Free TV Video Online - How To Find It

You're going to learn about the best ways to watch free tv online from your computer at home. You're going to learn about the best sites to go to, and about software you can download that will do everything for you and allow you to select full length episodes and movies from over 3000 different channels, which is also by far the easiest method.

Most TV stations such as CNN, TNT, etc. will have free videos on their sites that will allow you to view parts of most of their shows, but not the full episodes, which is the major downside to this method (just going to the TV stations' websites and searching for the show you want to watch and then finding its videos), but it is free and you do get to sometimes view full episodes, also if all you want is news then this is usually an excellent option because most news stations WILL have full feeds of their news broadcasts available for free on their websites.

You could also go to the individual sites for each station (NBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, ESPN, TNT, TBS, etc.) and look for the show you want to watch and then find some video clips for it, almost all major stations do this but it is a bit of a hassle and you're not guaranteed to be able to see the whole show this way.

There are two websites that are great if this is the route you want to try first, those being BeeLineTV.com and WorldTVPC.com, where they have compiled a list of links to all the TV stations' websites in the world that have free streaming video of their shows, however they're not always (and usually aren't, in fact) the full version of the show so you don't get the whole thing.

All-in-One Software

This is actually the program that I use when I watch TV series online: it's a software package that you pay to download, and then it goes out and finds ALL the streaming video feeds for all the TV series and shows that are available online, and then brings them all together in one simple, easy to use interface where you can look through them, search, and watch them as you please--it's very easy to use and just saves so much time and trouble, I do recommend it. You only have to pay ONCE, EVER, and that's just to download the software, you are NOT paying any type of subscription fee for a service or anything like that, it's not like Cable or Satellite where you have to pay every month.

Watch TV Episodes Online - How To Watch TV Episodes Online Free

I'm going to, very quickly, go over some information about how you can watch TV series online free, where to go to do this on your own, and how you can get software that will do it all for you.

Almost all major TV stations have free streaming video available for most of their shows on their website (NBC, TNT, ESPN, CNN, etc.) but you have to first go to those sites, find the area of the site that covers the show you want to watch, then find the streaming video for it. You can do this, but is a bit tedious.

Another option is Google Video or YouTube, which will almost always have clips and segments from every show imaginable UNLESS they've been taken down due to a copyright violation claim from the shows owners, which is the first downside to this. The other problem is that video clips on YouTube are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes, so you can never fit a whole show onto one clip.

Something else you can do is to try different websites like BeeLineTV.com and WorldTVPC.com where they've got lists of links to all the TV station websites that have free streaming TV series for you to watch, all organized by country, but again you have to go to each individual site, and then search and navigate to find the exact video you want.

Watch TV Shows Online Free

Ok, right now we're going to learn how to watch your favorite TV Shows, online, and for free. I'm going to cover some of the best sites out there to watch TV shows online, and the pros and cons of using them as well as an all-in-one solution at the end that collects all the output from all these sites into one simple site that you can use to watch everything, how you want to do this is up to you.

There's several different ways to go about doing this, the first of which is to go to your desired stations website, find the show you want to watch, and then find the streaming video feed for it (all major stations have this, i.e. ESPN, CNN, etc.). The only problem is that you'll have to go to the website every time you want to do this for every different show you want to watch.

There's also websites that have put together a list of every single TV station in the world that has free streaming video available for all their TV series, and then organized that list of sites by country, but again you still end up having to go to each individual TV stations website, and then search and navigate the site to find your videos. I DO encourage you to check out these sites before trying anything else though, the two best that I know of are BeeLineTV.com and WorldTVPC.com.

Also, as most people know, there's YouTube.com and Google Video, which will almost always have clips of your favorite shows on them. You'd be surprised what you can find on there, the odds that they won't have what you're looking for are very slim (I'm a fan of obscure British comedies from the 80's and early 90's like Mr. Bean, Black Adder, and Fawlty Towers, and all of these can be found on those sites), HOWEVER the two biggest problems lie in the fact that if someone posted clips from these shows without the owners permission, then it could be a copyright violation and the videos will be taken down, AND the biggest problem I see is that YouTube only allows their video clips to be a maximum of TEN MINUTES--so you can never have a whole show on one clip.

All-in-One Software Package

What I personally use is some software that you can install on your PC that connects to a server which automatically compiles ALL the available TV shows (over 3000 channels) PLUS Movies and Music, and then delivers them straight to your PC for you to view, it's MUCH easier than any other particular method and I recommend you check it out: Click Here for More Information about TV Show Downloads
