Because I know that FReepers are smart and ingenious I am coming to you for assistance and insight in being able to get unplugged from DirecTV. They are raising our rates again. We currently use Netflix, but are also considering adding HuluPlus. Hubby streams from his PS3 in his game room, and in the living room we stream via BlueRay. Hubby and I are trying to get details on unplugging without losing our ability to watch our favorite (cable) show. I've read numerous articles how people are doing this same thing but have not found a step-by-step instruction in what...

I am looking to talk to anyone who is or has tried to subscribe to GBTV with Wildblue satellite internet connection? Is it fast enough for on demand viewing? I am unable to get cable or DSL at my location. My Sprint modem has usage limitations so I cannot watch GBTV with it. My only alternative is satellite --- but I don't know if it can handle it. If anyone has any knowledge that could help, please do. Thanks.

My wife just received the following email... Dear xxxxxxx, It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs. This means no change: one website, one account, one password…in other words, no Qwikster. While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes. The email goes on to advertise what neat things they now offer, etc. etc. Looks like the feedback from the general public caused someone high up in the ranks at Netflix...

I've read here on FR, that there are fans of this show, so I thought I'd give a heads up that Netflix now has seasons 1 through 5 up for streaming. Any opinions of the show would be of interest to me..should I bother or does 5the show ctash and burn at some point?

It's a poll on a website you may want to save in your favorite places for streaming radio. My first observation - the United States isn't listed. Go with Chad?

I know that a lot of fellow FReepers stream Netflix. What are your suggestions for movies that may not have received the attention or respect that they deserved? What are you those gems that are worth watching again? How about that obscure movie that you tell people they should watch? Bonus points for links, pics or video of the movie you are talking about. I'll start; Firefly - The complete series. Nothing like a good old fashioned cowboys in space series.  Excellent cast, tight writing and a fan demanded ending.  Highly recommended. Zombieland Guns, zombies and jokes.  What more can...

Rough day for NFL fans. First, a ruling gives the league and owners much better positioning at the bargaining table by ruling that the lockout insurance is legit, and now two popular online video streaming sites have been seized by the U.S. Government. Channelsurfing.net and Atdhe.net were sites that linked to broadcasts of NFL games and plenty of other television shows. I'm not sure if this applies to Atdhe.net or not, but Channelsurfing.net did not actually host copyrighted material, it embedded from other sites that did so. Yes, both of these sites operate in a gray area of broadcasting copyright...

US authorities have seized the domain of the hugely popular sports streaming and P2P download site Rojadirecta. The site, which is one of the most visited sites on the Internet, lost its .org domain which now redirects to a notice from DOJ/ICE. Rojadirecta is an unusual target because two courts in Spain have ruled that the site operates legally, and other than the .org domain the site has no links to the US.

Aren't there any *live* conservative radio stations on the net to listen to, after the news channels go into repeats?

Click the source link for the live stream of the Tea Party protesters at the Capitol today.

PCTV has not worked for 2 days. And neither do any of the other popular links that worked before (e.g., Zaphedia). Can you test a working feed before responding? Much thanks in advance. Sneakyuser

Hi all, Just wanted to clear a few things up- someone posted a thread about watching our Fox News live stream at the Underground and said that you needed REALPlayer to view the stream..well you don't. There are three streams available for Fox News..and only one of them requires REALPlayer. There are links on the page to the other streams which are flash streams. The whole reason I created the website was because of the lack of good quality streams currently out there..that way if one of the streams on the Underground goes dead, you have immediate access to one...

HI GUYS I POSTED A QUESTION BEFORE ABOUT WHERE TO SEE FOX NEWS ONLINE SINCE THEY TAKE IT OFF THE OTHER SITE. I HAVE FOUND A VERY GOOD PLACE TO SEE IT. OK SO HERE IS THE GUYS POST THANKS. If you’re like the thousands of other folks around the world who relied on sites like TikiLive and BlinkoTV to watch Fox News live online- you were probably a little ticked off the day you turned your computer on to watch your favorite Fox News program.. only to see the stream was no longer available. At the Underground, there are...

is there a way to watch Fox News on the internet?

I wasn't sure under which topic this thread should go.. In a previous post here on FR, I gave a link to a page on my personal website/blog where I had embedded some live streaming of Fox News. I decided to do it after Blinkotv did away with FNC. So many people relied on that service to watch FNC..Lately a lot of folks have been forced to cut their cable or satellite subscriptions due to the current financial mess we're in. To make a very long story short, I had an experience with some not-so-friendly folks who decided to check...

