If you don’t have cable at home, like me or if you just want to watch TV and movies while your using your PC, then you should check out the list below which lists the best free online TV services I’ve discovered.


There are a few Advantages of online Tv:
1. ITs Free !

* Interactivity - An IP-based platform also allows significant opportunities to make the TV viewing experience more interactive and personalized.
* Video on Demand (VoD) - permits a customer to browse an online movie catalogue, to watch trailers and to select the movie he wants to watch.
* Converged Services - Another advantage of an IP-based network is the opportunity for integration and convergence. Converged services implies interaction of existing services in a seamless manner to create new value added services. One good example is On-Screen Caller ID, getting Caller ID on your TV and the ability to handle it (send it to voice mail, etc)

Limitations:

Because IPTV is based on the Internet Protocol, it is sensitive to packet loss and delays if the IPTV connection is not fast enough.
