I'll bet some of you already know about this, but Helen pointed us to it last night: http://acornonline.com/acorntv.aspx]?]Acorn TV Online. For those who aren't familiar with them, Acorn imports and packages British TV shows for the American market. AcornTV is their streaming service, which offers a 30-day free trial, after which they cost US$2.99 a month or US$29.99 per year. Helen convinced us to try it out, since we could watch something on Peggy's laptop with its relatively large screen instead of our currently-malfunctioning TV. Did you know that there is a TV series of Dirk Gently by Douglas Adams? We watched its pilot episode last night on AcornTV.
The only drawback is that they rotate their streaming offerings on a monthly basis, so the available material is always changing. If you don't finish off an entire series before the end of the month, you may be stuck for a quite a while before it comes back up in the rotation.
