There are a couple of shows back in the states I really like, including Stargate Atlantis, Chuck, Heroes, Smallville and Lost. I used to watch them on Hulu.com, but Hulu doesn't allow anything to stream overseas, so I've lost out on watching all of my favorite shows. I've managed to find a couple of shows, like Smallville on Youtube, but it's really bad quality.

Does anyone know of any way of watching these shows? Or do they come on Korean TV at all? I have cable here in Seoul, but I'll be honest and admit I rarely turn it on because there are too many channels, and I have yet to figure out if any are worth anything, aside from CNN and BBC for news. But I really don't want to be watching news 24/7.

Any advice on this? I have very little (almost none) experience on torrents and that sort of stuff. I was hoping to find legit ways to see this stuff. I was buying some of the shows on iTunes, but honestly, I don't want to own them. I just want to watch them. And iTunes really starts to add up for something I will never use a second time.

Google bit torrents.


You can watch anything that is on at home. Check out mininova and demoniod for torrents.

Read this to find out about torrents http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/

Good luck

surfthechannel.com & megavideo.com are great... someone usually uploads shows the hour after they air... sometimes they even have episodes that were "leaked" before they aired, i.e. dexter... these sites also have movies, docs & sports...

Thanks. I bookmarked that page so I can read it when I have a little more time. I've been half posting on here and half trying to finish off the final version of my thesis to send back home so I can officially graduate from grad school. My thesis has already been defended; just have to finish these last changes and then I have another useless master's degree. Woohoo!
