I’ve noticed that my link to sources that peo­ple can use now that tv-links.co.uk is gone has gen­er­ated alot of hits. The thing I left out when link­ing to that orig­i­nal posts are the 100% free and legal ways to stream your tele­vi­sion (and most of these sites can han­dle the badnwidth).

www.fox.com
www.abc.com
www.cbs.com
www.nbc.com
www.cwtv.com

All these major net­works have live and stream­ing episodes — they have com­mer­cials — but that’s fine with me since I can now watch what I want when I want it. Law and Order is still miss­ing though.

In comes Hulu, here is what the NY Times has to say:

Hulu is the new-media cre­ation of two old-media rivals, NBC, which is owned by Gen­eral Elec­tric, and Fox, owned by the News Cor­po­ra­tion. Since March, when the broad­cast­ers announced their joint effort to bring free, ad-supported tele­vi­sion shows to the Web, crit­ics have pounced, pre­dict­ing the ven­ture would be doomed by diverg­ing agen­das, tech­ni­cal chal­lenges and an all-powerful enemy: YouTube.

While com­pet­ing with youtube may or may not work — didn’t demo­graph­ics entirely. I can say this is going to bring in a new era of inter­ac­tive live tele­vi­sion on demand. Maybe the big com­pa­nies are pay­ing atten­tion to their con­sumers for a change.

Will they be com­plete series — I don’t know but I hope so — I’m sure they won’t be com­plete res­o­lu­tion since some of these titles may interef­ere with DVD sales — but I would assume that would be depen­dent on if they make more money from com­mer­cials or the 19.99 that alot of these go for per sea­son on DVD. Only time will tell.
