Typical of so much on the internet these days. False and misleading come-on to get you to their site.
Once i use this site for good. Now there are many more competitive site providing far better options.
OVGUIDE.com (hereafter OVG) is very handy helping you locate a video or TV show of interest. Turns out OVG's search results will steer you to OTHER SITES where you can view your video but generally at a COST, of course. I executed a search: (FOX's "FRINGE" season2/episode 1 - I'd missed), and was really knocked out by what seemed to be free access to some great stuff.
Forty-seven minutes into my program a screen pops up informing me I'd "exceeded my bandwidth". I hate exceeding my bandwidth. Bottom line I could 'come back in about an HOUR and watch more, or, cough-up $59.95 for a years membership' and watch to my heart's content.
So OVG search actually costs $10 for a complete membership (a watered-down free version is available), AND... whatever web site you're routed to will likely charge to see that video.
This is not to say that OVG isn't handy, but ultimately FREE it's not.
Rather than pony-up $60 without checking, I slid over to "fox.com." A quick search found Fringe which I watched in it's entirety, absolutely gratis. FOX is great about that.
Tried to watch Spin at least 10 different times. Waited through the commercials but it never starts. BAIT AND SWITCH?
I was looking everywhere for Gossip Girl once they took it off the CW website, and I finally found it using ovguide! I love this site. It's easy and totally free. So i recommend it to anybody that wants to get caught up on tv shows, watch movies, or just browse through videos online.
I just graduated from college and don't have a lot of extra money to spend on cable and other luxuries. With OVGuide.com I can find, watch and discover all kinds of new shows. This is a GREAT site for finding any form of online video.
I was really surprised at this site and the content, since the reviews were so old. I actually got there thru a link from About.com, so don't know if this matters. I was able to play a fairly recent tv show and get it to play. I didn't have to log in, it just played. Like I said, I'm really surprised!
I view this as the kayak of online videos... in a similar way they have organized many online videos for people to either buy, rent or watch for free. I was looking to watch season 1 of smallville (who doesn't want to watch kristin kreuk) and it gave me several options on where I could download it or watch for free.
I just moved apartments and decided not to renew my cable bill. OVGUIDE has been a lifesaver for me! I watch movies and tv shows on there all the time. It is definitely my favortie website on the intertnet
Fab site for watching TV on your laptop. I have seen those sites promising FREE tv on your pc and charging tons of money for the software and this site does the same thing for free. Checck it out and watch some TV in a small window while at work :)
I read what Timothy wrote and canceled my cable and am just using my PC hooked up to my TV to watch shows now. Saving myself a few hundred extra a year. Enough to just get a subscription to netflix. Netflix plus ovguide is now my PC entertainment for less than cable.
This is one of my favorite sites that I use to catch up on movies sometimes. You can search for any type of movies to TV shows on here. Its like a search engine for videos. When I can't find the episodes that I wanna watch I head out to OVGUIDE.COM to search for the episode I wanna watch.
Well now I see I'm not the only one having issues. Yes it's free I get it but I have other free apps ( and paid apps) that work perfectly. Disgusted.
Commercials don't matter to me I like this Channel cuz it has a lot of movies but it definitely needs a search bar
I watched MOST of a movie after sitting thru/watching MANY commercials & then in the last 15-20 minutes into the movie the audio is playing but NO picture! WTF?! OVGUIDE SUCKS $#*!!
I was trying to find old episodes of True Blood and this was the only place that led me to a site which wasn't a scam. If you google True Blood videos mostly you just get scam websites.
Each time I try to play a video it kicks me out. Don't bother trying just a waste of time I would give it 0 stars if I could
This site definitely is worth the 5 stars, no scams, great selections and an easy way to find tv series for free.
"free movies online"?
It is NOT. Period.
Waste of time.
Answer: We weren't able to recreate the black screen you experienced when you went to the Donwton Abbey Season 5 page. There is a free trial offer by which you should be able to watch the episodes if you sign up for Amazon Prime.
Answer: OVGuide does not provide software to install and does not charge users for anything. If there is a download button, that is a result of an advertiser buying ads on our site through Google which displays the offer.
Answer: They usually do so to play ads which is how the cost of the stream and the content is paid for. If it stops for other reasons, that usually has to do with buffering that is a result of the internet connection you are watching the content on.
