How disappointing! I'm in New York and trying to watch the season finale of "House" which aired earlier this week on my computer. But Amazon won't accept my payment, because my address on file is Switzerland? Surely my IP address today is an American one since I'm connecting from my hotel.

Read full article . March 9, 2009TF1 VISION: YESTERDAY ON US TV, TODAY ON TFI VISION.
In September 2007, French network TFI1, launched a special section on their website called TFI Vision, which enables French (only) viewers to purchase episodes of US TV series that aired just 24 hours before on American television. And usually at least one year ahead of what would be aired on TF1's national television network. Their tag line: Yesterday on US TV, Today on TF1 Vision. Not all US TV series are available and not the latest, but some of the most popular TV series are listed: Lost, Dr House, Heroes, The Scott Brothers, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles all available in both streaming or download versions, in v-o (English) with French sub-titles. Price: euro 1.99 ($2.50). If viewers chose to download the episode, they have 30 days to watch the video for 48 hours. If viewers chose to watch in streaming, viewing starts as soon as payment is accepted for the next 48 hours. According to an article in the Nouvel Obs in December 2008, in the year since it's launch, TF1 Vision has been viewed over 1 million times. But still doesn't come close to TorrentFreak's 2 million downloads of the first episodes of Season 4 of Prison Break. I think TF1 Vision is a great start for allowing European viewers to (legally) watch the latest US TV series. I wish such an offer would be available on Swiss television. But as far as I know, they have no immediate plans.

March 2, 2009For US viewers: The Ultimate Guide To Watching TV OnlineTV Crunch has posted a comprehensive list of the third party websites (free and pay-for) that stream TV online. Not included in the list are the network sites that stream their own shows. You can find that list on a Gizmodo Guide called Internet TV Remote. Both of the above lists are accessible to US viewers only. European and Asian viewers watch TV online on video sharing sites because the networks and third party websites are still working out international copyright agreements. The best link-site by far is Sidereel.com. January 12, 2009Can the New TV.com Challenge Hulu?

