5: Why squeeze on the sofa when you have internet TV?


Looks familiar? All that limited space, all that angst, all that discomfort...
Squeezing on the sofa couches to secure yourself a seat when a certain programme airs on the television is now a passe thing, why squeeze when you now have access to internet TV?

Internet TV has a few kinds, mainly websites that uploads old episodes of shows that have been already aired live on TV broadcast stations but you have missed it because of some reasons OR websites that create their own kind of programs, programs that you cannot watch on TV. Let me show you some examples.

Firstly the xinmsn website (everyone familiar with this website?). What does xinmsn do? This website uploads every episode of local programs the day right after it was broadcast live on TV.


They have videos on different tabs (e.g channel 5, channel 8) and label each show and episode accordingly which makes it easier for us consumers to catch up on whichever show we prefer. The only limitation that i've found out about this website is that they only cover local shows, I am not sure about overseas shows, however usually people watch those from youtube and many other torrents.

The other website that I would like to introduce would be clicknetwork.tv. This website produces different kind of short internet shows, whereby every episode is only a roughly 8 minute video log. The best thing about these shows is that they are not produced by local media stations which means that they are only available to view on the internet!



These are some screenshots of available episodes that you can watch. There are shows that cover beauty products, shopping etc. There are even episodes that cover the new of that particular week. Most of them are really funny, so those of you who have not tried exploring such mediums, GO! You're missing out on a lot. The website is http://www.clicknetwork.tv.

I cannot believe that I am never squeezing on the couch just to secure my seat during my favourite show ever again. Yay to technology.

  1. Same! i refuse to squeeze on the couch to watch tv with the rest of the family already. Instead i just download all the shows I want to watch and then watch them in the comfort of my room. Internet tv is amazing! You can even stream shows from any websites and watch as and when you like. hurray!
