  • fober, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Why would I need this when I've got GoogleTV?

    Thanks Mark Erickson!!!
  • rd3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13"I got GoogleTV to work after 347640633 tries"
  • Cable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why are all the shows 4:3?
  • WarpFox, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8all those craiglist ads? flagged as spam :)
  • wonderboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Live? The ESPN channel had a show on from close to 8 months ago.
  • kanja42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Making a seperate TAB for it should solve this problem.
  • ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+3Thanks for the warning, but that doesn't really constitute for a burying.
  • pinkSocks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sweet, it carries Al Jazeera.
  • god4twenty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Fix for firefox on vista: http://fixmypc.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/play-windows-media-player-videos-in-windows-vista-using-firefox/
  • kanja42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Doesn't seem to work with vista/wmp11 in firefox or IE...anyone have a fix?

    On a side note google customized home is awesome. I was just talking about how awesome it was when this story popped up on the top of the digg gadget. :)

  • str3ama, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1blah it's a 4 by 3 px version of http://www.freetube.us.tc
    plus the load time and lag that it will take to load up the google personalized page. Part of the reason why people use the personalized google page is so that they eliminate clutter, this is essentially pointless. If people want to watch tv, they'd just go to one of those tv sites or youtube.
  • VVCephei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, those channels suck.. what the ***** is "rathergood tv" suppost to be? Let me guess.. "A rather good channel", well if that were true it wouldnt be on the internet!
  • Yage2006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The chans like cnn seem to stop on there own after 10 min or so . Or maybe that is a bug in firefox ?
  • crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Just ban him, for all we know those aren't his CL ads, he's just trying to get someone else's account banned on CL. Just ban the douche and be done with it.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I found this was great... for about 10 minutes. It really gets annoying when my frequent Google visits are always subjected to buffering and intrusive audio.

    If only it could be set not to start automatically...
  • dburanen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't get it to work in linux. I have the mediaplayerconnectivity plugin for firefox and I've tried vlc and totem to no avail in Ubuntu Feisty. Anyone have ideas? Looks like they are mms:// streams.
  • Bullsnot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They didnt have enough letters. Its really something to watch "rather then good tv".
  • Grimace421, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This would be cool if it was really live tv... or even RECENT TV...

    ...the ESPN channel was talking about Donavon McNabb beating the Raiders IN THE PRE-Season..

    Aug. 6, 2006... Over 7 months ago...
  • spectatorr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Worked for CNN, but keeps crashing now that I've changed the channel to MSNBC, using Firefox on a Mac. Insert "I'm a Mac, I'm an MSNBC" joke here.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is this live or recorded?

    edit: Nvm, guess not.
  • toolbartv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi, i love ...::: http://toolbartv.com :::... where You can watch live sport events, full movies, tv shows, 250 t stations and more.
  • mcrosby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Buried as I've tried adding this content to my page twice now, and even though it does add, it deletes my second google ig tab. If you are using tabs, be warned!
  • hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1america free tv

    Night of the Living Dead just started (click QT under unicast)
  • Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Some jokes, while fake, are quite precocious.
  • myfanwy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hmm, can't find the cricket....
  • cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Use TVU Player. Works great, albeit it's a usually 30 seconds to a minute late... (Not so good for sports, if you want to know instantly...).

    There are also a few movie channels, a Family Guy channel... I think there's a porn one as well. Eh. China.
  • bloodydiamond, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I guess it's not real live tv...
    but this is real, http://www.livetvcenter.com
  • hitman001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here is a couple of site where you can find lots of TV channels live beelinetv.com and www.wantena.com.
    Beeline is a neat site but I like wantena.com more because it has a lot more channels and you can search for channels as well.
  • dmitriyvoz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I found this was great... for about 10 minutes. It really gets annoying when my frequent Google visits are always subjected to buffering and intrusive audio.
    If only it could be set not to start automatically... The same theme on Russian sites: http://pivo.in.ua http://www.alcogol.kiev.ua

  • LilTricky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yup, i have a custom Google homepage and its kickass, once you look into all the stuff that google really has, some of it are really useful, and i guess this is a another koo lil gadget
  • cavalon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Or just Edit -> Autoplay -> Off?
  • Blogoholic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Hell Yeah, I have added it and I'm watching it now. Works great!

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Very Ugly.
  • revmitcz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Kinda surprised it wasn't mentioned, but there's also a live 24/7 music video (and IPTV) station Google gadget for MusicPlusTV.com if anyone cares : http://musicplustv.com/
