Watch TV for Free - Part 3
Update: Watch TV for Free - Part 4 is now available here
Free TV Web sites have always fascinated me. How they manage to stay up and running is beyond me. I do believe this is the wave of the future however, as I absolutely hate watching TV in the living room simply because it means I have to endure hours of commercials.
I much prefer to watch great online content, that is commercial free! Below are some great web sites that are going forgotten since the whole "YouTube" frenzy caught on! Although I do agree YouTube is by far the best of the sites, the sites below should not go un-noticed as some content here you will not find on YouTube!
Zango is actually a very interesting site in that it attempts to resolve copyright issues. It allows people to post advertisements along with their published content. Zango calls this "content economy". Zango also employs time-of-day technology to ensure that it is displaying the right type of advertisements, at the right time of day. See, I don't mind advertisements personally if they make sense to what I'm looking for at the time.

Some of the best episodes of Frontline are available for free online right now! A great video I just finished watching is "Kim's Nuclear Gamble" created back in 2003.

So for all of the sites I have covered, it involves the web sites being up and running, and using their sometimes flaky web pages. Multiple clicks and page loads do tend to annoy me. Instead, download and watch all the best Internet TV shows in one powerful application: any video RSS feed, video podcast, video blog, or BitTorrent file. Fullscreen, high resolution, 100% free and open source. New channels arrive daily in the built-in Channel Guide.http://www.getdemocracy.com/
Provides categorized free tv watching through categories like movies, news, music, entertainment, business, sports, etc. being a little bit of an organizational nut myself, I love having everything easy to find and access, which is not the case with some other free tv web sites.
http://www.streamick.com
This site differs from other free tv sites by offering cartoons and Anime. It also has categories such as Asian Television, Independent TV, Comedy, and the World Cup of Soccer. They currently boast over 10,000 videos online. They do however simply organize the content for you, as most of their videos are hosted on YouTube.

No list would be complete without mentioning the company that started not even a year ago in December 2005, and just recently sold to Google for for an estimated 1.65 billion dollars. This site has absolutely everything you would ever want online. Some of my favorite searches are: Russell Peters, The Evolution of Dance, and Super Mario Brothers. This site would literally keep you busy for the rest of your life! Next time you miss a piece of a tv show, or miss an interview, check it out on YouTube, it will be there!

Channelchooser is a free tv portal that is very nicely designed from a user interface perspective. It loads extremely quick, and has a very clean easy to use navigation system. Another plus is the channels: HBO, MTV, Comedy Central, ESPN, etc.
http://www.channelchooser.com
Of course one of the best ways you can watch TV on the Internet, like HBO, ESPN, and CNN is to download software that allows you to do this. You can get Satellite TV for PC, Elite Edition here. It’s by far the best software I have found, and will save you a lot of headaches.
Well there you have it! Some of the best, top quality sites for you to watch free TVon the Internet! This is part three in a series of articles I have published. If you would like to view the complete list, here it is:
- Watch TV for Free - Part 4

- Watch TV for Free - Part 2
- Watch TV for Free - Part 1
