How To Watch TV Online - For Free
YouTube is getting all the hype, but it's a far cry from the immersive, long-form esc..., er, entertainment offered 24-hours-a-day on broadcast networks around the world. Unfortunately, broadcast moves on a broadcast schedule, and while PVRs such as TiVO let to time-shift your prime-time lineup, they need you to know what you want to record before it airs.
Through the miracle of the Internet, you can now combine the on-demand satisfaction of YouTube with the boob-tube fix of broadcast programs. Joost, a free service available for both Mac and a PC, gives you access to more than 250 channels of programing from providers such as CBS, Comedy Central, and MTV. This is television if the future. It just happens to be on right now. Watch the video to see how it works and learn how to tune in.

This is rapidly becoming a big trend among younger generation not wanting to pay cable or sattelite bill, and get any channel they want in the world sitting in front of their computers.

Hell yeah! I dont mind the adverts but i dont want to spent a shed tonne of cash on a HD tv when i can view it on my laptop from any location. This is the future and its about time that the tv stations get on board!

HULU is a lot better with more contemporary programing selection from the 3 major broadcasters(NBC,ABC,Fox) They also have a few selection of movies which arent really great but are decent. Honestly though I dont have cable and some of my fav shows are shown next day on HULU(New Amsterdam, Battlestar Gallactica)
