torrentfreak.com — The Swarmplayer EZTV is experimenting with uses slightly modified torrent files (.tstream), which make it possible to stream video files using the BitTorrent protocol. This new technology allows publishers to offer video steams without having to pay for expensive bandwidth. Theoretically, you can watch all torrent files with the player

This would work really well on a private tracker.

and this is why Time Warner and Comcast want to impose hard caps on how much you can download. They have seen this coming for a while, and you better believe they will do anything to protect their precious revenue stream.

Even weirder is that when a slow-motion disaster happens to Bigfoot, he sounds like your Mom.

you should probably try the player before commenting. It prebuffers much like any other web media player so the connection speed is a nonissue. If you have a slow connection you get to start watching the show faster so the technology still works.

Oh my god.... crap, I was excited there for a bit. But it's now buffering again... meh. And now it's working! Real time w/o downloading, nice.

And if cable dies. Where are we gonna get that quality content we all love so much? If cable dies, so does the TV-torrent scene, I'm sorry to say.
