The days of the television might be numbered. Statistics show that individuals are spending increasingly more time in front of their computers, that could soon replace the trusty TV as the nation's number one type of entertainment.

While the potential of web video has always been apparent, but it not until recently which it has begun to match more traditional visual entertainment with regards to quality.

And the fact that computers offer so far more are making them an increasingly popular way to watch TV shows. Rather than waiting with bated breath for the next episode of your favorite series, or ruing the loss of an episode missed, you may have it all on demand at the net.

The mention of watching full series TV shows and films on the web still can still have some connotations of shady practices such as torrenting pirated material and poor quality products. On the flip side, which is changing fast and internet TV is hitting the mainstream.

With fast connection speeds and technologies such as DivX you may watch high-quality television and you'll do it with a clear conscience.

Television networks have come to recognize the potential of the web as a medium for broadcasting television shows. Networks like NBC, ABC and CBS permit you to stream TV shows if you have missed them on television. They're often posted on web pages about one day after it airs on television.

This really is ideal if you miss an episode when you can go back and watch it any time. In contrast, these streams are extremely popular and you may experience bad lag while attempting to stream the show if it aired recently. Shows usually stay online for about per week and are only available to United States Of America residents.

Another option is Peer to Peer TV (P2PTV). The emergence of sites such as joost.com has made these a popular option for watching TV online. You will normally have to download a special client to watch these as the technology is similar to torrenting. Unlike torrenting the content is streamed, and not downloaded onto your hard drive so you may experience some lag at peak times.

It's now also possible to stream live television as it happens. Like P2PTV you will need a client to do this and since it is live, shows are not available on demand. These services are specifically popular for live music and sporting events.

The internet being what it's, there are numerous options for watching TV shows and movies online. Torrenting clients are hugely popular however the legality and ethics of this practice are questionable, which is a notorious way of infecting your computer with viruses. Many TV shows also are available to stream from 'unofficial' sources, but again this practice is questionable.
