The days of the television could be numbered. Statistics show that folks are spending increasingly more time in front of their computers, which can soon replace the trusty TV as the nation's number one form of entertainment.
As the potential of web video happens to be apparent, but it not until recently that it has begun to match more traditional visual entertainment with regard to quality.
As well as the fact that computers offer so a lot more are making them an increasingly popular way to watch TV shows. In place of waiting with bated breath for the next episode of your favorite series, or ruing the loss of an episode missed, you can have all of it on demand at the internet.
The mention of watching 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 other hand, which is changing fast and internet TV is hitting the mainstream.
With fast connection speeds and technologies such as DivX you may watch top quality television as well as you can do it with a clear conscience.
Television networks have come to recognize the potential of the internet as a medium for broadcasting television shows. Networks like NBC, ABC and CBS make it possible for you to stream TV shows if you have missed them on tv. They are often posted on web pages about one day after it airs on television.
This really is ideal if you miss an episode as you can go back and watch it any time. On the contrary, these streams are quite popular and also you may experience bad lag while attempting to stream the show if it aired recently. Shows usually stay online for about a week and also are only available to United States Of America residents.
Another option is Peer to Peer TV (P2PTV). The emergence of sites for example 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 just like torrenting. Unlike torrenting the content is streamed, and not downloaded onto your hard drive so you might experience some lag at peak times.
It really is now also possible to stream live television as it happens. Like P2PTV you need a client to do this and since it is live, shows are not available on demand. These services are especially popular for live music and sporting events.
The internet being what it is, there are plenty of options for watching series TV shows and movies online. Torrenting clients are hugely popular although the legality and ethics of this practice are questionable, and it 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.
