There are various online sources that allow users to stream their favorite TV shows onto their computer. To stream a TV show, log on to one of the stream websites, such as tvshack.cc or ustream.tv. Use the search option to locate a specific TV program or look in the "Recently Viewed" section on the home page to find your chosen TV show. Click on the show and select an episode. Click "Play" when a video appears, and start streaming immediately. If the Internet connection is slow, click "Play" followed by "Pause" once the video starts. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes before watching the program.
Some TV channels offer shows online after they have aired on their network. If you enjoy watching a show that is produced and aired on a specific channel, you can usually stream it on that channel's website. To do this, log on to the respective TV channel website and locate the video section. Find the program you want to stream, and press "Play" once the video loads. If the website of your chosen channel does not have a video section, it may not offer the streaming option.
If you are on the run or commuting for hours each day, you can catch up on your favorite TV programs with your mobile device. Modern mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone or the RIM Blackberry offer online access, with media players to allow streaming videos. You may need to download some applications for this to work, depending on your brand and model of device. Once you have the proper software in place, stream TV programs using either the browser on the mobile device or transfer already downloaded files from your computer to your mobile device and watch them on the run.
