Few months ago I have cut my cable tv for saving. Watching television is really fun for me though I watch television only few hours in a week. I try to watch Music, Sports and Talk shows most often, specially weekend.

After cutting cable tv, I stared for an alternative solution. Thanks to the internet, I have found some of my favorite tv channels who stream their tv shows just few hours ofter broadcast on tv. Now I can watch television from my laptop whenever I want. It’s a great please for me to share my list of tv channels I watch over internet. I am sure most you’ve heard of these but chances are, some of you haven’t. Let me know if you have favorites as well.

I know this online channel want be as high up on most peoples list as it is on mine. But, it’s here for only one reason: Rob and Big. I love that show and without MTV.com I’d never get to see it. Thank ya MTV. Actually, the quality of their streams are not very good and is usually pretty jumpy but they have a nice selection of content that includes some extras like behind the scenes and bio’s etc. I guess some folks could be into the other shows on MTV, so if you are, then check out MTV.com. Oh, and if you haven’t seen Rob and Big, you should check that out as well. Rob Dyrdek is a bit nuts and also a very smart guy. He’s a pro skateboarder, company owner, investor and tv reality star. I’ll do a post on him at a later time.

If you’re a fan of Heroes, The Office or My Name is Earl, then NBC.com is a must. Just like with ABC.com, they show their programs just after there original airing and the advertising is clearly marked. The quality of their player is great and almost never fails. In additions to the regular shows, they usually have extra content as well. You don’t need regular tv when you have “on demand” tv. It works with your schedule, an not the networks. NBC.com is great.

This one is new for me but is starting to become part of my daily play. Rooftopcomedy.com is a comedy video site. It’s not like youtube where anyone can submit there own video or something that was found on the web. Actually, rooftopcomedy has relationships with comedy clubs all over America, where the set-up cameras and record the shows. Then, rooftopcomedy’s producers go through all of the recorded content and make clips of the best stuff and then make it available online. They currently have comedy clips from over 1,200 comedians. I had no idea that their were 1,200 comedians. Check these guys out, as they have some funny stuff.

This is one of my favorite channels to browse around when I’m dreaming of travels to some tropical destinations. Lonely Planet content comes from Lonely Planet TV and independent travelers. It’s a lot fun to watch some of the shows from the amateurs as they cover some of the really cool locations. If you’re planning a trip or just day dreaming, Lonelyplanet.tv is a great place to research or just be entertained.

Out of all the online offerings from the major networks, ABC is probably the most advanced. The picture is super clear and is, well, “streaming HD”. Actually it’s not quite HD quality but it’s good enough for your laptop. ABC offers pretty much all of their prime time shows online, free for your viewing pleasures. I’m a big fan of Lost and as much as I shouldn’t admit it, I like Ugly Betty also. I’m usually not around to watch the shows as they air, so I almost always watch them online at ABC. It’s a brilliant strategy for the bigs to move their shows online after they air, and they usually do it within a few hours. The online shows are very sparse with advertising and you always know when the ads are coming. I’m a big fan.

Another way to watch television streaming software with lifetime subscription. There are many software available, some of them Satellite direct, Digital tv on Pc and PCtv for me are best. See here is a comparison chart of satellite tv streaming software available in matket
