wired.com — It was the ultimate challenge for any lifelong TV watcher. Wired News asked me to cut the coax cable snaking into my HD-ready television, and for 30 days rely solely on legally available internet content to satisfy the video entertainment needs of my family of five.

There are some websites that offer you to watch online channels in your browser like <a class="user" href="http://www.chooseandwatch.com/">http://www.chooseandwatch.com/</a>Still not as good as normal TV, but not bad. Most of this websites agregate links from many internet TV stations.

I haven't had cable since 2000. Rabbit ears + Internet = more money for beer.

Incessant channel surfing is like a nervous tick. And it's brutal on anyone else in the room - the only person not being jerked around is the one with the clicker in hand. And one tends to miss the continuation of the intended show.It's the mute button I hit during commercials. Not only because I'm not interested, not only because a great deal of them are offensive; but also because these days the commercials are annoyingly louder than the programming!We survive on the barest-bones cable package - that's it.

Yes, that was the case where I used to live. No options other than expensive/unreliable satellite.

I couldn't agree more! I noticed that too since I killed my TV- I always took it for granted that commercials bent the truth to get us to buy stuff, but when you get away from the brainwashing for a while, you start to realize that a lot of what they say are outright lies.

After testing various TV software and visiting loads of sites. most of them offer a free trial or preview and then they make you pay to sign up, or are cluttered with ads. I think that is ridiculous... so ive done my research and have found a couple of really decent sites. The first one Id like to draw your attention to is (viewmy.tv) This site has almost 1300 channels from around the globe and counting. it is free to register and they dont ask for stupid details, just your username and email address. It actually streams live channels so you dont have to download any and they have a pretty easy way of finding the channel you want. You can search through genre, country, region or name of the channel. oh and there are no ads either. Check this one out. With over 1300 channels from hundreds of countries, loads of features like channel rating, user recommendations, live chat, profile pages and much much more.
