No TV and No Beer Make Homer...something,something.

So what do you do when you don't have cable? Go outside? Read a book? Write your thesis? NO you fool! You turn to the internet:

There are sites that are hubs to take you to videos of TV and movies posted on the internet. For example, Alluc.org, Ch131, FreeTVonline, and SurfTheChannel. Besides that many TV stations from CTV to MTV have a lot of online content (in fact most networks have many of their shows viewable online) I am so not going to make a list of them (it's called Goggle boys and girls). Although many channels have video that is not viewable in Canada due to copyright laws (but you can get around that sometimes by going through a Canadian channel that carries the show, such as Global for SNL videos) . That being said, there are sites like wwiTV that give you links to hundreds of TV stations with online content, broadcasts, and streaming video from all over the world (there are like 6 music TV stations from Poland, who knew?). There are quite a few wacky stations out there (the Canadian ones are the standard fare, mostly CBC, there are a lot of online religious channels from the States). Beeline TV is much the same but arranged by language of the station instead of country of origin. These sites can't possibly list all stations though and they don't.

Now of course there is YouTube for all your video needs but there are other similar sites that are more geared towards movies and TV like vid2c, DivX has Stage 6, Megavideo, and Veoh has a lot of movies and videos (but sometimes the content is restricted to members).

Don't worry D, life without TV ain't so bad (though I guess I do have those 3 fuzzy channels), eventually you'll learn to live again. Welcome to the world of goal oriented watching, where TV isn't the background noise of your life. And, as always, TV is better with the simpsons:

p.s. Unfortunately, I could see this actually happening. Ha, ha! Imagine a whole thesis worth of "no TV and too much beer make Denise go crazy! Urge to kill RISING!"):
