Millions of Americans are finding ways to watch breaking news online, in a live stream, rather than waiting to read news articles.

Follow these simple steps and in no time you can have your computer or mobile device streaming news and shows in real time all at the click of a button.
To begin, find an open source movie or video available for anyone to download. The user may use the Internet Archive for the downloadable movie as a source. Start to stream selected channels and news stations or movies from legal websites like network TV stations or websites with the legal authority or license to perform video streaming.
There are several known sites that provide these services such as all the major networks including NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox. Some sites also offer episodes previously aired and are now available online to movie enthusiasts. Accessing an account on Hulu.com provides users an invaluable online resource that can allow the user to watch full length television shows and movies or even just clips. Additionally, the user may also sign up and choose favorite shows which will then provide the user with new shows on the list whenever these shows are made available by the network providers.
Once you discover how easy it is to find cable networks and news programs online, you may feel like branching out and watching movies and more online. But remember, one can purchase movies online only from licensed dealers and vendors. Some of the more popular and accepted online sites include Unbox and iTunes. Other technologies offering online television include BitTorrent, Dirac, HTTP, AOL’s Nullsoft Streaming Video, RSS, RSS enclosure, RTSP, SMIL, WTVML, and others.
News programs, movies and cable and network shows can also be rented from these online sites by downloading the movie although available only for a limited period. Some websites have been known to provide users with the opportunity of downloading a particular number of movies on a given period.
Users may also visit the websites provided by their local public library. These library systems have been known to provide users with downloadable video files involving educational programs as well as art related movies. You always new your library was a great source for books, and more recently, movies. But now that some libraries are getting even more up to speed with modern technology, providing website access to Internet television, the sky is truly the limit. Happy watching!
