Happy holidays lbjedward and your team and thanks for this great site and with the addition of the game site there is know reason to go anywhere else. I have been here for over two years now and love all the new show that have been added over the last six months so keep up the good work and once again thanks and happy holidays. Suggestions More forum quizzes A thread to confirm that any errors that have been reported are now fixed

Well let see i have been member for over 2 1/2 years and this site has made a lot improvement in the time-period especially on updating shows . I used remember a time when it used to take 3 days to update an episode of a particular show and now it only takes 6-12 hours from time the episodes air. The one thing i love about friendvista is the friendly atmosphere the moderators have created over the past 2 years i think we are lucky to have such a bunch understanding moderators who made coming on here brillant, trust me i have pushed all there buttons when i first came on here and I'm still here. . If there can tolerate me there really should win the peace prize VIPTV SITE i really don't have anything bad to say about this site as you have keep increasing your standards however it would be nice to keep the standard up like in September you added Vampire Diaries and Melrose place as soon first episode aired yet you have not maintain that standard some of the newer shows air later like White Collar & The Middle to name 2. With some of the newer show started in January like Human Target and Life Unexpected it would be nice if there added as soon as you can get it. Suggestion
  • I agree with codebreaker suggestion about A thread to confirm that any errors that have been reported are now fixed. :)
  • A personalise episode update list based last time you log-in on the site
  • It would great if you create a link to onlinegame bar from vip site like you have with forum link
  • An new play list feature where you can list the order you want watch an episode/show
  • Upgraded watch log where when you click on a show it tell you which episode you watch-some sort symbol beside the episode you watched . Onlinegame bar Well i love this site but the biggest problem is that games are getting old which is a shame. i am a constant player and games are getting boring if there was a way add some fresh new games it would really be appreciated. Also it would be nice add some new prizes if you could get partnership with moviesite for getting MG credit for onlinegame bar so we could exchange game points for MG credit would make it great. :). i don't know if this is possible but there is no harm in asking right? Tv-video Site Well this site has a lot problems which i think easily way is to list them 1) Not all the shows are easily access eg if i wanted to find an episode of The Good Wife on tv-video site i can't access it because there no link to it. you need to do the same thing you have on vip site which is a list of all the show at bottom. my suggestion drop down list that to a particular page just like on the onlinegamebar when you want find a particular game you click down list and go to particular game. 2) The size of the player is very small it would better get slightly bigger at least same size as pop-up player on viptv site. 3) The site really needs to be redesign increase user friendless just like what you did vip site redesign in the summer you need make that site more accessible.

    Hi there everyone! I have been a member for almost 2 1/2 years . I have always loved the site because everyone is so friendly . The moderators are always there to help you if you have a problem or just to have a friendly chat. The site has come a long way since I first joined. There are so many good shows that you can watch. And if you are not in the mood to watch a show, they have games you can play. The points you win in the games can be traded in for gifts or VIP points to watch your favorite shows. You can also get points by doing TV show quizzes. I want to thank everyone who have worked so hard at making this web site so great. Granny Penny

    Hallo, this site is not only a tremendous way for someone like me living “in exile” to be able to watch all the shows my relatives in England had to tape for me and then send them over to Germany by mail - no, this site turned out to be a sort of a life-saver! 2008/9 was a rather unlucky period for me: in a terrible car accident (someone drove into the back of my car while I was waiting at a red light and pushed me into the back of the car in front of me) my back was seriously injured and after several operations I had to lie in bed for almost 9 weeks! Also as a result of the accident, temporarily I couldn’t see very well, my vision kept changing, reading was almost impossible, so you might be able to imagine how frustrated and in the end even depressed I was, especially as I had used to lead a very active and happy life… But we found a solution: with my laptop at the side of my bed I started watching all the shows on this site, sometimes for hours, especially when I couldn’t read or even typing was too painful – my apologies to LiveCS, I must have got on your nerves when the “too-many-clicks-bugs” kept appearing and I kept asking when it would be fixed- I was simply bored stiff!! But let me assure you, there is nothing better to get over such a long, boring period than 7 seasons of West Wing or 15 seasons of ER! As you asked for stories connected to this wonderful site – here is mine, not asking for pity as I am much better these days, I CAN WALK AGAIN, not for long, but it is getting better – yet my addiction is still there and I can’t imagine having to live without you! As I have stated already several times before, one of the most outstanding characteristics of your site is the high viewing quality of the shows compared to many others I had tried! Keep up this standard and you will get even more members! And of course the forum, very informative, funny and interesting, and the quizzes (if only there were more…) are great! So, this was my two cents worth

