Sony Pictures Entertainment’s online video network Crackle.com is streaming a 13-week season of original programming.

The season will include three different shows, the first being a tech show, “The Esquire Digital Man,” which is written and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who is a monthly columnist for Esquire Magazine.

The second show, “Hardline: Inside the Idaho Sex Cult,” is a “60-Minutes”-style mockumentary from comedy troupe the Groundlings. Thirdly, there is a live-action zombie comedy called “Woke Up Dead,” starring Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), beginning in October.

In addition to Crackle.com, the series will be available on other video sites, including YouTube, Hulu, Veoh and AOL.

They've actually had original content for a while. I've been watching it through Zinc. Most of it has been short form content though. Not sure if this is referring to long form content.

Just subscribed to netflix... I started with streamick, tvweb360 . [The wmv stuff works flawless and just as good as TV I watched from the seventies to now. Even works on a 600 mhz machine. But too much is moving to flash, where even a 4 ghz single core renders jerky in full screen mode.] Hulu is too jerky to watch and HD stuff totally not streamable on a 1.5 cable connection, much less a thirty dollar per month seven sixty eight.

Then came crackle-- the first flash that works. Still too jerky in full screen, as it is flash, but it will pop out and can be expanded to a large screen. THE PROBLEM IS: No walmart players, or so I believet (vunow?) I thought selection good on crackle, and don't see netflix as having that much more selection in 2011.

We have a Wii , so we got netflix. I was blown away at how well it works. And the silver light works flawlessly too. [My only beef is I cannot limit quality, so we don't bump into the cap or raise flags with my ISP. If kids are watching in day, quality should be 250 kps max, at night with wife watching reality quality should be 320 kps max, and on weekends in evenings quality should be limited to 400 kps. There is no quality control with netflix.]

I would dump netflix if I could go to a local brick and morter Best or walmart and buy a $100 box with built in wireless ethernet that could do home ripped movie streams and or crackle + hulu + a few other free ones [Naturally, without any home computer turned on, hassle of messing with a computer, and reliant on latest cpu&working condition of the home machine.]

(I am fishing for tangible suggestions with affordable boxes (not tv sets), as well as offering opinions.)

HD rant: I can get 75 movies on one blue ray at 420 p, near 480 and above tv quality of the 70s and 80s. I hate HD for its inefficiency. 4-6 meg per minute is current state of art (h.264 and wmv) for noticeable artifact free quality close to sd and above analog ota ntsc with static/color wash/vertical roll/ etc.
