Dancetrippin.tv - Episode #16 -Berlin Love Parade Dumping Broadband Part II - Are we getting any closer to enjoying oursleves watching the PC ? The big guys keep trying: Lycos TV; Yahoo's Broadcast and (now) Launch; Real One Player; Quicktime TV; MSN Media Explorer. The little guys keep hoping : flyonthewall.tv ; itv.com; liketelevision.com. But can we ever be truly satisfied? Any other good ones out there?

I'd reccommend 0tv, especially if you enjoyed American Movie. They offer a lot of original content and it's available in every streaming format.

For what it's worth, now that I'm back in Korea, all I watch is the PC. The beehive where I live has Armed Forced Korea Network and National Geographic channel in English on cable, and that's it. The nature shows are cool when I have a hangover (which is an inordinately large proportion of the time, sadly), but AFKN is, well, what you'd expect.

So despite the fact that I spent 95% of my leisure time in front of the PC (thanks to a ridiculously cheap ridiculously large-pipe connection to the Crackternet), what I mostly end up doing is downloading video from the Morpheus/Kazaa network, rather than watching streaming content. That said, there's some fun stuff at ifilm and I am a huge launch.com addict now.
