US networks online

Expat · 28-07-2009, 12:40

I've tried finding the live feeds for the major US networks like ABC, CBS and NBC. They don't seem to have any live streaming feeds available like UK channels.
I have looked at their websites, can't see them, are they available, if so where?
I know I will have to use a VPN to watch.

it's illegal to view them in the uk as they are not licenced over the pond (here)

You mean they are not legally available in the UK, due to programme rights being held by British broadcasters.
I can watch UK free-to-air television in Europe via satellite.
As a private citizen I can watch these quite legally, cable companies are not allowed to rebroadcast them.

The law on Internet streams and VPNs is not very clear, not illegal as far as I know.
Broadcasters use Geoblocking to stop their channels being viewed ouside the territory they have paid copyright royalties for.

and the geoblocking from US providers tells you you cant watch US broadcasts.

With a VPN you can, just like thousands of Brits abroad watching geoblocked material from the UK.
But back to the point, does anyone know which American channels have live streams?

www.tvunetworks.com have a CBS stream (either watchable through the website by installing a plugin or through the program you can download there for free).

A lower quality NBC stream is available on Freedocast - embedded on my site - http://www.lateshowuk.com/watch-onli...and-late-night

I had a look on their site but it's expensive when you add it all up.

This is brilliant!!This is nothing short of miraculous to me,i have been searching for a way to watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for ages

They only ever put short random clips up on the NBC site and have just started barring them to overseas viewers.

Does anyone know anything about this; http://signupsystem.com/clickbank/06...1&revid=gd2zkl

It says there is a flat fee of $34.95 but there is a suspicious lack of genuine detail about what you actually get...
