Watch TV online

A post by Lifehacker reminded, as overwhelmed, me about the possibilities you have in ways of watching television online. Many times you can choose to watch your shows at the time of your choice, and there are also a large amount of free streaming channels to choose from. I have quoted Lifehackers list of excellent choices:

1. YouTube: Gorge yourself on the media offerings at YouTube, everything from home movies to TV shows to movie clips and oh, so much more. Many times I've found the exact segment of a show that I missed later on YouTube; for example, the infamous Tom Cruise and Oprah incident.
   
2. PBS Frontline: Missed that Frontline episode? No worries - you can watch it online. In fact, PBS has quite a few shows that you can watch online - just use this search string in Google to find them: site:http://www.pbs.org/ "watch online" -frontline.
3. ChannelChooser: A free online TV portal with hundreds of channels to choose from, all streaming.
4. wwITv.com: An " independent guide to online streaming media available on the web." Channels available from all over the world here.
5. Democracy Internet TV: watch TV online via the free Democracy Internet TV viewing platform. Over 600 different channels available.
6. Jeff's Guide to "TV Shows Only Available on the Internet": one of the best places to find a good show; I'm a fan of "Happy Tree Friends" especially.
7. Yahoo TV: you can watch clippings and episode trailers here, but not much more than that. However, this is a good place to watch snippets from upcoming shows.
   
8. AOL in2tv: free episodes of your favorite classic TV shows, anything from Gilligan's Island to the People's Court.
   
9. BBC: You can watch the BBC news from London online every day of the week, anytime; another way to find BBC online streaming or archived programs is using this search string in Google: site:http://www.bbc.co.uk/ "watch online".
   
10. Choose and Watch: a free TV portal with hundreds of channels, including Fox News, ABC, Comedy Central, and much more.
    
11. Live Online TV: Hundreds of channels to choose from here.
    
12. Streamick: Nicely categorized into topics such as News, Sport, Entertainment, etc. This is live, streaming TV.
    
13. PeekVid: watch over 7000 shows online. I've found Desperate Housewives here, as well as Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and X-Files. Yes, Mulder - we believe.
    
14. SingingFish: You can use SingingFish to search for both video content AND audio; just take advantage of the filtering options. I've found some good podcasts this way as well as video (Kermit the Frog, baby!).
    
15. Google Video: There's a wealth of content here, from comedy to music videos to movie trailers.
    
16. Yahoo! Video Search: You have quite a few ways to search for videos at Yahoo! Video Search; try the tabs (Tags, Favorites, Popular, etc.), but I would also highly recommend the Advanced Search page in order to really filter your results.
