Ok, a few months ago when Stage6 regrettably closed its doors I did a write up on some of the best places on the net to find free TV and Movies. Since then many changes in places like Veoh and Megavideo have resulted in the quality of my favorites sites plummeting. This has forced me, much to my annoyance, to go searching for a new source for my television needs.

My searching eventually led me to a piece of software called Graboid. I’m generally skeptical about software that makes the kinds of promises that Graboid does, but they seem to be living up to it. The videos are crystal clear, CRYSTAL clear. They have HD content for crying out loud! And tons of it. They have new episodes  pretty much the day after they air and new movies pretty quickly as well.

The downside to the free version is that you have a 4gb monthly cap, which does suck a little bit, but for me it’s enough to watch the 2-3 shows I watch. The monthly fees range from 5$/month for 10gb up to 30$/month for 500gb.

As an example file size I just watched a 1 hour episode of The Ultimate Fighter which was about a 400mb file, which was crystal clear with no buffering after the first 2 minutes or so. I might conceivably want the 5$ membership at some point. But I doubt I’ll need it.

Graboid definitely gets Tech Empire approval both for their free service and for the paid service. The prices are very very reasonable, the content is massive and crystal clear, and the interface is slick and easy to use.  Check it out over at Graboid.com.
