Those who want to watch HD films and television on the cheap, as in free, need to check out HitBliss. The new service lets you watch television shows and movies in exchange for watching commercials. Watching commercials on the site gives users credits that can then be spent on downloading new and old TV shows and movies. It takes about 10 minutes of watching commercials to download one film.
HitBliss lets you skip commercials you don't find relevant, using this data to send you more targeted content in the future. The site also knows when you've opened another application or when you've turned your volume off, making it tough to game the system, prompting you to watch the entire thing. HitBliss is currently only available in the U.S.
