ChooseAndWatch is another web streaming TV channel aggregator similar to Channel Chooser, Streamick, and others. ChooseAndWatch offers more than 150 channels including BBC, C-Span, BBC, and Al Jazeera. As with the other channel aggregator sites, streaming quality and reliability is sometimes a problem even on very fast connections. As I have mentioned in my other posts on web TV channel aggregators, it is not clear whether ChooseAndWatch has secured the rights to rebroadcast these channels. HBO has shown up as a channel on several sites, and I find it hard to believe that HBO has authorized their content for redistribution by anyone.

Hey,
check this out (from the blog on that site):
“Our goal is to make one of the most visited websites in the world. Because we are a little confused about how to do it - we are making a contest: Send us your ideas, suggestions… and we will pay $ 5.000,00 to the author of the best idea. The contest starts on 1st September and finishes on 1st November 2006. As simple as that. Any questions?”
Notice that they said most visited, already seems sleazy (traffic over quality apparently). $5000 dollars
, either it’s a scam and they’ll never give the money, or they’re making a buttload of money that they’re able to give away $5000. Probably both!
I’m pretty sure the internet will replace tv in the next couple of years. There are plenty of sites where you can watch free tv online and even listen to radio channels.
Sites like streamick or channelchooser are pretty small in comparsion to sites like http://www.tevootv.com or wwitv.com, you should write about the big guys too.
Sounds like an advertisement, they all seem to have the same channels and I bet you own tevootv (most of the channels are dead on that one).
An update on the sites, Streamick is basically dead (low users, no updates). Only 2 that seem to be alive is channel chooser and freetube, the rest either don’t update or only update after these sites have.
Thanks Sidonis and Richard for your comments. The $5,000 contest does sound fishy. And I will take a look at tevootv.

Hey … I am reading about this posts, though a bit late I guess
I just wonder what happend to that $ 5.000,00 contest. Did anybody get it? And there’s a all sorts ot this web sites like live-online-tv.com, clickandseetv.com,… I guess that TV is slowly going online

It turns out that this site lied about the $5000. And now they’re creating a lot of ‘new’ sites that mirror the content on ChooseandWatch. Also they’re stealing a lot of the features on FreeTube and ChannelChooser. I noticed that freetube had that my channels thing and Channelchooser had the video section, and chooseandwatch just copied that right off the bat. They didn’t even change the text around, they just used “MyChannels” and made it look almost exactly the same.

Chooseandwatch likevid pickandwatch are all the same. the guy tries to sell porn to children and he talks openly about scamming people out of money fomr the adult sites he’s selling and advertising on the site. He’s a sleazeball.
