Live (and not live) streaming audio and video for all of your TV needs. All you need is newer versions of real player and windows media player.
http://www.wwitv.com is the best site I've seen so far.
I usually stick to a jap station that has some decent shows.

Ryan that was perfect.
I have nothing but h8 for Windows Media Player and I want to fucking stab whoever is in charge of Real Player. Winamp has tv stations but they all either suck or are full. And I can't be bothered figuring out that site. So as far as I'm concerned, regular television is the best.
But thanks for sharing that with the class.

I don't watch TV on the computer partly because the best connection I've ever gotten is 50.6 kbps. The curse of the dial-up modem is overwhelming.

you can watch the super mario brothers super show on the computer, and that's all that really matters.

If winamp can steam asx and ram files then it should work as well.
The link to the main jap channel I check out is

i have like 4 or 5 vhs tapes. the live action segments are the best, my favorite episode is when shabba doo comes over and mario and luigi dance. you can watch these episodes on yahooligans tv however it was all choppy for me because i have 56k. SOMEDAY......
Computers of course.

Hello. This is my philosophy speech.
I demand that one should better watch TV on a faster computer. Most of you have got TV cards or fibre-optic modem cables, so this proves you can.
[b]Pro: [/b]You can record TV programming.
[b]Con: [/b]It cannot work on computers under 450 MHz.
[b]Pro: [/b]You can scan for channels more easily
[b]Con: [/b]The picture has both a pixelar blur and a motion blur.
This means: It is equalised. You must not care if you should use TV sets more than computers to watch TV or vice versa, [b]NQED[/b].
I've also discovered the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything: the Universe is created so that there could be living beings and so that they could have a nice time here. And the answer, 42, means that they have 42000000000000000000000000 years to spend nicely.

If it weren't for these forums, I wouldn't know about 42. Science fiction is for fags.
