How to Watch TV on a Laptop for Free

Laptops have become a common tool for both students and professionals. While the computer is essential for school and at work, laptops also can be used for entertainment purposes. That includes watching TV for free using services such as Hulu. Like standard television, Hulu does run advertisements during shows. However, these are much shorter than the commercial blocks on TV. Using Hulu is a free, legal way of watching TV anywhere your laptop can connect to the Internet.
