How to watch TV on your Computer for free! (Legally and illegally)

Hi,
In this short instructable I going to show you a compilation of my favorite legal and illegal methods of watching TV on your computer. You may be surprised of how many great tv shows you can watch on the internet for free totally legally. If you have any suggestions please feel free to leave me comment.

Step 1: Legal Method Number 1. Hulu

The first legal method and my personal favorite is Hulu. Hulu is a online web based service that allows you to many shows for free.Hulu has a wide verity of shows and movies ranging from BattleStar Galactica to Family Guy.
A Nice Feature of Hulu is that it has RSS feeds for each show.

Sadly Hulu is only available in the US currently (to my knowledge.)

hi I want to see Pakistani channels.What can i do?

[ivanjacob]

Hi other LEGAL methods would be to download the "readontv" player software which gives you well over 3000 channels direct to your PC free, live from al around the world. This piece of software is COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. True doing some GOOGLE SEARCHES for "readontv player" to find out where to download it from.

Also, for people who live within the United Kingdom, like myself, another good way to watch many live FREE TV CHANNELS ONLINE is to watch Freeview TV from a website called "tv catchup.com" You have to register your e-mail and create a password for this site, BUT this is all TOTALLY FREE, and watching CHANNELS here is TOTALLY FREE also.

There is yet ANOTHER FREE PC TV PLAYER I found recently which you need to DOWNLOAD YOURSELF FIRST FOR FREE. This is called. "mytvpal player", but once installed ALSO enables you to watch PC TV ONLINE completely free.

I hope I've helped some people out there who weren't too sure how to watch multi-channels via there PC totally for FREE? :)

Last time I log onto the Fancast, Hulu have less free content then they had in the past.

Here's the thing, there is not way to actually watch all of the shows you want unless you do it illegally. I know most people won't actually want to do it illegally so the best ways to actually get tons of shows and channels is to buy something. Sorry but its true. I have a program on my computer that gets like 3000 channels and it's very cheap for a one time fee. Check it out.

Another torrent site that has a good selection of shows is The Pirate Bay

[Galas]

Well, honestly, the best way to watch tv on your pc that i've found is on this website

www.watchonlinetvfrompc.com

It's not a free program, but it's not really costly for all you get and it work pretty good

[shantae]

To watch US TV legally outside the US the only solution I can find is

www.mytv2me.com

Reason it is legal is because you have your own TV subscription which you are accessing remotely using a hosted slingbox

I must concur!

[TVGuy]

A lot of the networks have started streaming their shows, but most have interfaces that I don't like, I think HULU is the best. -tv guy www.iWatchItOnline.com

Are you put off by the cost of cable or satellite tv? Now you can just pay49.5$,a one-time fee less than one month of your monthly cable bill, and watch your favorite TV shows all your time. It’s a big save ,no need to have statellite dish ,receiver or any other equipments ,all you need is a computer and an internet connection . Here you can check out more in this site ：

I did not read the other replies but Winamp offers a video/tv streamer. It shows movies and cartoons like family guy. There is also porn on there for those who are inclined.

Having a heck of a time downloading, could it be due to Windows Vista? All sites just keep saying "loading video". Thanks in advance!

[joejoerowley]

I'm not sure. check to see if your ports are forwarded on your router correctly... Sorry for the delay. ~Joe
