There are several different types of TV channels listed below. Some are well-known, traditional cable and network channels. Some are niche Web only based channels. And some are more video streaming channels than they are TV. In some cases, media owners are providing only a selection of shows from their full TV schedule, and often these are shown after they have been shown on television. The quality of the offerings varies dramatically from the likes of BBC World to low quality offerings that will appeal to only a few. All of the channels are free, expect where noted below.
When possible, I have listed the original source site for the channels. Several sites, including Channel Chooser, Streamick and others, are aggregating these channels on to one page. I have also listed those sites, although I am not sure if those channels have the rights to present the media on their site, and they may soon disappear.
A broadband Internet connection is required to view these channels, and even with broadband, quality and consistent error free streaming is sometimes the exception rather than the rule.
Please add your finds and favorites that are not included here by leaving us a comment below.
I have written several introductory/review posts on Channel Chooser, Streamick, and FreeTube.
Note: I don’t work for any of these sites, and I don’t have any affiliate relationship with them.

hi dennis, there have been big updates to http://netchannels.tv, if you have time please have a look
$TheStudents
netchannels is horrible, I suggest you fix it or take it down. design is horrible and the formatting of everything is just cheesy and makes the site look worse.
I really don’t see anyway to fix it since your site seems to be just poor imitation of many of the other sites reviewed on Xeep
OVGuide.com has a great list of video sites.
You forgot the mothersite of all internet tv channels:
http://wwitv.com
We Provide several channel, ranging from Racing, Comedy, Golf and a few Orlando channels. We will be adding more as time and oppurtunity allow. Enjoy!
Note that all of these channels listed above in “Entertainment”

Mystery Channel
TV Cartoons
Horror Channel
for which it says
Watch on: Channel Chooser
are actually sourced by AmericaFree.TV. While AmericaFree.TV does not have a problem with rebranding its content, it is a shame that there is no attribution to the source of the content and the bandwidth.
(BTW, netchannels.tv and live-online-tv.com also use AmericaFree.TV channels without attribution, and there are probably others.)
Another cool site is http://www.ChannelKing.com
wfiTV provides a selection of the best broadband internet television channels. - Enjoy news, TV shows, movies, music, entertainment and sports. Broadband internet connection recommended.
