Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] watching streaming shows from NBC...

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I typically pick up a replay of Heroes if I miss it on Monday nights. We have now made it a special occasion for my wife and I and leave time for just that on Monday nights, but I have watched the streaming version on more than one occasion in the past.

How do you know it is better than DVD?  To me it looks a little worse, but
similar.  More important question:  Is there a way to view it full screen?
Or do you use some kind of zoom feature?

Related question:  Can you watch them OK under Linux?  If so, what are you
using?

Thanks for telling us about those shows.

Mike
