Watch streaming TV and more via torrent with StreamTorrent
It might not be practical unless you've got a lot of people watching and seeding, but you could theoretically stream your own channel over StreamTorrent. Users would only have to search for it to connect. This could prove to be an affordable way of providing large video files when you don't have the cash to pony up for high bandwidth fees, and it can, at least in theory, stream to an unlimited number of users.

This is nothing new! There are already several programs similar to this: TVU, Sopcast, PPLive, PPstream, TVAnts. People use them all over the world, especially for watching sporting events that might not be shown in certain markets.

How is this thing supposed to work? I've typed in multiple shows into the search engine and got no results

Oh wait, I see. I thought you could stream specific shows but i guess you can only stream channels.
