Watch 3000 TV Channels on Your PC

I’ve been looking for sites that let you watch TV on-line.  Just to find my favorite shows or movies I didn’t get a chance to see.  I’ve seen several sites but have found two that might be worth joining.  Check out the FAQs and judge for yourself.  Do you know of a better site than these?  Let me know!

————————————————————————————————————————-

huluTested a few times and it looks pretty free to me.  Good for TV shows but no movies except for clips.

———————————————————————————————————————

isoftwaretv

Movies, TV series, Sports, Music Videos and News. The site has all of the things I need to have confidence in service.  FAQ, Contact us, About page and Testimonials.  I like this one because of the movies.

————————————————————————————————–

satellitetv-for-pc

Everything!  Movies, TV Series, Sports, News, Music but not free.  $49.00 reduced from $100.  Finally, there is a FAQ section but no contact us section which leaves me a little sceptical.  I need more info about this one before I join.
