I know most everyone has Tivo or some sort of DVR (digital video recorder) but it’s not necessarily easy to access or portable. Miss last weeks episode of Southpark? Forget to Tivo 24 Season 6 Episode 2? Not to worry — just visit Peekvid.com and watch it for free — streaming straight from your computer.
Peekvid.com hosts dozens of movies & tv shows for your free viewing pleasure and with a very clean UI (user interface). As long as you have a high speed internet connection, internet browser, and a current version of the Flash media plug-in (90% of you do) then you’re good to go.
I’m still just wondering how they don’t get busted for copyright infringement but who’s complaining? Of course you can find lots of pirated videos on youtube.com but this site is much easier to find what you want to watch. Get bored at your parents house and there’s nothing on tv? Head to the computer and watch what you want. (No offense mom & dad!)
There will probably be more and more of these sites out there and I’m not sure how it will be regulated. It’s like how the music industry first had a problem with mp3’s getting passed around the internet and then iTunes monetized the idea. Video is already heading that way and fast. Long live open source & free media.
So when you get a chance, check out http://www.peekvid.com and catch up on the latest episodes of the Amazing Race, Entourage, or Grey’s Anatomy (or whatever floats your boat).
