Desperate Housewives April 30th episode Streaming Video

[tigger_too_wooh]

The next episode of Desperate Housewives is going to be available to watch via streaming video for FREE at www.abc.com on May 1st. It's the day after it airs.

I found this in TV Guide. Does anyone know if they do this every week?

probably not,
I dont think the TV stations in countries overseas will be happy about that.

For instance, in my country, many people actually download the episodes through P2P networks right after it aires because the series here is about 3 months behind the US. And the media network here wanted to take action on the basis that there is loss of Advertising revenue because the viewership numbers would decrease from viewers downloading the shows.

So, I dont think ABC would screen multiple episodes.

Having said that, thanks for the post, I would like to see the next episode after last weeks refresher.

Crappers..
I think they may do it everyweek.

IF you see their webpage they mentioned that its 'free encore episodes' launching may 1st. I saw this that day, but i misinterpreted it as pliot episodes. WTH was i thinking.

Anyways, they will probably just block IP addresses of non- US vistors trying to D.L the shows. ARGH!!!!

They Have LOST as well as Commander In Chief and Alias too.. FYI

The site is up already. Here>> http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing

But poor me gets a message that it's only for US residents..ARGH!!..
Anyways, can someone tell me how it is like?
e.g. The Quality?
Does it take long to stream? Are you able to forward through the ADs?

Thanks!

I've only been watching lost for about 2 min but it seems like its a pretty clear feed. They show you on the progression line where a commercial is coming up. The image quality is pretty good too. Not dvd quality but definitly better than most of the streams out there.
