Awake premieres on March 1st at 10 pm EST on NBC.

This one has a potentially complicated plot.


Awake stars Jason Isaacs (“Harry Potter,” “Brotherhood”) as a detective who finds he is leading a complex double life that defies reality. From executive producers Kyle Killen (“Lone Star”) and Howard Gordon (“Homeland,” “24″), “Awake” is an intriguing drama about Detective Michael Britten (Isaacs) who finds he’s living two parallel lives. He’s involved in a car accident that seems to have killed both his son (Dylan Minnette, “Saving Grace”) and wife (Laura Allen, “Terriers”), yet his mind creates an ingenious coping mechanism in which he now lives two separate lives – one where his wife survived and the other where his son did. Trying to regain some normalcy, Michael returns to solving crimes in both worlds with the help of two different partners, Detective Isaiah “Bird” Freeman (Steve Harris, “The Practice”) and Detective Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama, “That ’70s Show”). Michael is assigned a different case in each reality and quickly discovers that his dual existence is actually a powerful tool. He begins to solve impossible cases by using his two realities to gain unique perspectives and link clues that cross over from world to world. Helping Michael to navigate his two realities are his bureau-assigned therapists Dr. Evans (Emmy Award winner Cherry Jones, “24″) and Dr. Lee (BD Wong, NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”). While both therapists work to untangle his two worlds, Michael has no interest in proving either one is false. But when memories of the accident begin to haunt him, he is forced to confront the truth about what really happened the night of the crash.

Have you any idea wtf is going on with EZTV and a lot of the other sources axxxo? All EZTV recent shows are in x264 format only, no XVids ????

While quality is desirable, x264's are savage in size which is not good considering the mental price increase in storage costs, not to mention bandwidth usage :willy nilly: x264's are not good for streaming to Xbox either :whacko:
 
lol
Well then, on a more serious note, i would guess competition?
Streaming sites advertise broadcasting in HD so all the rest follow suit? Id imagine though its pretty heavy on their end aswell so an option for users to select which format they wish to view it in would be ideal, in an ideal world :)

But that's exactly my point axxo, up to a couple of days ago the option for Xvid was widely available, but now its not...
 
I've never used those services before so i dont know to be honest, it is strange for it to suddenly disappear.
Maybe a strongly worded email to the site itself is needed?
 
Sucks to have apple tv :)

In fairness to the sites that do this it must take an awful amount of time and money to do all those encodes although im sure they have the hardware capable of doing it pretty quickly!
A string of complaints should be flooded into them!
