Watch Tv Online, Miro, Joost,

One of this blog’s topics is Watch Tv Online. The overall theme of this blog being “Make Money, Save Money” I figure logically, you will save money by not having to pay for TV (I don’t). The overall highest traffic generating topic of this blog has to do with the topic watching Tv Online. Lately after readings such stories as what happened with TV-Links, I’ve been trying to focus on less borderline illegal activities for watching TV and movies online. The media in general seems to be making larger steps toward the internet, moving most of their shows on to the internet as is the case with large networks streaming their prime time shows like Prison Break online.

Two more alternative options for watching TV online are Democracy Player and Joost:

Miro Player (formerly Democracy Player):
Miro is an Internet video player that allows you to choose from a variety of channels, subscribe to video feeds and view them with the integrated player. The channel guide includes more than 600 channels, mostly podcasts and user submitted video clips, and you can also add your own podcast by entering the URL. Its best feature is its BitTorrent (read my article about torrents here) integrated features, where you can watch your downloaded Torrent right on the player.

Joost
Joost doesn’t broadcast full channels, rather just different episodes of shows. They have shows like Punk’d, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Late Show, and even the Price is Right. Its just a whole array of interesting programming that is being shown on Joost. Joost was earlier in its beta mode, meaning you could watch Joost if you were invited, but now, everyone who wants to can download and enjoy Joost.

Does this replace Cable and Satellite TV?
Unfortunately even with the large variety of options for Television online, there is no one application that offers it all. Rather we have to switch between programs and websites to get all the television we want to watch.
