Hi there.

Yes there are, very many, there are 3 types:

First: The pay per month, type you install the software, select the chanels you want, the quality is usually pretty good, some charge a base monthly rate and you can watch 24/7, others you pay a fixed amount and you have so many minutes after you have to buy more.

Second: The pay the software once an watch for ever no additionnal charges, the software is not that expensive and it works well, the quality is pretty good, but varies depending of the source.

Third: FREE internet tv uses internet explorer, and either Real Pleayer, Quick time (iTunes), Win's Media Player, and/or Winamp See POST #6 on this thread, the programs are FREEWARE, but the quality of the shows and visual quality vary greatly, and there are literally thoughsands of chanels to choose from and from EVERY country on the earth.

The only bad side is internet usage, if your internet limit is low, it will be over very quickly and you MAY get a LARGER bill than you expected, aspecially with mobile internet where you get only a few 3-6 gigs per month at $50-$100+ every month, and it gets REAL expensive to exceed those limits.

To find the sites that offer these services you google: "tv on the internet" without the quotes and you will get the usual google millions of results...

None of these require any special hardware, other than a P3+ computer and hi speed internet access.

As for the best quality, because of internet and other media and software limitations, the internet TV picture quality is at the moment inferior to regular TV, so you have to try to find what you want and see itf the quality and reliability is acceptable.

ADDITONNAL: if you have a hi quality video card with all the bells and whistles, and a TV with Video in, you can connect your TV to your computer and watch internet TV on your (hopefully) big screen TV, or play your favorite game, it won't increase the quality but it will allow the whole family or freinds to watch, or even watch regular TV on your PC, only expensive video cards do that, but there are some inexpensive ($20) TV in cards that allow you to do this, AND record TV also, i have one of those cards and it works fine, with an antennae or cable tv.
