EXAMINE: TV OR NOT TV? – WEB SURFING RECHAIRS FEED SURFING

MY aged TV blew up in May.

Being Surfer gURL as good as all, we motionless to abandon channel surfing for Web surfing as good as haven't gotten a aged blood vessel replaced.

Sure I've longed for a small pass uncover finales, together with "Party of Five" as good as "Beverly Hills 90210" as good as torpedo cliff-hangers for "West Wing," "Frasier" as good as "The X-Files."

In a mornings, we can't watch "The Today Show's" Friday concerts or "Martha Stewart Living." And we didn't get to see Kathie Lee Gifford cry upon her farewell show.

But for a many part, we don't skip a aged television, interjection to a Web.

Now, prior to streamer to work, we download a headlines around AvantGo.com to my Palm Pilot. we have to attend to Yankees games upon a radio, though we lend towards to tumble defunct prior to a ninth inning.

A co-worker during New York Post Sports Week is confounded which we don't own a TV. No consternation – he has seven, together with a single in his automobile as good as a single of those portables. In fact, he's shopping another.

But during work, we can attend to a day games upon Internet air wave or follow with pictures play-by-plays upon a Web, which is a small simpler when you're articulate upon a phone. (Oops – we swore off multi-tasking!)

When it came to a Los Angeles as good as Philadelphia domestic conventions, well, we was covering them, so we didn't need TV.

Even so, a Web featured some-more coverage as good as research than a networks. ABC.com's Sam Donaldson featured interviews with a Rock, Christie Brinkley, Jimmy Carter, a Rev. Jesse Jackson, Christie Todd Whitman, George Pataki as good as Newt Gingrich. American Online had Karenna Gore Schiff in for a Web chat.

O.J. was behind upon TV as well, compelling his Web site, "AskOJ.com."

I even became a "Survivor" addict but examination an part until a last one, by gripping up with Salon.com's weekly blow-by-blow accounts of any show.

I knew a details as good as outs so good which a single seasoned "Survivor" supporter suspicion we had watched any as good as each installment.

The CBS.com site was a slight beating but pass video clips, such as a prolonged walks as good as talks of Greg as good as Colleen or a nauseating maggot suppers.

But when we did balance in to a last part (at work), it felt a small anti-climactic – celebration of a mass a summaries as good as seeking during singular videos as good as photographs left a lot some-more to my imagination.

I can additionally watch live "Big Brother" videos upon a Web – selecting from 3 cameras in a residence – as good as review about who was voted out. But. since they're not edited a la "The Real World," so they get flattering tedious.

With a "MTV Video Music Awards" subsequent week, it's easy to brush up upon a nominations during rope as good as air blower sites.

MTV.com's Total Request Live has a tip 5 videos, so if we unequivocally wish to see Eminem, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera or Hanson a single some-more time, there's some-more approach entrance upon a Web than by a out-of-date way. Other sites, such as Digital Club Network, a Live Music Channel as good as a Independent Music Network, suggest consistent song streaming.

Without a flickering light of a TV, we could be vital in a dim ages. But with a 'Net, I'm not.

Once we get a broadband entrance during home, a mechanism will be my sum party center. Stay tuned for that.
