Watch Television on Your Computer - Comments Page 1

That way Cool.. will have to try that. Watch tv in one corner of the screen and while you work !!

dear bob ; there are many websites that for $30 - 50 offer 3000 - 5000 tv channels from all over the world that can be watched on a computer . does it work ? is it legal and is it safe to purchse one such programme ? also where do i find the sites that offer free tv shows ? thank you .

Well, I came to Internet to avoid TV. And now this.... :-(

I'm inclined to agree with Rahul. Most of the programming on TV is either very biased (network news) or mindless! My wife likes basketball, but I watch only a very few shows each week.

You can only watch ABC etc if you live in the USA. Is this something to do with copyright? I wonder if you guys can watch the excellent programmes the BBC makes available on it's BBC iplayer?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Do they block access to their site from non-USA users? We can see the BBC stuff here in the USA.

Beware of PCTV4Me... The program is a piece of shi--

In one of your earlier articles you talked about Hulu and Joost. Because of this article, I have tried both and like them. I found that Hulu may not have as many programs available, but, for my setup, they produce a much better looking picture, on my LCD Monitor. I LOVE watching my Babylon 5 series and you can watch it pretty much in the order, they were originally shown in.

The best part of those two websites, are that they are FREE!!! Plus, to date, I haven't gotten any SPAM from them.

Thanks again, Bob. As if I didn't have enough free TV on my PC. I now have HULU,(thanks to you). I just finished viewing the movie, "The Return Of A Man Named Horse". No flaws, no hassle, excellent resolution and free. However, because you introduced HULU to me, my wife, who's name starts with an "S" I'm pretty sure, is going to kill your puppies...Sorry about that.. Thanks, though.

EDITOR'S NOTE: So find a show on Hulu that you both like! I'll keep a close eye on the dogs for a few days...

I watch a few programs on the computer, zattoo is quite good, sometimes the picture breaks up but its free and dont't forget to register first.

Have watched tv now for over 10 years using ATI-All-In-Wonder card. Very difficult keeping up with AMD updates due to having to uninstall/re-install all components when required. Now use PCI Express ATI TV Wonder usb. Excellent set-up and operation for only $100.00. No fees and receive all my ISP/Cable company provides within the broadband regular monthly fee!
