Not so fast. It’s not what you think. I’m not asking if you might use sneaky illegal means to watch TV programmes. I want to know if you watch network TV programmes legally on the Internet, whether it’s on the iPlayer, 4oD, Hulu, the good old Apple iTunes store or some other service. if you do, how do you do it – on a computer or some other device? Do you ever buy the content or do you stick to free only? And do you splurge for high-def if it’s available?
And if you don’t watch downloads, why not?
FYI, I use both my Nintendo Wii and my iPhone to access the iPlayer and I use my Apple TV, iTunes and iPhone to purchase TV content, preferably in high def. But how about you?
As always, leave a comment with your answer or a link to your answer on your own blog.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