I was able to watch full (official) episode of Dexter from SwitzerlandGreat news! I was able to watch full length episodes of both "Dexter" and "Californication" on YouTube from Switzerland, following CBS and Showtime's announcement on Friday to offer full length television shows on Google's video sharing site. Up until now, episodes available for viewing on a network Website or on Hulu.com were not available to viewers outside of the US, but for some (good) reason, I was able to watch them on YouTube, including commercials. Hopefully this is not an oversight that will be corrected! There have always been pirated full length episodes on video sharing sites, but these videos I'm pretty sure, are the official ones. See below screen captures of Showtime's endorsed "Dexter" episode as well as a capture of the “theater view” option.
October 8, 2008Time Warner Cable shows customers how to get TV for free
Recently, however, Time Warner Cable has been urging its customers to use those very sites -- and to watch them on their TV sets, no less. Among other things, the company is offering a quick video tutorial on how to connect a PC or laptop to a TV set. April 11, 2008Television on the Internet taking off for realIt's been a long time coming but television on the Internet appears finally to be taking off, opening up a new viewing experience for free and helping to fight online piracy. The Associated Press reports. One of the newest services, Hulu which was launched a month ago in the United States, is backed by media giant NBC Universal and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. The online video-on-demand (VOD) service "will let you watch your favourite programmes anytime for free", Hulu's youthful CEO Jason Kilar told a conference at the giant MIPTV audiovisual entertainment industry trade show this week. Kilar said the plan was to make Hulu available outside the US. But this will take time as the company would need to negotiate content rights issues for each country. ... Setting aside their rivalries, the networks plan to hit back at the growing challenge posed by hugely successful Internet video-sharing sites such as YouTube, where their programmes are regularly illegally downloaded. Both Joost and Babelgum were launched last year but industry experts are starting to question what sort of results they and other fledgling web TV services are notching up. These services have been criticised for not offering enough content and for incomplete TV series, and recently some have started to change track. Joost is now concentrating on partnering with major studio and TV networks. Babelgum is focusing on independent films, sport, nature and travel, and Vuze is specialising in the sci-fi and animation genres popular with young males. April 2, 2008Tudors viewed as many times online as on TV
"The network estimates that the most recent episode of “The Tudors” was viewed about one million times online, thanks in part to a concerted effort to get people to watch it at no charge. Showtime spread the episode across the Internet, posting it on YouTube (where it received over 300,000 views) as well as sites like Comcast.com, Yahoo and Sho.com. A similar strategy last year led to about one million views online and on-demand, Showtime has estimated." March 11, 2008Hulu: The Next Step in TV on the Web
Time magazine gives Hulu - out of beta testing and officially launched - a thumbs up review. "Hulu could do to television what iTunes did to music. That's because Hulu frees TV shows from their networks and instead lets (US viewers) watch legal versions of programs ŕ la carte, whenever they choose — for free on the Web. Though TV shows have gradually become available on individual network sites over the past few years, the merit of Hulu is that it lets you go to a single, easy-to-use site to watch any episode you want — without having to sift through all the promotional clutter on official TV sites. The best part, you don't even have to know which network a show airs on. "People don't associate The Biggest Loser with NBC. People identify with shows, not a network," says Hulu's CEO, Jason Kilar. ITV signs Bebo video deal
ITV is to make its TV shows available viaBebo in a deal that aims to tap into the young internet generation increasingly attracted to social networking websites. The first ITV show to be made available on Bebo will be US acquisition "Gossip Girl", which airs on ITV2, which started Monday at www.bebo.com/gossipgirl. Not available though to Swiss viewers: "The video you are trying to watch cannot be viewed from your current location or country". [via The Guardian] March 8, 2008Video streaming in China is getting state of the artAnalysts say there are hundreds of video-sharing Web sites in China today, reports Investors Business Daily. The most popular, like Tudou, can attract 100 million viewers a day. The programs range from full-length TV programs to home-made amateur video clips. Streaming videos on the Net are one of China's hottest new businesses and officials hesitated to crack down for fear of hurting the economy. Video streaming in China is getting state of the art. On Feb. 25, for instance, content distributor ChinaCache said it was introducing flash video streaming services in partnership with Adobe China, a unit of U.S. software maker Adobe Systems. China's eight top video-sharing firms have received about $190 million from private investors since 2005, according to consulting firm BDA China." Tudou Ordered to Shut Down?
The shutdown is reportedly over government concern that Tudou is hosting pornographic and other banned content. For those who watch US TV series online, Tudou is one of the most prolific sources. It would be devastating for Europeans and Asians if it was shut down. This morning it's still working. According to some sources, the shutdown story is a vicious rumor started by a competitor website. According to DANWEI's correspondent this is just a shake down for penalty fees, and a shot across the bows of all the video sites to warn them that big brother SARFT is watching. The accusations of pornographic content are absurd: Tudou is one of the least salacious video hosts out there. Lots of the smaller ones seem to be trying to compete by pushing the boundaries of what's permitted, but Tudou and the other big ones don't have the same sexy, sexy movies. Copyright infringement's a different story, but there again, Tudou is no worse than any of the others. December 15, 2007Final Episode of Dexter Online ahead of Network schedule
This is the first time a Dexter episode has been aired on YouTube before Showtime TV. Who leaked it? October 7, 2007Fox: Our Viewers Will Want To Watch TV Online - SomedayForbes interviews Fox Digital Media President Dan Fawcett on the future of watching full length shows online. He believes in it. "Fawcett is convinced that viewers will want to watch full episodes of tv shows on their computers. He also thinks hey'll stream them more than they'll download them, and that they'll watch them with ads. How important do you think repurposed full-length programming is going to be for you online? I think it's going to be very important. Certainly short-form has played very well on the broadband platform but I think as part of our NBC venture, we're going to have a lot of long-form programming available. We think people will watch that when, where and how they want to, whether it's in the privacy of their bedroom or in their office or on their PC, wherever they may be. [via Silicon Alley Insider]
