how do you watch anything on this site.

What exactly is your problem? (and I don't mean that in an obnoxious way, I actually want to know what the problem is. :D) To watch videos, you go the show's page, click on the title of the one you want to see, click to search for links, and then click direct link to get to the site. (Personally, I usually just use this site for the news and TV schedule, and go to watch-series.com to actually watch the episode. But this site gets new episodes faster.)

depends on what link you click. some links (f.e. itunes store) are for buying videos.some links, (f.e. tv-stations own streaming) are for US citizens onlysome links (rest) are semilegal/illegal (depending on where you live) and might or might not have been taken down already. I personally download the video from my favorite release-groups website, watch it and delete it afterwards.This spares me the trouble of finding a streaming-site that has a decent quality, speed and a working player whilst having the same (or shorter) preloading time. For me, those links, combined with "my playlist" are the 2 most useless features of sidereel and if there was a chance to turn those features off completely, i would be the first to do so. But for keeping track of your series and to remember when each episode launches, sidereel just rocks.
