The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

He had an apple console hooked up and was surfing around pretty quickly so perhaps it was a different app. Maybe Vevo or something. I will say that a smart tv is the way to go. A lot more convenient than a hdmi cable into the tv.
Crackle is totally free. There are some commercials though. I think it's backed or owned by Sony Entertainment.
Smart TVs are sweet.
I'm in the process of optimizing my home theatre PC. Bought myself a cheapo Dell for $350 on a boxing day sale that has all the stats I need for this applicaiton. Figured it was cheaper than upgrading my 55" LED TV to a smart TV (bought it a couple years back before smart TVs were so common) and I'd get a whole bunch more functionality. I just transferred over a hundred gigs of music (mostly flac files) last night. The PC is now multitasking as an audio library and player, a smart TV interface, a cd player, a dvd player, a blu ray player and a regular old PC. It's all hard wired in with an ethernet connection so it's super fast.
Windows 8 totally blows for actually getting stuff done, but it's pretty good for this application actually. The app interfaces are good.
One of my next steps is to convince the wife that we can finally ditch cable TV.
I believe you can purchase NHL Center Ice just through the old interwebz, but I believe DirectTV still has their greasy palms controlling NHL Sunday Ticket. I think you still need to be a cable subscriber in Canada and in the USA you need to have DirectTV.
We should at least be able to go down to the cheapest TV package at this point with all the TV and movies we have access through now through Netflix and other providers.
With Boardwalk Empire done, Walking Dead on a break and waiting for a new season of True Detecive to start I got no shows right now. What's good out there?

The Shield is on Netflix . It's a good watch . Justified was on netflix but now i see it on Crackle and it's pretty good . Homeland is on Netflix and is pretty good . Breaking Bad is a no brainer . House of Lies is hilarious .

Call me late to the program but I just discovered Louie CKs show - Louie. Quite funny
