If you don’t mind sitting at your desk to watch a television program you missed or just want to see it on your own time, you can do so using the web. Everyday, the number of TV watchers watching live television drops. The phenomenon is so big, it now has its own name: time shifting. Time shifting means watching a program on your own time instead of the time listed in the TV listings.
The most common way to time shift your TV watching is the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) made popular by the TiVo service and now included in almost any satellite or cable package. However, watching TV shows on the web is becoming more and more popular with the majority of Internet users finally using high speed connections and the improved watching experience available on the web.
In today’s meeting, I discussed some of the ways you can find and watch almost TV program via the web. Here are the links I demonstrated:
Network Television – visit the web site of the network who originally aired the content
Cable channels – these services let you watch a variety of programs from network, cable and more
When you watch programs on these sites, some have no commercials, but most would do include very short breaks with 30-60 commercials about once every 10-15 minutes.

Hi, Rick. I use my Internet radio in my bedroom to listen to many things while I’m falling asleep every night. I wonder if I could capture the audio URL of one of these TV programs, save it in my account on Reciva, and listen on my Internet (WiFi) radio. What do you think? I couldn’t watch, of course, but I would be able to hear without sitting in front of my PC.
Yes, I think you can…worth a try!
Yep this is sure coming to be a very big thing.
Sometimes there just isn’t anything on and you want to catch something you missed earlier its very good.
