如果想要观看一些特定的电视，就需要支付一定的费用。很多人觉得这样的收费是很不合理的，而在一些网络上，不用花钱就可以免费收看一些节目，这让所有人都觉得即方便又实惠。

Josh Gilbert was tired of paying for the TV programming he wanted.

"Anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks a month."

So he dumped his service provider and hooked his 50-inch flat screen to his home computer.

"I can watch all the same shows, all I like to watch; when I had cable I can watch them just directly from the actual computer itself directly to the TV."

Josh is one of the growing number of people turning their TV set into big fancy computer screens.

At least five to ten customers come on a daily basis, asking how they can hook up their, their desktop computers to say their Television set.

They’re tapping in the services like Hulu.com for TV shows, it's partially owned by a parent company - NBC Universal. Sites like Pandora provide music, for movies options include Netflicks, Blockbuster and a service called VUDU. There are several ways to connect your computer to your TV, this is one of the easiest, an HDMI cable, one end goes into the back of your computer, the other goes straight into the back of your TV.

One of the most common questions is about video quality.

"It's great quality, extremely smooth, so there's no real like having to wait for the buffer out."

Josh is so satisfied, he says there is only one way he would ever go back.

"They made it free too."
