10 More Ways to Watch TV Online with Your PC
We've seen in our first post on 10 ways to watch TV online that many Internet TV sites are based in Asia (China specifically), and you often have to download an application to watch your favorite shows. That trend doesn't change in part two.
Watch out for number 10 below since it'll take all your Korean language skills (my guess is zero) to navigate through the registration interface. Luckily, all software and website user interfaces look to be designed by the same person so trial-and-error should get you through most of the sites below.
1. Coolstreaming IPTV: Think of it as the YouTube of IPTV. More than 2000 TV channels, 600 radio stations, and 120,000 registered users.
2. QQLive (Google translated): QQ is the name of a popular Chinese IM client. With QQLive, you can watch streaming TV (download). Get the channel list here.
3. Feidian (Google translated): Also known as Boiling Point, this application (download) offers Asian broadcast TV channels, European films, cartoons, and US TV shows.
4. PCast (Google translated): You can watch channels like Jet Li Theater, National Geographic, and Basketball Park with this program. Channel guide here.
5. TV Bistro: Watch 47 TV channels from Sci-Fi Channel to Poker TV right in your browser.
6. Free Internet TV: This site has movies, cartoons, comedy, TV episodes, and more. You can also watch free football games.
7. Mysee (Google translated): Streams play in your browser, but you'll need to download a separate program. Offers sports and TV shows, but it's more like a YouTube clone.
8. FreeTube: Multiple categories available including News, Business, WebCams, Movies, and Adult. Doesn't seem to work at the moment.
9. TVKoo: Mainly streams Asian TV channels. Requires Viviplayer installation.
10. PDBox (Google translated): Korean site that requires registration before you can download the application. Check out the channel list here.
Bonus: TVTonic: Technically not a way to watch TV online, but this site lets you watch video podcasts through your browser (IE6 and up only). You'll need to install a plugin though. Thanks to Web TV Hub for the tip.
