Does anyone have advice or feedback about a program or website that allows you to do this:

After canceling cable tv -- I decided to try out using my PC to view some programs.

I am planning to buy a TV tuner (usb) for my PC,

how do I know what shows I will have access to (before buying it) ...

Will it JUST be non mainstream films and unpopular tv shows?


Or will this USB tv tuner some how let me watch my weeds and big love? Weeds/Big Love are showtime and HBO shows.

A USB tuner will allow you to watch up over the air TV on your PC, You don't need it for internet TV if you mean sites like Hulu or Netflix
As far as the rest, I don't understand your abbreviations.

- weeds and big love
- tired playon in #2

Weeds is a Showtime series, and Big Love is on HBO.

A USB TV tuner can be used to connect cable TV to a computer, but something
tells me this is not what the OP has in mind.

OP: if you found playon useful, you can connect your PC directly to your TV, provided
both have compatible audio and video connectors.
