Are any TV broadcasters providing coverage to their subscribers over the internet? For example, instead of using Slingbox or Sony's Locationfree or Orb or TiVo To Go, you could just watch things on their website. Paul Wood
More than 400 TV stations from Albania to Zimbabwe provide TV programmes over the net, including the BBC and America's PBS. However, many just provide news clips and a few archived programs rather than streaming their whole output. Almost all these public services are free. Given the usual small windows, stuttering displays and unreliable connections, it would be hard to charge for them.
See Lifehacker for links to some good TV portals such as Channel Chooser (www.channelchooser.com) and Choose And Watch (www.chooseandwatch.com).
Bear in mind that watching TV online consumes a lot of bandwidth, so you will probably need an unlimited account.
