Thanks to the internet, you don’t need a connection from your cable TV provider in order to watch your favorite shows. You can watch your favorite TV programs online for free. Who is a prime candidate for online TV channels? People who:

1. do not have cable tv, (obvious).
2. have missed their favorite TV show and forgot to set the TIVO, (video on demand)
3. do not like commercials, (online tv channels can either be fast forwarded or commercials have already been edited out)
4. who want to take a break from working on their PC and watch a little tele
5. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WATCH SHOWS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THEIR CABLE PROVIDER!

WARNING: Beware, I’ve caught myself watching TV on my PC at work…while I am supposed to be working.

Interernet Protocol Television, (IPTV), does have some limitations though. The quality will obviously not have the same quality as your conventional television however I’m sure that does not matter to most of us as long as the quality is acceptable.
