I never watch TV in real time anymore, that’s why I have TiVo. And if TiVo glitches and forgets to record a show, as it did with Prison Break this week, now, thanks to cross-media syndication, I can just go online.

Prison Break is on Fox, who syndicates on MySpace. I was concerned I would have to suffer through yet another horrendous MySpace experience to see the show. To my surprise, Fox has done right with its Prison Break page/site/player. The viewer was nearly full-screen and played in high resolution. Commercial breaks were minimal, and there was no skipping or dithering. Overall a very positive experience and a great new backup plan.