    Happy Holidays everyone! I've been a member now for 2 years. I haven't used the site regularly, but I've found it fantastic for those periods where my life finally slows down! The site's also been great for introducing me to shows I wouldn't otherwise have started watching (through free shows). One suggestion is to start a film section, as well. Thanks! In Response There is actually a movie site which we have an affiliation to MovieOnline. Very often our members will comment on the movies they have watched here.

    Thanks Trulee. How far does the affiliation extend; can I use my vip.tv-video points on that site? Or is it entirely separate? Shinny: No, the sites are separate. You have to buy MG's (Movie Golds) to watch films but there are currently 50 free films (For Christmas) but normally 30 free films each month that members get to vote on. Go check it out.

    Well I don't know how "touching" this is, but a friend introduced me to TV-Video in April 2007. We were students in Paris France and by my 2nd year, I was so homesick for some decent TV and radio from home that I could scream. Coming from the US, where "Variety" is the spice of life and where you can get anything you want any time of the day -- to be stuck with 4 channels was a true drag. It was the first time I had ever seen Jack Bauer in 24 and I pigged out on all the season while on school break. It was great. I remember having trouble and the staff was so patient and kind.... not knowing that they could have been ready to scream. Nevertheless, I have been home a year now and I still watch episodes of my favorite shows, without interruption and back-to-back thanks to TV -Video. I have recommended at least 14 other people and include the URL in the information packets I give to students who are going away for the first time. My European friends have asked for the URL and trust me.... TV-Vid in several info packs I pass on to students. The Forum, the FAQ... what can I say.... you guys have been "johnny-on-the-spot". You have made numerous improvements to the quality of your product, interact professionally, friendly and just down to earth with us. You guys have made me and I'm sure everyone else feel apart of this product. You take our suggestions to heart and in asking us how to improve, simply means that you value our concerns and opinions -- this my friend is so very important. Now there are some flaws, but the good out way the bad any day of the week. Thanks for letting me sound off. Thanks

    Happy Holidays! I am enjoying VIPTV. It is a great website. I would suggest that in the 'Viewing History' section, there would be a place to input the name of the show and it would bring up all of that show that you have previously watched. Sometimes I do not watch the shows in order, or want to go back and watch new episodes from a series, but can never figure out where I last watched without going through 45 pages of shows. Maybe there is already an area for that, but I have just not figured it out yet. But, the site is great and I am loving it. Karen

    Happy Anniversary! I am forever grateful for the friend who told me about your site. It was like a dream come true- all my favourite shows, in the correct language! The thing is- shows here are always dubbed and I hate it. Jokes are not funny anymore, the actor does not fit to the voice at all........ or they use a voice that also speaks another actor and suddenly they sound alike etc. Here, it was all just a mouseclick away, all my favourites are here, anytime. No more programming a vcr and then fast forwarding through tons of commercials. Not waiting an entire SEASON to see "new" episodes. I love it here. I discovered many shows that I may never have caught over here on tv. Actually, I do not even own a tv anymore. Here is to many more happy years!

    I love TV.NET and VIPTV.NET As another member so eloquently stated, this place is a life saver! I discovered it quite by accident looking for a site to watch the Simpsons! I not only found them but I found this GREAT place! Thank you a million times over for it's creation! A Belated Merry Christmas and a sincere Happy New Year! Suzanna

    Happy Anniversary and thanks for all you do to make this site what it is today! Being so far away from home in another country, this site gives me the opportunity to keep me connected with my roots, not to mention the forum members who make me feel like part of the family. Now more than ever, with a young daughter, I cherish the little free time I get to cut out for myself, and this site gives me a chance to sit back, relax and live outside of myself for a minute, watching shows I can no longer see (in original language at least!) overseas. In a nutshell: VIPtv net makes me feel at home. Thanks for everything!!!!!! Many more happy, healthy and productive years to all!
    Author: slade01    Time: 12-29-2009 14:58     Subject: keep up the great work!

