acornonline.com also known as AcornTV is a website where you can watch the great British shows like: Above Suspicion, Prime Suspect (that the American version is based on), Midsomer Murders, Cadfael, Agatha Christie's Poirot, etc.

I love the police & medical dramas and all sorts of mysteries such as: CSI, Bones, Law & Order, Castle, etc. and now I can watch the great British shows on AcornTV. (I am located in the USA).

There is just one catch -- you can only watch a limited number of shows that they make available at any one time. There is one episode of 10 different shows available to watch any any one time. Then once a week the oldest available video drops off and a new one is added.

You, of course, can buy an entire series on DVD, otherwise you just have to be very patient and wait for a new show to be made available each week.

Another plus is that there are no "click throughs" that can lead you into computer virus/malware territory and there is nothing to download in order to watch a show.

The only "con" is I wish that there were more episodes where available to watch.

I have a very basic computer set up with a Lenovo computer less than 6 months old, Win 7, DSL modem. No special anything on it.

I can watch Hulu shows and TV shows on www.cbs.com without any problems. But, when I tried NetFlix I had terrible streaming/buffering problems. When I contacted Netflix they told me to contact my internet service provider (ATT) - that it was their problem.

Talk about passing the buck! And telling me to contact ATT to fix anything is like telling me to give myself a frontal lobotomy without any anesthia, and, oh, here's an old pocket knife you can use to do it.

I hate companies that "pass the buck" to another company when there is a compatibility problem. This happens too often in the computer & communications arena.

Netflix should have been able to identify the problem (I'm sure I'm not the only person to run into this problem) and have some suggested solutions that they could give me.

Netflix is not my friend. Too bad because I'd love to watch some episodes that they have.

A great way to watch TV on your computer. No "click thru" involved or downloads that can infect your computer. VERY GOOD SITE!... now if they would just get some decent movies...
