As we rush headlong into the brave new world of the high-speed internet, its very easy to forget that at one time we all used to sit around the tv for our evening's entertainment! (Some of us old folks used to huddle round the radio - but that's another story!) . Recently its been a world dominated by Google Video and YouTube, but the traditional tv companies have started fighting back in a big way - welcome to the world of IP/TV. Nowadays, you don't have to pay for a TV bill or a satellite bill, and be limited to what you can watch without upgrading to yet another package when you get bored of the same old stuff every night l! Eh! Whats that you say? Well, I watch TV, movies, sports and highlighted events before anyone else because I decided to try some new software that opens up over 3000 channels on my computer.

At first I couldn't believe that all these channels were just...well out there! Some take a bit to load but it's understandable because they are from all around the globe. The selection of movies is fantastic - new releases can be found as well as the old classics and I can now just pluck anything I want to watch digitally without having to own a DVD library, or pay some network for their limited content base. Overall I'm very, very impressed with this so far!

Of course, what I'm talking about is IPTV - basically TV channels streamed via the internet. This new software - IPTuber - compiles and programs a huge array of channels from over 80 countries, and it only cost me a small fee that was actually LESS than any of my monthly bills. So, can I expect the cops to come knocking at my door? No way, this is all legal and above board. There are no laws on this deregulated market yet, nor will there be for quite some time as technology and content evolve so quickly.

Most of the channels that you probably already watch are there, plus tons of new ones - in fact, its hard to even keep up with all the content at your fingertips.

The beautiful thing is that you can either watch the programs full screen on your PC or , if you have the hardware, connect your PC right up to your TV screen and watch it all in glorious bigscreen action - now thats what I'm talkin about!

Frightened by the technology? Well don't be. Believe me if I can set it up - you definitely can - I struggle to switch my TV on some times J Basically if you already have an internet connection and a half-decent PC its as simple as running setup.
