Can anyone recommend sites that stream current TV shows free? Hulu is nifty if you're in the USA, but I'm in Toronto and it doesn't work here.

I watch a few on the network sites. ABC has an iPad app that works great, and I catch shows on the SyFy channel site. Been watching the old 80's Buck Rogers at lunch, really bad, but fun.

Hulu plus a proxy or VPN. I like Hotspot Shield. Free, one button to push, makes you look American for Hulu purposes.

@Glukkake - by scam sites I mean the ones which infect your computer with malware like Linkpotato, which is a bastard to get rid of.
@Sneak - thanks, I'll check it out.
@Finagle - Thanks. I'll look into that as well.
@Azabith - cheers, I'll add that to my list.
@Warped Savant - Streaming sites have the content I'm after straight away, without sitting around waiting for a torrent to become available and then to download it.

That being said, can anyone recommend a decent p2p now that Limewire's been closed down?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9135&Focus=268200#Comment_268200 2010-11-03T15:22:16-07:00 2013-05-21T20:32:28-07:00 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2

Streaming is useful for those of us who mysteriously cannot get torrenting to work on their computers.

Never had a lot of luck getting torrenting to work. Another reason why I prefer streaming or P2P.

For P2P, my understanding is that the kids are using Frostwire now.

If you don't mind poking around blindly or actually CAN read Chinese, also try toudou.com - they have mostly Asian shows, but some Western shows as well.

Netflix is also apparently looking to expand to Canada soon.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9135&Focus=268243#Comment_268243 2010-11-04T01:57:59-07:00 2013-05-21T20:32:28-07:00 JiveKitty http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7925

All is well. I had a brilliant friend fix some issues with my computer which were preventing torrents from executing, and now I'm enjoying the benefits of high speed downloads.

This thread doe illustrate a real problem with the current state of online streaming, though - no TV Guide. Currently I have pretty much no idea where to watch a given, random show at any moment - ...

Is there a reliable online TV Guide anywhere that actually lists where one can watch a current show?

I've been having great hopes for the promise of using XBMC or similar media centers. With XBMC, a source like Hulu or Netflix shows up as just another media folder, and the menu allows you to attempt to add the items to the overall media library, but I never get any results out of it. I'm just waiting for the day when I can pull up a menu and click "M*A*S*H*" or something, and the menu pops up and asks me which source I'd like to acquire it from, with free or pay options.

The current state of things with regards to licensing probably means it will be ages before this ever actually happens "officially", unless someone points out that TV Guide themselves or some other service already has this.]]>
