Online Television Streaming Site

[JusMe]

I don't bother myself with online tv, as torrents provide me with more than I can find the time to see.

But I know some people want it, and I just came across a site which apparently permits access to many channels and programs. I haven't checked it out myself at all - as I said, I'm not much interested in streaming video - but others might take a look and see if it's worth spending any time. All free, by the way.

If this info has been posted already, sorry. I haven't searched as again, don't use this stuff myself.

I agree...torrents are the way to go...especially with the lousy internet speeds we get here. I tried online TV before, and it stutters a lot. Drives ya nuts!

rapidshare + US based slingbox...yikes, I've worn out two computer chairs!

Ha, I can barely stream internet radio on my True 8Mbps connection. TV, your joking.

Especially HD.

It's not really HD, but actually pretty good, needs a solid 2Mbps to work well. Try the free download.

At 10 bucks a month (without xxx) I would consider it, my main reservation is that I don't see a list anywhere of the channels they provide.

I totally agree with OP and use torrents extensively.

However, they are not much us when it comes to live sport, and particular, a five day cricket test match....

Since I changed to a 10Mpbs connection, (which gives me real speeds of about 5- 7 kpbs when tested with a Bangkok server but way under 1 mpbs with any foreign server), my radio BBC streaming is nigh on perfect (it used to stutter frequently).

I would be happy to listen to the cricket commentary on the radio but unfortunately, these live sports broadcasts are always blocked due to rights restrictions.

So my only hope is a TV streaming, so I'm looking for a good site to give it a go. I am prepared to pay if necessary.

If you Google, there are loads of sites out there, but I have no idea which ones are any good.

So if anyone can recommend a decent site I'd be obliged

It really works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a iMac 17" and TOT 6Mbs and it Works,

Only problem now is it is Live so timing for the UK is not good (who want to watch Coronation Street at 1am !! or come to think about who wants to watch Coronation Street AT ALL, EVER !!!!!!!!!!!)

Must admit after being out of the UK 5 years the quality of British TV is awful,can see why the BBC watchdog committee have just giving the BBC a year to improve OR ELSE !!!

There are good video capture programmes, so you could watch Corrie, or whatever,

later when you want to see it.

When you download the player you get a complete list of available channels and also when you go to a certain channel say BBC1 you also get a program guide.

Well worth testing and it is totally free to try NO credit card required.

This is different than TVU player and other software like that which is totally free?

Works all right for me for BBC 1 but none of the other channels stream properly for me. Probably my connection 3BB 2mb (Prem). Does yours work OK on all channels and if so what internet package are you using, maybe time for a change.

The easiset thing is if your computer has a UK IP address is to use Iplayer for live BBC channels and ITV.com for like ITV 1,2,3, and C4 an C5 on demand on there websites there is nothing better than the real thing

rapidshare + US based slingbox...yikes, I've worn out two computer chairs!

I use Rapidshare to download movies etc. Didn't know you could use it for live streaming???

I have a very strong 8-10 mb connection.....and this thing stutters every 15 seconds, has to rebuffer, even when setting buffer to high. Pass! Anyway, won't find the shows I like on it, they're all at torrentz and eztv ^^

www.myp2p.eu Works well when I am in Pattaya with a 6mb speed. Have watched several matches using this site. Not perfect but better than nothing.

Hope this helps.

"strong 8-10 Mb"? Have you measured it?
