Assuming you still have an internet connection... why not? :)

Well, guess TCP/IP is out, but maybe TV and radio broadcasts would still function.

Light (read: any electromagnetic wave) cannot escape a black hole beyond the event horizon. Therefore this wouldn't work.
Just have Anne toss you DVDs of Game of Thrones from outside the event horizon.

Couldn't Anne just beam an electromagnetic wave of TV/radio into the black hole to you, though? Nothing will be escaping the black hole.
but it can go in. You can still watch TV