Guys, after Blinko stopped broadcasting FOX NEWS and until we find a better solution, I've embedded some streams on my site and would like to know if it works with various operating systems/browsers. There are no ads on the site- I'm not doing it for money just trying to help out because so many people had to cut their cable off with the economy so bad and they relied on Blinko for Fox News. I have three streams embedded..two of them Fox News and one for Fox Business. One of the streams require REAL player and the other is a...

This is the link to Fox News 'Live". It is streaming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and Yes .. It is the channel that we all know and love! (Well except Shep Smith LOL) Seriously though, All of Fox is streamed here .. Including Smith! http://www.tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=1520

I had two, but they both no longer work

Sky News is now streaming its TV channel for free over its website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Despite Rupert Murdoch's mumblings about charging for all online content, the site is free - for now at least. Murdoch said yesterday that it was time for aggregators and search engines must start paying for news content - a slight refinement on previous announcements which seemed to want to get some money out of the readers.

Was watching Imus this morning and they did a business news break, and one of the items was, that as of today FBN was putting up their live broadcast on the internet? My, my, and this, days after their lawyers did the whole cease and desist bit with online sites hosting their programming! >B-) Anyone know if FNC is, hopefully, doing the same?

For your information, Blinkotv.com and TIKILive.com both use to offer free viewing of live Fox News, and CNN, 24/7. Now its just CNN. Let them know that this is NOT fair and balanced!! Tiki TVBlinkotv

Yes, Virginia, there is an answer to regular television and its steady secular humanism and hedonism. The Christian message can get out there on cable, broadband and Internet. One example aimed at both kids and adults is “WOW, The CatholicTV Challenge.” With hints of the popular quiz show “Jeopardy” and the long-running adult favorite “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” this fast-moving game, designed by Father Robert Reed for CatholicTV of the Archdiocese of Boston, can be subtitled, “Kids Say the Holiest Things.” Think you’re challenged about being as smart as a fifth-grader when you watch the popular Fox game show?...

In what some might consider an “audacious” move, Audi of America has bought the inauguration of the next president of the United States. And that’s not hyperbole.In a move that is likely to offend many, Audi has purchased exclusive sponsorship of the streaming broadcasts on four major news websites, ABCNews.com, CBSNews.com, MSNBC.com and WashingtonPost.com. Audi notes that this is “the first time a sponsor has brought MSNBC.com’s live stream of the presidential inauguration speech to viewers commercial free and the first time CBSNews.com will have an exclusive sponsor of the speech online.”. . .According to Johan de Nysschen, president of...

I am travelling out of the USA with NO English-speaking TV. Can any Freeper guide me as to how to view the debate on the Internet? Thanks in advance...

As luck would have it I'm moving the middle of this week. My satellite service can't hook me up until Friday. The debate is Thursday. But I will have Internet. I can project whatever comes across onto my TV. Does anyone know of places streaming the debate LIVE? C-SPAN?

We view the Olympics as a global sporting tradition and consider ourselves citizens of the world, so we don't have much patience with country-specific broadcasting rights. Thus, we're happy that we (and you) can watch the Olympics live right here on on SAI. (Frankly, we wish we could watch the Olympics on NBCOlympics.com, because their feed is marvelously crisp, but of course NBC is doing everything it can to prevent that. Specifically, NBC is trying to make us watch tonight, on tape delay, when the opening cermonies will be as stale as yesterday's bread. And when they do broadcast events...

(SAINT PAUL, Minn.) - To showcase how technology will be used in exciting new ways to engage Americans and make the 2008 Republican National Convention the most tech-savvy ever, convention President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Cino today announced that Ustream.TV will serve as the event’s Official Live Video Streaming Provider.

Whats the best place on the net to watch a live stream of the debates tonight? Who's running the shindig? Many Thanks.

The democratic gay debates are going to be streamed on logo online tonight in about 10 minutes. Would someone kindly copy and post the debates on utube.

Anyone know how to capture streaming audio and video? Have some items I would love to save to disk but don't how and what to use to capture them.

I need some help here. I know we have some Blackberry lovers out there and I need some information from you. Do you know whether Blackberry can stream audio the way the PocketPC can. With my PPC-6700 Sprint phone I can stream all of the talk radio I want. But my relative has a Blackberry and would like to do the same. Any suggestions?

