www.Watch-movies.net is a full bore pirated site, every movie that is in the current theater can be viewed on this site, now. This site should be taken down but most-likely on a server overseas.

Yea, I noticed that one of the movie websites talked about in the show had movies currently in theaters. It was probably the Watch-movies website. One would expect that a show like DL.TV wouldn't talk about websites like this, I'm pretty sure viewers of the show would notice the problem with the website and maybe not use it. There are so many other popular websites like Hulu, boxee, etc. that could have been reviewed in this episode instead of the ones that were actually reviewed. Well, probably makes no difference to me because I'm in Canada and none of the popular websites like Hulu work up here.

Most of those video watching sites link to warez/pirate copies. Time to start checking these sites thoroughly before you suggest them.
The standard of journalism shown here is appalling.

Robert, Brooks & Sam:

Please take this as constructive criticism from a long time viewer. I love DLTV and have been watching since the beginning. This episode was very poorly done.

It is ironic that the episode where you discuss receiving the Podcast award was such a step back in quality.

The lack of preparation for the segments showed. It was painfully obvious.

I think the sketchy online movie sites could have been left out.

The viewer questions seemed poorly answered. The mix ups didn't help either.

The whole show seemed rushed or put together last minute.

The redeeming part was Robert Heron trying his best to hold the show together but even he couldn't do it all.

Please don't take this as a negative reaction by some random viewer. After all, what do I know about hosting shows? This is meant as respectful constructive criticism. Thanks for the great shows over the years.

(I will unabashedly say though that Brooks taste in music is... really Brooks? really?)

By the way Robert, there was an email in your inbox regarding gay marriage... [just teasing, not that there is anything wrong with it]

Why are you promoting sites that show obviously pirated content?

I guess everyone's left the building.

No Divx downloads for several episodes
Bad rss links to php garbage

They must have downsized too and lost their tech department

Too bad it was a good show untill everyone left DL-TV

Hi DL.TV,

I would like to see EnergyStar HDTVs, accesories discussed for home theature. Also, how about techniques for sound isolation? Are there recommended acoustic panels? Curtains on walls?
What are the better ones? How to stop sound bouncing off walls? Etc.

Keep it up.

Nothing in there to help me understand what you guys are talking about. How about making captions for those who are deaf or hard of hearing? The way you are doing this, you are leaving us out.
