Is free TV over the internet finally here? Well, sort of.
SOPCast is a peer-to-peer Windows application that tries to make video streaming more viable. It appears to be in early stages, but is functional; at this time you can watch BBC World News, HBO Movies, ESPN Sports and a few other channels in your Windows Media Player, via the SOPCast client. The intent of this service is to allow anyone to offer their video through a simple link on their website, provided the visitor has the SOPCast client installed. We'll keep an eye on this one - it's fun to play with, but may not yet be ready for prime time. Excuse me while I go back to watching the BBC World News report.

I love this, but I wonder how legal is it? It's a great program.

What happened to that other program? I think the website was www.onlinetvrecorder.com

That's a list containing hundreds of free Internet TV stations. Great for importing into SopCast!
