Gainesville Apartment Residents Discover the Benefits of Getting TV Online

When YouTube launched in 2005, it drastically changed the way people consume video entertainment, and, not surprisingly, some of the earliest uploads included episodes of popular TV shows. While these posts were often illegal and quickly removed, many content providers began to notice and made serious investments in developing their own streaming video services. Take Netflix, for example. Now with more than 20 million subscribers, Netflix alone makes up nearly 30% of the Internet traffic in the U.S. during peak hours, and more and more people are discovering how it and similar legal video streaming services can revolutionize their TV watching experience.

Compared to traditional TV, there are many advantages to watching shows online in your Gainesville apartment, including:

• Convenience – Since Internet TV is all on-demand, you can enjoy all your programs on your schedule. Most services can even track how much of a show you’ve watched, so it’s always easy to pick a show back up right where you left off. In fact, many allow you to “queue” shows, essentially making you the program director of your very own channel.
• Fewer commercials – Many older TV shows, or past seasons of those still on the air, can be viewed without any commercials on paid Internet TV services, and even current episodes usually have far fewer commercials than the televised broadcasts.
• Affordable – For a fraction of the price of buying a single season’s DVD box set, many shows can be seen in their entirety on streaming service.

Best of all, many of these services can also be used through game consoles, tablets, smart phones, and even certain brands of Internet-connected TVs, making it easy to access your entertainment wherever and however you please. Whether you want to catch up with the latest Fox and NBC shows in HD on Hulu or create your own X-Files marathon on Netflix, a streaming Internet TV service is an excellent way to enjoy the TV shows you love.

And if you need a relaxing residence where you can enjoy all of the above, consider renting one of Bellamay Grand’s luxury apartments. For more information on our community, contact our main office today.
