Catch Up on Missed TV Shows

By -

catchupDid you miss the season premiere of Lost last night?  What if your DVR fails to record it? What if you don’t have a DVR? What are you supposed to do?  I’m going to show you three free websites to catch up on missed TV shows (and it’s even free and legal!)

So, you couldn’t watch Jack Bauer save the world again.  Well, I think that’s a shame. Here are 3 ways to catch up on your favorite TV shows:

  1. hulu-logo Hulu – This is my favorite site and one we have talked about before here on Student Nerds.  It is very well designed and doesn’t really bug you too bad with ads.  It was started as a joint collaboration with NBC and FOX, so you won’t find any ABC shows on here.
  2. fancast_logo Fancast – This is a website started by Comcast.  Fancast is an aggregator that pulls in shows from many networks. 
  3. JoostBeta_color Joost – Joost started out as a standalone application, but now has dumped that idea to focus solely on it’s web interface.  It is very well designed and even integrates with Facebook so you don’t have to create your own account.  It also allows you to share what you’re watching with your friends.  There is a lot of potential with this.

I’d pay for it because I didn’t think there was any other way.  I then moved on to a free version of McAffee that my school gave me.  I probably used that for years before moving on to the next one; AVG. I loved AVG for a long time.  It was fairly quick, updated often but it was a little obtrusive.  I dealt with that though because the product was truly free.  About a year ago I AVG had a false positive that caused iTunes to get messed up.  I freaked out and uninstalled AVG and iTunes so nothing bad would happen to my music collection.  The next day a fix was issued but it was already too late for ...
