Is anyone working on a way to access the major networks online shows? I have noticed they keep making more and more shows available for online viewing it would be real nice to be able to access them through sage somehow. Is this a possibility? I know they keep adding more online services within sage. I really think this may be the future of tv viewing. What do you all think?

With all the excitement around the HD Extender, it probably got missed.

Just my 2 cents...

Ad revenue supports broadcast programming. When shows air the old fashioned way, we watch ads which pay for the shows.

As we move to an online age, and more shows are streamed via the www, the $$ is still needed. The business model that appears to be developing is to show these programs through 'crippled' media players that force you to watch ads. I think it'd be very difficult to get this content into Sage, at least in a easily do-able manner.

Unless you are watching Sage via a Client PC, and can launch an external browser, I don't foresee these shows coming to Sage any time soon.
