have to sit through a 20 second commercial every 10 minutes. Sometimes it allows you to watch a one minute commercial at the beginning of the show, which removes commercials from the rest of your viewing time.
Company's Website
4. Go directly to production company's website, based on which show you want to watch.
5. Browse through that company's available shows to find the show and the episode you want to see.
6. Click "Play" and wait for the episode to start. You may have to wait through some online commercials before your show begins.
iTunes
7. Create an iTunes account, and log in to view the movie and television selection. The movies typically range from $4.99 to $19.99 depending on whether you are buying or renting in 2010.
8. Rack up gift cards to help pay for your movies and television shows from iTunes. If you enjoy the selection, let your family and friends know that iTunes gift cards are perfect Christmas presents for you.
9. Be prepared to wait on your download. The main problem with watching movies and television shows through iTunes is that the downloading time can be around an hour. Plan ahead when downloading to save yourself some time.
Netflix
10. Purchase a Netflix account to have movies and television shows sent to your home via your internet connection. Netflix sends movies through the mail to your home, but also offers free online viewing based on the plan you sign up for. As of 2010, plans ranged from $4.99 a month to $47.99 a month.
11. Try it out and see if you like it before you commit to the service. Sampling it for free for the first month might be a deal you want to take part in during 2010. If you don't like it, cancel before the company begins charging you.
12. Connect to Netflix with the entertainment systems you already have at home. It works by letting you stream television shows and movies directly to your TV, Mac, or PC if you have an account. It also lets you watch television shows and movies with your Wii, PS3 or XBox 360 with an Unlimited plan, which means you can watch as much as you want.
