Watch out for some of the MegaVideo links. the site normally works perfectly but some are uploaded under higher-than-normal bitrates and for some reason the audio is about 5 seconds ahead of the video. tried to re-watch WALL-E (i admit it, i love that movie!) and the lips moved after the audio had already played.

is it true that some sites have spyware and adware part of the download?

I would not use any streaming TV site that requires you to download a program or codec to view their show.

Sites like hulu.com and a few of the other big ones are perfectly safe.

They normally use Adobe Flash Player to view the video. that's the only plugin required. any site saying otherwise is probably spyware/malware prone.

BTW none of the sites recommended require you download the video. it streams online so you're not violating any law as far as i know; as you're not illegally downloading anything onto your hard drive. it plays in a cache then when it's done that cache is deleted, therefore it remains on the site.

I can see where internet TV will be here to stay. In fact I think we will see a huge change in broadcasting because of this, I think you will start to see some of the best programing. To be able to choose from huge librarys of great stuff will be good for watchers and advertisers alike

With cable and satellite subscriptions inflating to an unrealistic price range, I have started taking advantage of watching some shows on the the internet, as well. Is there any way to record the show, so that you can watch it later; such as tivo?

The nature of Internet video distribution is such that there is no viable model for a downloadable distribution model with adequate asset protection. The best approach for that need is DVDs and BDs.

You can save it on your PC with the right software.
