A new site, ChannelChooser.com, is going up the Alexa rankings and briefly broke into the Top 1000 sites. ChannelChooser a simple website where you just click on a channel, and start watching TV.
But it isn't perfect. First, who wants to watch TV on their computer? I suppose if the quality eventually gets good enough we could use channelchooser as a sort of virtual Tivo and start recording shows, and then playing them on our TV... but that seems to be a distant dream. Then, there is the selection. At first blush, it looks pretty good, with 70 channels to choose from. But look further. Where is MTV, HBO Movies ? I can't find it.
Channel Chooser is interesting, but at present limited to a relatively small audience. Get more channels, get high quality video and get plugins to work with Tivo, save shows and then we have something.
A similar site is:
