Check out this Korean site:

www.cdmatv.com

Just above the video box on the left, there is a menu you can pull down to watch any of a variety of channels.

They are from countries all over the world.

You must allow popups if you want to make the video window bigger. Try the different pulldown menus on the left to find this feature. You can also watch multiple channels at once!

Tons of channels -- too many to list.... CNN, BBC News, ESPN, TBN, ABC News, Bloomberg, Seattle Channel, CSPAN 1,2 & 3, BETV, . The list goes on and on.

I use Firefox so I had to right click on the channel and select open this link in Internet Explorer.
Great link BTW, thanks Derrek.

Thank my Korean co-worker for that link...

He paid for the works from ESPN and gets live baseball plus all stats. He sits at his desk and computes everything as he watches... a true baseball nut.

I don't like baseball, but he's a great guy.

T-Dot, I doubt they have any type of schedule, but oh... one of those pulldown menus below the video window will give you the main website each channel comes from. I bet you'll find something around there, if anywhere.

Yeah, great link! Thanks. Anyone know why where the Korean characters should be I get weird text? I have the Korean language pack installed...

Also, any way to view this fullscreen that I haven't figured out yet? Thanks again.

no full-screen. a 2 inch screen is just too small for my taste.

Make sure your pop-up blockers are off.

It has a 320x screen, but gotta turn off pop-up blocker.

Wouldn't work on mine even following that advice. Also seems pretty choppy at times too. Can't imagine it as a substitue for anything but it was good for a trip down memory lane to catch a bit of Jordanian TV Wink

C-Span 1 and 2 work fairly well. BBC works well, usually, as does ESPN.

CNN though.... ugh... almost never.

Did you try the little pull-down arrows below the video box? They let you choose different sizes.

Are you using IE or Firefox?

You can watch it full screen and bypass the website entirely, if you just open your IE temp folder and double click on the WMP asx files.
That will open it directly in Windows Media Player.
Then save the link to your library. You can watch it anytime by selecting the saved link. Of course you can size the window as you like too.
Enjoy.
