More then 3000 TV Channels now Online

Dec. 1st, 2006 By Kaly

Thanks to so called web TV aggregators now we have convenient online access to thousands real TV channels such as NBC, ABC, ESPN, BBC1 and many more, organized in categories and in some cases even ranked by users, and all completely free. These directory like websites that do nothing more then collect and organize free to access channels from tv networks, started to get quite popular. And since what’s popular belongs here I selected some of the major ones and briefly compared them below

Note: To stream most of the channels without any lag you’ll need in my opinion at least 500kbps connection speed, which shouldn’t be a problem for most of European and US folks.

Channel Directory Number Of Channels Language SignUp? free? Full Screen Mode My Rating
1820 International No yes yes 4
313 English only No 3
700 English, Dutch and Hindi No 5
250 English only Partially 3
151 English only No 5
Live-Online-TV.com 120 International No 4

.

As long as your connection is good you shouldn’t experience any problems with playing stuff, in case you’re try following;

  • close all programs and downloads that may keep you connection busy
  • if Windows Media Player is set as default .wmv player make sure you have latest version (latest version)
  • firefox users – ActiveX may be needed
  • Mac OSX(Safari) – click here to install Flip4Mac.
  • Linux : install mozilla-mplayer and w32codecs

There is a big need for a list of narrowband streaming video sites as well. Do you have any plans to do something like this for the mobile community? if so we would like to help.

@Jason
It’s not bad but there is no I would consider it the best one. Why?
(1) Not that many channels
(2) Some channels can be viewed only from the source site

I think this is one of site place which provides latest information about latest tv shows and download full TV Shows with just goose egg cost. i m just telling about this site place because i had already use sites mentioned by you all. which only watch online tv shows and if some one download then cost for that is too much and quality also not too good. Now site which i m telling about is my reliable site place and recommend every buddy to use this site place download-tvshows.com/
