After 4 p.m. on a Saturday and time for a new thread. Watched the pilot of House today

[elocs]

on justin.tv a private channel on Roku that I've been watching all week. In fact I've gone through most of the seasons of House. The rub is that the episodes stream live, but continuous, so you cannot pick out your episode. It does tell you before each episode which season and episode it is as well as the title. The video quality is not real good, but watchable. It doesn't stutter or break up or anything, and besides I am usually doing something else besides watching.

The first House patient from the pilot was Robin Tunney, Lisbon from The Mentalist:

The plot:

Young kindergarten teacher Rebecca Adler collapses in her classroom after uncontrolled gibberish slips out of her mouth while she is about to teach students.

Turns out I've seen the pilot before but didn't realize it was the pilot before. I haven't streamed Netflix all week because I've been enjoying justin.tv watching episodes of Criminal Minds and Freaks and Geeks and others.

1. I'm taking bets on how long I can hold out.

Before breaking down and getting my own Roku box.

You're a great influence.

2. Thanks, this forum does seem to be really slowing down with just 1 post on Saturday.

The Roku box has been a great value. I've had some of the other channels on it other than Netflix, but I've never really watched them until this past week and even then it has been only justin.tv.

Last night I caught the last hour of the movie Salt and then watched A Law Abiding Citizen. I say "caught" because these shows stream live so you have to catch them as they are on, but you can pause them.

Right now I back to watching House again to see some of the episodes I had missed. Right now the one on is about what happened to House's leg (before he goes into surgery he has "do not amputate this leg" written on his bad leg "and not this one either" on the other one).
