No commercials? No free content.
I like the convenience of being able to watch TV shows from my computer when I am traveling or am not in front of my TV/DVR setup – especially when that experience is free. I think ABC does a great job with their hosting of shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, etc., but I just ran in to a problem I never saw coming.
That content is free to me because it contains ads that I have to watch. I don’t mind that much, I’m getting free content and there are less commercials than if I watched it on live TV, so I can live with it. But what I never expected was not being able to watch that content if there was an issue with the serving of commercials. I just hit this error message when trying to watch the latest episode of Lost.
No commercials, no free content for you! I guess ABC feels strongly that you can’t have one without the other.