Over the past few days, I have given a "Heads Up" to Freepers about Fox airing their original 9/11 footage on an internet link that I had bookmarked. Some of you caught it and many of you wanted to. Well, Fox has made it official. They will air the broadcast tommorrow morning starting at 8:30 a.m. EDT and it will be time synched to the original events. The link given above does not go to a website other than their main one, so you have to tune in tomorrow to get their actual link. However, if I were a betting...

Fox News has been running internet coverage of 9/11 events on an unpublished internet stream. I have been watching the coverage since this afternoon after I discovered the link was active. At midnight EDT, Fox just rolled over the coverage and restarted it with Fox and Friends at 8 a.m. EDT, Tuesday September 11. The Windows Media Player link can be found here: http://foxnews-foxstream.wm.llnwd.net/foxnews_foxstream

Two years ago the big thing was VoIP, telephone over the internet. The new big thing is TV over the internet, and it's a tempting big new thing indeed, promising to represent a real challenge to cable. At the least, it stands to force down the high price consumers pay to watch television. And as a competing distribution stream, IPTV could also usher in a flood of new, innovative programming choices. The question is when? Technologies on the horizon have a way of staying on the horizon, defying their promoters' promises of sweeping through the marketplace any minute now. The...

Here is a link to live streaming Israeli TV with about 10 channels to surf. There are no captions or subs but if you want to see whats going on - you might want to check this out.

I never really have cared to ask this before, but I just discovered the new Treo I have does a pretty good job of playing streaming audio from the Internet. I know that internet streams from shoutcast.com and treobits.com will work... but I'm not that encouraged by the listings I've seen thus far. Most of it looks like leftist ramblings that couldn't make it on commercial radio. In any case, are there any recommendations from fellow FReepers for good conservative internet radio stations? Thanks, -- Joe P.S. If you have a Treo, Pocket Tunes Deluxe is the software that allows...

It's one more way people will be able to find their favorite TV shows without having to fire up their TVs. ABC says it will offer four of its primetime shows on its web site. The shows can be watched on the site for free for two months after their original air date. The offer includes the hits "Desperate Housewives," "Lost,” "Alias,” and "Commander In Chief." But there is a catch! The shows will include advertisements that cannot be skipped over during viewing. The offer starts next month on ABC.com.

ABC's Prime-Time Hits And Zap-Proof Commercials Are Pillars of Bold Strategy Walt Disney Co. plans to make much of its newest and most popular programming on ABC and other channels available free anytime on the Web, in a move that could speed the transformation of television viewing habits and help revive the struggling TV advertising business. On April 30, ABC will unveil a revamped Web site that will include a "theater" where people with broadband connections can watch free episodes of "Desperate Housewives," "Lost" and other hit shows on their computers. Episodes will be available the morning after they air...

Online video has arrived in a big way. CBS' March Madness on Demand offering, live streams of games from the NCAA college basketball tournament, has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that people are willing to go on to the Web to view live entertainment.

March 17, 2006, 11:09 AM PST March Madness on CBS.com: it killed Posted by: Molly Wood CBS offering free streams of March Madness basketball games? I was skeptical, but it delivered--big time. In fact, it delivered a record 1.2 million streams in the first five hours and actually kept waiting, time-outs, and glitches to a surprising minimum. Oh, and it made a bajillion dollars on ads, too. Not too shabby, CBS. Not at all.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CBS Inc. (CBS) kicked off its first-ever free live showing online of the men's NCAA tournament, with more than 100,000 people either watching the video of the Seton Hall vs. Wichita game, or in a virtual waiting room, trying to get in. The live video streams were running 365 kilobits per second. Larry Kramer, head of CBS's digital operations, said he's prepared for at least 200,000 simultaneous viewers, placing the tournament Webcasts squarely among the top live online draws of all time.

Live Webcasts of NCAA tournament is 'watershed' moment By David B. Wilkerson, MarketWatch Last Update: 12:57 AM ET Mar 16, 2006 CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- CBS Corp.'s move to stream live telecasts of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship free of charge on the Web, beginning with this year's tournament, is a "watershed event" with vast implications for the television landscape, according to a former president of CBS Sports. Beginning Thursday, CBS (CBS) will offer live out-of-market broadcasts of "March Madness" games at NCAAsports.com. See related column by Bambi Francisco. "This is a watershed event," said Neal Pilson, president of...

Ultimately, the CBS affiliate hopes to offer the entire CBS lineup and commercials live on the Net and also to sell programs as part of a video-on-demand service.