    Happy Anniversary to all who work so hard keeping this site updated!! This site is great and I spend 'way' too much time watching all the shows and when I'm not, then I am waiting for them to be aired so I can watch them. The only issue I have is how much there is to watch. I find myself spending too long on here and am not spending as much time as I should on my uni work, this should though be seem as a big positive for the site. I found this site, when it was in its original form. I am so please with all the improvements since it became VIP. The site listens to its members and is quick to act to implement their sugestions, and I hope this is maintained in the coming year. I agree with previous posts that a thread stating the fixed errors, or an edit of the original post stating that t is fixed, would be better so that we are able to prevent the wasting of points only to find out the error has not been fixed yet. I also think that a search option on the viewing history would help as then we would be able to see all the viewed, or at least the latest, episode/s viewed.

    Happy New Year Everyone! I just wanted to say thank you for a great site! I've been a member for about two years, I think. I love the VIP and tv-video sites. The moderators are always quick to correct things when I've had a problem. I've recommended the site to several of my friends and will continue to be a member for a long time to come. I miss having the forum comments on the VIP home page, so I could check in whenever I saw a comment that interested me. Keep up the great job!

    Happy New Year!! I have been a member of this site for just over 2 years. I spend a lot of time here. It is like my home away from home. The shows keep me company while I make my handmade cards (my hobby that keeps me sane). I have absolutely no complaints about friendvista, viptv and/or online games. There have been awesome quizzes, interesting threads and generally interesting reads. I appreciate the hard work of all the mods and thank you for it. I look forward to another fun year.

    Hello to everyone. I have been using this site for a short time and have just recently created my own account. I was normal watching with a friend using they account. Anyway, I know I started my account after dec 25 and dont qualify for this but I would just like to say also that this site is wonderful. I dont know where else I could find all of these great shows and with such great quality. It has helped me to also brush up on my english . Thanks so much. I also think that this forum is a great way to comunicate with other members. I dont know how long this site has been online but you all are doing great work. Thank you for all the hard work and for all of the great shows. Happy New Year Everyone!!
    Author: FlaminAnglia    Time: 1-2-2010 01:20     Subject: Happy New Year

    Just to say thanks for the site. Easily the best TV site around by miles. Have been a member for ages but rarely have any reason to post as if there is a problem the information is always at hand. The site just gets better and better and I agree with the earlier posting about shows being added so quickly these days from original transmission date. Keep up the sterling work. We would be lost without you.
    Author: carlorica    Time: 1-4-2010 06:50

    Happy Anniversary!! This has been a great Site. I love being able to watch shows that I can not get In Canada and when I can I participate in the Quizzes. I know that other have criticized this site but you all put alot of work into it and this is very much appreciated. I also have to agree with codebreaker and bala that some where we need a place to be able to look when a bad ep has been fixed. It can get a little frustrating when you see an error and have to click again later to only get the same problem. I also want to suggest that we be able to sort or search our view history by show so that we can see what the last thing is we watched of something. This would come in handy when a show takes a break and then comes back. I know quizzes are alot of fun and take alot of time to do so I will not suggest more of them as the mods do an awesome job at keeping this place clean. The games side of this is alot of fun. I did play on it alot but have to admit that i do not play much on it any more. The only reason is that I do not have the time to play and watch things and get things done at home. The games are alot of fun but as bala has suggested they are getting to be a little boring also. In closing I want to thank everyone again for all your hard work and to say that the show side of things is great and could only use a little modification to make it even better. Happy Birthday and more more to come

    I have found that the live CSS support does not seem to work, there have been several occasions where I have tried to gain assistance through it and no one has been on the receiving end, even though it claims to be live. I think maybe shows which are only 20 mins in length (such as sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory) could maybe be only 1 point (at the very least the older seasons maybe) as it seems unfair to be able to watch something twice in length for the same points. I also think maybe once a month we could have a season of one or two of the older shows available for free that would be quite good, so it isn't just new shows that are free. Other than that, no complaints from me, other than the point situation (being charged more than once for clicking on a show)
    Author: LaveticusPrime    Time: 1-4-2010 16:31     Subject: Reply 1#1 lbjedward's post

