http://itv.mop.com/ - Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22This isn't cable TV, it's an aggregation of Internet news feeds. Buried. Inaccurate.
- jerrysizzler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17you're right, because a title like "compenduim of aggregate streaming video programs" would really grab that front page!
oh wait, you were just hoping for Lifetime and Oxygen, weren't you? - jerrysizzler, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17cool.
hopefully it'll be able to dodge the MPAA, RIAA, and whoever else...that is, if it survives the digg effect... - funkymonkey68, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18and completely not working.
- vniow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Ah, the monthly free cable internet video digg story...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18http://www.chooseandwatch.com/ is much much better - it also has adult channels
- sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10to check it later.
- MoladoGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8gone. but it does work similar to Comcast. It should be back up in 3hrs or maybe I gotta pay a few months ahead! Oh well!
- mitrovarr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9It won't. I have yet to see a streaming TV server that Digg (or Slashdot, Fark, or Metafilter) can't cheerfully demolish within five minutes.

- funkymonkey68, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Why are people still digging this even though the site doesn't even work...

Brilliant site! - Darthmalt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And this is the real reason I dugg this story. Not for the site itself but for the other links people were sure to post.
- Submerge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Thanks Breakpoint! Great site Bookmarked it
- DelMonte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hey camgirl, do you work for chose&watch?
Looks like it, by looking at your comment history. Your nickname is especially suspicious...
Your #1 story is: "Digg.com: news or free advertising?"
I guess for you it's free advertising? I hope you get banned... - syco123, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5How about the rooftop next to the stadium, the TV section in Best Buy, standing in the entrance of a sports bar or going to your friends house for every game and never ever contributing.
cheapskate. - Smeed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3We see something like this every week. They all suck. We are all very aware of the fact that we can get free TV.
Im holding my breath for the digg down, please feel free. - Guspaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Bah, I just want a site that offers the US SciFi network, since it's not available in Canada.
- martin77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2why would you want to watch any other news channel ?
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Every week or two there is an online TV station progam that has all these great channels like NBC and CBS etc etc... idk how this exclusive stuff leaks it aint like they broadcast their channels over the air.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3haha i'm using the internet!
- DelMonte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2camgirl, you're the loser, using digg as a spam machine... I'll make sure you get banned soon.

http://4tv.com - SwordofKahless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One wonders how they affording the bandwidth. Considering these sites are not well known I have doubts the Ads running are covering bandwidth costs.
- HardwareLust, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hmm...Digg effect already? I could only get one channel to work (ABC)
I have high hopes for this one...Sky News and BBC 24/7 would be a good thing! - MaxSteele, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You don't consider BBC One a "live streaming TV network"?
For everyone saying: "This site doesn't work".... Yeah, it does. I'm watching BBC1 *right now*. The feed has a black bar at the top showing the date and time:
7:50:13 28-11-06
And then the time in the show is showing 6:50am - obviously the feed timer is an hour off for Daylight Saving time from wherever it's capturing it from.
Is this legal? No way at all. But I'm watching morning BBC One news right now. - funkymonkey68, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It shut down aero, lame.
- fleischner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thanks maccymac!
- HardwareLust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not as much as you would "miss" watching ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/Fox "news"/etc...
- lanFlem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2For sky news try http://www.freetrube.us.tc or http://www.freetube-tv-online.uni.cc/index.html
- xamox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The interface is goidy and it uses Windows Media player. No thanks I'll pass.
- nichenet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How is it not legal? All this site, and the hundreds like it out there are doing is aggregating free internet tv streams provided by service providers, essentially in the same way Yahoo links to sites. There is a program out there called TVU (or similar) that is illegally ripping free to air and rebroadcasting it via a bittorrent like structure, but this site isn't like that at all...now if only I could get something quicker than 2mb cable so when I watch these channels I don't get buffering issues :-)
- lanFlem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Try http://www.freetube.us.tc (found via earlier digg page), it's like streamick but most of the channels seem to work on this one for me. And it has Fox/NBC - so you can watch heroes and prison break today, or on Sundays you can catch the NFL starters before Simpsons (7pm Eastern)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2site is a little spammy - for a directory it sure has lots of ads. Anyways, try this one: http://www.freetube.us.tc - click entertainment>Fox / NBC / AXN / BBC 1 / CNN / BBC News / ABC News / Al Jazeera English / CBC / CP24 (City TV Toronto) / Sci-Fi Channel (aka SPACE)
according to the news (haven't checked it out entirely), but apparently they have a "TV Guide" system that lets you know what your watching - much much better if it has this. - beerhuffer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1old.
- kevnaca, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Omg these articles are pathetic. They are not live streaming tv networks; tv networks being abc,nbc,cbs, etc., you know the usual on broadcast tv. So far the only app on the internet that can pull this off is tvu player
- deanshultz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Worked just fine for me...so far.
- aandn1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I made this list with a few working channels (mostly good news channels). Check it out here:
http://aandnb.googlepages.com/home - promixr, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0As a taxpayer and consumer of cable television I am calling on the FCC to regulate cable television providers and remove the obstacles to 'A La Carte' cable television service. Subscribers should be able to choose individual networks that they would like to subscribe to without having to buy costly 'packages.' Subscribers should also be able to discontinue channels that are included with basic packages of channels they are not watching, or whose content they deem dangerous, offensive or otherwise dissatisfying.
This change to the rules of cable television would be good for the industry:
a) it would inspire more competitive programming, stations with the most informative or enjoyable content would remain on, stations whose content is uninformative would go away.
b) Cable would become more family friendly, as parents could permanently unsubscribe from cable programming they deem unsuitable for their children, without sacrificing channels that are harmless.
c) advertisers would have a better gauge of effective programming, the networks could charge more money for ad time on most watched networks, sponsorship becomes more effective, products could be targeted more effectively.
d) consumers could make political statements through subscription, (for example, viewers who object to the propaganda they see on FOX or CNBC could switch that channel off- providing in effect a check and balance to ineffective or just plain 'wrong' media coverage, broadcasters of 'news' programming would be forced to adhere to high standards of broadcast journalism)
e) consumers would have access to a broader range of entertainment, by spending money on only the media they wish to view. A consumer currently may not subscribe to an entire expensive cable package to view the content of a particular cable channel, so that consumer is cut off from it. Cable television would benefit because while the 'packages' would go away, subscribers would make up for it in the individual variety of a la carte subscriptions. A sports nut would be turning off food networks, but adding sports channels, a sci-fi nut would be turning off children's programming, but subscribing to more movie channels, etc...
The FCC needs to overcome, through regulation, the objections of cable television lobbying groups and large media providers and serve the best interests of the consumer of media. The best and most progressive way to do this is through a La Carte cable television. - stephbites, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool put it in my favorites :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1true, but tvu doesn't rip them - users do and it comes direct from these links but its load balanced so bandwidth is better. But then again you also have the problem of installing windows only software which contains adware (note: adware not spyware). This site isn't amazing but there are better sites then this one. Try
