- onebigword, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I don't get it. It seems to work, but it doesn't seem legal.
- shawnanigans, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It might be illegal one day if Ted Stevens gets what he wants. You see the tubes might get filled and it could take 2 days for the internet to be sent to him.
- Lorian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Is HDTV the new buzz word? These videos have lower res than standard definition (720x576 for PAL).
- mjenkins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Spice and HBO feeds - that can't be legal. But until I hear it is illegal, there's a few channels there that I may watch that Comcast doesn't provide...
- XAsmodeaNX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No idea, I'm using Ubuntu and mplayer with all the codecs and it works great :)
- nj10ii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Try getting a PC then!
- Submerge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://www.channelking.com
Another IPTV provider I found. - kloud213, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FREE PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thanks for the http://www.channelking.com link
- kloud213, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1feed it to VLC and it should work... the stream is windows media player
- bad_vlad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Couldn't get it to work with fire fox 2.0 - but worked fine in IE..
- surfing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I agree
- Weaselboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No worky on the Mac.
- dnthomps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good advice kloud213.. Launch the popup> View Source> Search for mms> Copy the mms address> open VLC> File> Open Network Stream> Http,???,mms> paste the mms address. Most work. Some don't.
- dnthomps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think it is legal either. I pulled this from the Help section though:
Q: Is this legal?
A: Yes, these broadcasts are provided freely by their respective owners, we claim no right to the content that is broadcasted. - sych0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1sooooo... this is basically identical to channelchooser.com
- tsoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0windvr is good for capturing streams...
- frem001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1doesn't seem to work for me, probably the digg effect. so what format is it in?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1who here has got it to work on a mac?
- tsoh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1channelchooser.com sucks...
- tsoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the hd channels are choppy...you have to keep pushing play, but it could be my vonage and orb slurping the bandwidth too...
- JudgeMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kinda tough to capture the stream when I seem unable to access the URL for it.
Anyway, it seems worth noting that things like sci-fi channel is not THE sci-fi channel, but instead a channel that seems to show old sci-fi movies, either very cheap or free to lisence. I assume the rest of the streams are just like that. Not saying that that's a bad thing at all, but it would legitimize the service.
Couldnt tell what was on, say HBO movies. The stream hardly worked. The movie didnt look too recent, or maybe high profile though. Couldnt say. - skatmand, on 09/09/2008, -0/+0Tjek out the live TV / VLC page at

Great quality live stream - dude3609, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1nothing like streaming HDTV over dsl while handling a digg effect. Either way the whole 'HDTV' thing is crap. High quality: yes, HD: no. plus theres only 2 high quality channels.
But at least theres an upside to this website, and thats that some of the channels dont suck.
HBO Movies 1 & 2, espn, fox, etc. :D - ifoundmccomb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its works on my g3 ibook and t1 connection at work. if you don't have flip4mac, you probably won't get most channels. have not tried vlc, which is my general favorite for media files on the mac. some channels work better than other, i assume from digg and others (i saw this on netscape.com, dont ask) the performance is not at its best. but all things considered it is still a sweet thing. some channels work great, some don't, luckily the better ones have (pron =P) worked for me. so no i won't be getting a pc. thnx.
- meetaswin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i tried it with ubuntu and it worked fairly well.....the last time i saw HBO2, they were playing jurassic park III
- jmarkuso, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That's ridiculous....there are no viruses on the site. It's a free content provider, why would they put viruses on it? You are obviously an idiot and don't know how sites like this work.
- killersilver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great idea, since i don't live in USA it would be great for me to watch these streams of American Channels, but i still can't get it to work, i can hear it but i can't watch it. I have all the latest codecs installed, Divx, Xvid, etc, and i also tried on IE (My primary browser is Firefox). Obviously is the latest Windows Media Player version too.
- sicksand, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0can anyone hack it and put it like TVUPlayer
- taalais, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0More online TV channels:
http://www.wwitv.com -more than 1500 TV channels
http://www.lordoftv.com -top 100 tv channels - jaywalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0works for me. quality is awesome in the hdtv channels. Now only to find a stream ripper. any suggestions?
- surfing, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I don't agree
- webranger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I run retrovision.tv, which is a place that most of these stream sites that steal content get the content they steal. It was said above that this is material is made available freely by the webmasters. Nope. My site clearly states in it's terms of service that this hot-linking is not permitted. That makes it copyright infringement and it is actionable by the DMCA.
I suggest that you guys running these TV sites that hotlink should buy your own servers and pay your own bandwidth bills.
Is this legal?. Nope. And if I find an advantage in pursuing legal action, I will.

only the best TV channels, works great, fast streams, a lot of good xxx channels - Zaki, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Watch out for the viruses plaguing the site.
- tejro, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Yet another free TV website...
There are so many better service out there... just to name a few:
www.streamick.com
www.live-online-tv.com
www.channelchooser.com
The HDTV channel there isn't even theirs: the stream source comes from www.hdtv1.cz and its just a czech test channel.
Anyway it's all legal, all the channels are available for free on their own websites, even the HBO channels from taiwan..
