 |
|
Simple question really: does anyone know a good link to watch tv online? I knew some good ones in the Uk but they don't work here. Plus all the ones I am finding want you to sign up for stuff and install software that takes up half of my tiny laptops memory. Thanks in advance  |

| If you don't mind watching stuff after it has aired, surfthechannel.com is a good one, at least for American shows, I don't know what their selection looks like for British ones. |

| Why not just download the episodes via a torrent program? You can watch the shows when you want, and without commercials. Usually you only have to wait about 6 hours after it first airs until a torrent appears. With high speed internet here in Korea, you can download an episode in 5 minutes. |

Has there been any crackdown on torrents in Korea? There will be a few shows I will miss once I come... |

Worked for me... Every episode of Survivor and the Amazing Race were available the following morning after they aired in the U.S.
Yes, Survivor. I love it. |

+1
And the best show on TV, The Daily Show, streams for free in HD from their website. |

| www.sidereel.com doesn't actually host anything, but they have links to every show that you're looking for. |

Unless things have change completely in 2 years; no. When I first got to Korea I had the online Netflix account from back home, but it was blocked.
As for the OP's question, TVduck.com is great for streaming; though the quality when streaming is more on the low side, hence why people recommend you download episodes. |

| I was able to get to the netflix website, but instant watch was blocked so there was no point in keeping my account. Sidereel.com has been working really great though. |

| Netflix works with a VPN...but you'll need a decent service though, otherwise you'll constantly have to deal with your stream rebuffering. |
