RevoluTV: Watch live TV streams in Windows
Hulu Schmulu. Some TV networks have been providing streaming content for ages. You can watch live or recent news updates from the BBC or CNN, music videos, or even movies if you know where to look. But where's the fun in that? RevoluTV is a Windows app that comes preloaded with a long list of video channels that you can stream using the built-in Windows Media Player interface.
Unlike previously mentioned LiveStation, which is mostly focused on news channels, RevoluTV has a ton of streams divided into categories like News, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Music, Movies, Sports, and Kids. And most of the streams I tried actually played, which is more than I can say for some other programs I've used that promise to let you stream internet TV content from around the globe.
Of course, I've kind of gotten used to the video-on-demand feel of Hulu and similar sites, so I'm not really a big fan of watching live television anymore. But if you can't find anything worth watching on Hulu, YouTube, or whatever online video site you're addicted to these days, RevoluTV might be worth a look.

You or anyone ought to DL the (free) program (wrapper?) to use their (free) service without any listing to wet your appetite before you click the magic button.
Like getting TV from your neighbor not knowing if HBO is included.
Am i missing something?

Some of the streams don't work at all. Many are pre-recorded.
The best this app has to offer is Fireplace TV and Fish TV - which act like screen savers.
Not worth downloading.
