Never miss your fave TV show again!

Never miss your fave TV show again!

Stuck on evening shift and missed Underbelly? Didn't get home in time to catch the latest episode of Glee? Or have you recently discovered two of your favourite TV series are showing at the same time and your video can only record one station at a time and you're not ready to upgrade to TiVo? Don't despair! Most networks offer streaming video of their shows.

For Free-to-Air TV stations ABC iView offers full episodes at excellent quality. SBS also offers full episodes of some programs at http://www.sbs.com.au

For Channel 7, check out http://au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7
For Channel 9, http://www.nine.com.au/video.aspx
For Channel 10, http://ten.com.au/watch-tv-episodes-online.htm

Free-To-Air TV stations don't make all of their content available, but they do provide a great selection!

Because catch up TV uses your internet connection, consider two things: the speed of your connection and your data allowance. For internet connection, ABC iView recommends at least 1.1 Mbps. To test your connection, go to the iView website and click on "Bandwidth".

For data allowance, check your account details on your ISP's website, or call your ISP for assistance.

If you exceed your monthly data quota, your ISP will either:

  1. slow your internet connection speed until the end of the month
  2. charge you for the extra data

The good news is that some ISPs are now offering unmetered access to ABC iView. This means that they don't count data usage when you're watching ABC iView. Click on this link to check if your ISP is one of them

Now with a bit of careful planning you'll never have to miss your fave TV show ever again!