    Wow. Super. I´m glad I was able to submit this in time. A chance for extra points just for writing about how much I love this site? I can´t miss out on this. First, I would like to say - !!Happy 3rd Anniversary FriendVista!! - You don´t look a day over 2 years old. Also I would like to say that I wish everyone the best in 2010. Happy New Year All Year! I believe I have always been vocal on how great this site is and will try not to make this too long. The quality of this site can´t and should not be missed. I found this site around two and a half years ago and my life has not been the same since. I am an american living in Europe and therefore I have really no chance to see many of my favorite shows old and new except for online. I also would not be able to discover and enjoy so many new shows that have started since I left the U.S(although I do get to visit). This site grants me a piece of home that I can count on. Plus, the site is constantly growing and improving in so many ways that I am constantly impressed. I know we are encouraged to be suggestive on this and all so if I must suggest something, I guess it would be that we become able to convert our points to VIP cards direct from the forum(perhaps in the point conversion section) so that we can maybe give them to new members we refer to the site so they can enjoy the site fully from the beginning or even just as gifts from member to member. That would be pretty cool. Sorry, but I honestly have no criticisms. I really tried to think of some. There are many luxuries offered here that I believe some members may take for granted. Like say the addition of new shows on a constant basis. We´re even notified on upcoming shows to be added and even when we can generally expect them to be added. That is very rare. Also, the forum is extremely vast. There are even sections of the forum that I have yet to experience like the "games bar". I do participate in the quizzes but that is just a very small part of that games section of the forum. My personal obsession however is tv shows - and here they are endless. Sure, there are a lot of sites on the web that offer shows, but none and I mean NONE of them have the level of excellence and diligence displayed by this site. From the pursuit and dedication of having every episode of every season of every show offered - and in great quality, to this amazing forum full of fun, interesting and thoughtful members, information, easy access, and an administration that prides themselves on listening to and taking care of their members as well as demanding something from its members that other forums fall far short of demanding....courtesy and respect from everyone and to everyone. No matter what differences we may or may not have, I have always felt that we here are all one big family and that can only be credited to the administrators and moderators setting the example and us gracious members taking the cue. I honestly have never seen a forum where so many members, mods and admins go out of their way to be so helpful to one another. I have said it before and I will say it here once again. This site is the perfect example of how any site, or business for that matter, should be operated and maintained. Thank you to everyone from the admins, mods, and anyone else responsible for this site and also to all of our great, helpful, courteous members who make this site and forum what it is today and will continue to be for many anniversaries to come - the greatest video site and forum on the net - hands down. Sincerely, with great pride and gratitude, Lp

    I don't consider myself vital to this site because the site can go on without me. i just enjoy posting comments on here it's only place i have the freedom to express my opinion because i know i have an audience for my comments. When i came on here most people were posting on the viptv board and not many members took advantage tv forum so i started posting on them and you could say i never stop. You won because your comment was well written like you said it's easy to write good things about the site but not all of us are good at writing . I'm happy you won it's not bad to get 2nd place.

    Yeah, that may be right. The site could go on without any 1 of us, but since I registered in this forum, you have always been involved with various things from setting up quizzes to replying to what it seems to be every problem you have run across and made sure that any member with any issue received at least a prompt response. To a new member, that is, I believe, extremely important and appreciated. You along with a few others have helped this site maintain its customer service reputation with that kind of dedication. So I consider that pretty darn vital. ps. You are right. Second place is not bad at all. Especially when you are chillin´ with over ten THOUSAND points in your wallet. wow.

    Thank you for the points. I would gladly tell anyone how great this site is. The quality of the shows is superior to any other web site that I have tried to watch shows on. And, how many other web sites would let you win VIP points playing games, this way you can use those points to watch your favorite TV shows.. None, that I know of. If it wasn't for the games I wouldn't be able to watch all the shows that I watch. I am on a fixed income because I am elderly. You guys have worked your butts off making this a great web site and I want to thank you again for doing so. Keep up the good work!!! Granny Penny
