You can use winamp too....I'm watching the end of jurassic park 3....mmmm.

[Rivera42]

On Winamp I've found such treasures as an all-"The Shield" stream and an all-"Fawlty Towers" stream, among many others.

[tony oh]

I found the faulty towers one and one running stargate over and over...but no shield.

I was wondering do different regions get different streams?

If you didn't find it, the stream may have been taken down or discontinued. On Winamp, sort your streamlist alphabetically by "now playing." If you overlooked it the first time, you'll spot it easily this way.

If I'm not mistaken, the streams themselves come from all over the world and can be seen and enjoyed by anyone, anywhere in the world.
Examples I can personally vouch for include Ibiza Global Radio from Spain and Radio ABF from France, both of which can be readily accessed with either of the applications we've discussed. There also is a wealth of Arabic-language religious broadcasts which you may notice peppered throughout your stream lists =]

Funny you should mention...just the other day I found a stream featuring the original Jurassic Park (on a loop with Ocean's Eleven, the Matrix and the Curse of the Black Pearl). I hadn't seen JP since it was new in theatres, and somehow it seems oddly appropriate that the first time since then that I get to watch JP it would be on the computer.

LOL yep that's the loop.....my mistake on part 3! It was just at the end where they were flying home in the plane and the ptery's were flying along

I think they are selling a PCI card with some softwear that will decrypt dish network tv signal. my 2 cents

This is something Daily Freeware Download posted today, but I can't vouch for it:

Awfully good timing on their part, I must say.

If you look at what that free TV service offers, you'll see what I referred to earlier. Not exactly the "prime time" lineup.

Now a days the services that modern cable TV offers is hard to beat by any program thats available online. Now with the wide variety of HD channels, and on demand movies it's just not worth passing up. I actually bought one of these programs. it cost 50 bucks too. I cant remember the name of it because it was on my last HDD that crashed. What i do remember is that it had a list of default servers to connect to so you can stream the movies you watch. Other than that, you had too search the web for any other servers that offered more or different channels. Its often bad quality too, but if you have an extra 50 bucks laying around than its well worth it. and its interesting too.

Hello,

I love watching oldies on the internet. I use Hulu, Joost and watch prime time reruns on CBS. I never used Winamp. Do you suggest it for good oldies? And are they whole movies or in parts like on Youtube?

Thank you,

Nissi1

just posting to get this thread in my listings, but I would like to know if there is UK oldies tv stations/sites/whatever you guys are talking about.

Hi
I downloaded vlc & each time i copy a movie to my harddrive i go to play it & get scattered video ts files between power dvd & vlc.I went to add/remove & removed vlc.Then put another movie on my harddrive & still get vlc files as well.How can i fully get vlc out of my system as it creates major problems for me.During movie play i have to select the next file each time it changes from vlc to power dvd.Which also then changes players.

Download the 100% free VLC media player. Install, launch, click playlist, click manage, select 'discover services,' select 'shoutcast tv listings' and voila! Free and legal Internet television, and depending on your system you might be able to watch in the streaming equivalent of HD.

WOW !!!

Thanks for the tip Rivera. I downloaded the VLC player on a tip from another member months ago. I seem to remember having a problem trying to open either a zipped or unzipped file ( I believe there were 3 choices ) and once I tried the other it downloaded and have enjoyed it as my main player ever since.

I didn't know about this free TV stuff but it's TRUE !

Watched parts of Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Carribean on De Sync Awsome Movies. I do happen to be blessed with a 24" LG monitor and a $50 set of Altec Lansing speakers that sound INCREDIBLE for the money... I'm in heaven.

Good morning,

I tried VLC also but could not get it to work properly so I uninstalled it. A day or so later I decided it was time to clean some of the gook out of my computer and assigned CCleaner its monthly chore. I also allowed CCleaner to clean the registry of junk left behind after programs have been uninstalled.

To my surprise, it took two runs to rid my computer of VLC's leftovers! Talk about the guest that did not want to leave!

This is how I finally detached(?) VLC from my computer. Perhaps someone with more experienced than I can suggest something.

God Bless you,

Nissi1
