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

Watching TV online requires accessing a web page and clicking play. Many networks include the television programs right on their own web sites (like NBC.com), check 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 from your computer. You stream them throughout the approved web pages. By stream, I mean you watch the television show as it loads into your browser. You will not receive nor do you may need a certain video file to play on your home computer.
