Strangely, many people don't seem to appreciate the ease and joy of watching television online. They seem to think it really is harder than it really is... or they don't even recognize that the key televisions networks now provide many of their biggest hits online through various sites and services.

Watching TV see movies online requires accessing a web page and clicking play. Many networks include the television programs right on their own own web pages (like NBC.com), but many more are now beginning to integrate all their programming with the excellent free site Hulu.

You are not downloading these television shows to watch them through your computer. You stream them through the approved web sites. By stream, I mean you watch the television show as it loads into your browser. You won't receive nor do you'll need a particular video file to play on your home computer.

And yet even folks who know what I have explained so far still have not gotten into enjoying television online. Why?
