Hands free On Demand

Oh the wonders of digital television! It appears that there are three channels viewable on our bedroom flat panel TV that pick up the On Demand content of other folks in the neighborhood.
As a result, I’ve been able to watch every episode of TrueBlood (which isn’t all that bad) and get caught up on this season of South Park.
The real fun comes when they fast forward through the commercials for me. It’s like TiVo but with even less effort. Of course, I don’t get to choose what I watch on these channels, but I do get a unique insight into the tastes of my neighbors.
This is apparently not a new phenomenon, but it’s a fun way to inject some randomness into my day.
