Don't have Comcast or U-Verse subscription to watch through NBC? Don't despair! There is a guy in China who can watch it all on his TV, well maybe even more than one guy. And what he does is he is streaming it to the web for all to see.<br />

This is what's behind the technology called SOPCast. It is like bittorrent only for life streams. You can read on how to install it at <a href="http://www.sopcast.com/">sopcast.com</a>.

They talk about Youtube, Hulu and even Netflix. One solution they recommend specifically for Hulu is to use <span style="color: #719602; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">RTMPDumpHelper</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"> and </span><span style="color: #719602; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">RTMP Dump Toolkit</span></span>.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is <span style="background-color: white;">download two zip files: </span><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32.zip">http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32.zip</a> and </span><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmpdumphelper.zip">http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmpdumphelper.zip</a> then unzip to the same folder somewhere on your computer (Windows only).

It's a free service that tells you if the movie is available on Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, iTunes. It also covers subscription services like Netflix and DVD rentals like RedBox.

<a href="http://Icefilms.info">Icefilms.info</a> is still going as a strong choice for movies and tv shows and they seem to rely on rapidshare now as their primary storage.

Of course if you are less pirate-bound there are now more than ever legal opportunities. Amazon offers a lot of movies for $3.99 a pop and some of them are free with their Prime membership.

It is not free per se, but after a measly 8 bucks/month you get access to literally tens of thousands of free movies and tv shows.
None of the freshest movies are there to begin with, but it is awesome for catching up with those 1-2 year old gems you might have wanted to see but somehow didn't get to. It also comes with a nice recommendation engine, picking streams that you might like to watch next based on your viewing history and movie ratings.

The Protector (2011) is a really good cop drama, the twist here is that both LAPD partners are female. Also Weeds is still kicking strong with its 7th season of HBO hilariousness.<br />
<br />
You can watch The Protector on Hulu, for the rest head on icefilms.info (and there you can stream without commercials). Once again, it is your responsibility to make sure what you are streaming is legit in your country.<br />

I did some digging recently and here is a step-by-step guide.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 1:</span> The best free software I found for downloading from Hulu is streamtransport. Download it from <a href="http://streamtransport.com">streamtransport.com</a> and install (Windows 7, Vista or XP)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 2:</span> Run the program and click "Visit Hulu" button in the top right corner. The top part of the software is essentially a web-browser that will display Hulu main page. Click to play your favorite show or movie.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 3</span>: In the bottom part you will see a link appear with the name of the show (e.g. Hulu - Dancing With The Stars Week 3 Results - Watch the full episode now. Select it and click "Download" button.<br /><br />That's it! In a few minutes you will have a .flv file. You can play it with many free players, for example a free <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/">VLC player</a><br /><br />As a bonus, the video will be stripped of all the commercial, so you can consider it a way to remove commercials from Hulu too!<br /><br />Stay tuned to this page to find out about new free online streaming software as it becomes available!Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594052534411946942.post-56611534258550303442010-06-10T10:04:00.002-04:002010-06-10T10:08:33.638-04:00Where to Watch World Cup Streaming Online?For the soccer fans out there, the question is looming as the 3 weeks of joy in South Africa are upon us.

I did some digging. <br /><br />Turns out there is a free app that lets you download Hulu shows as FLV files. It is called <a href="http://www.streamtransport.com/">StreamTransport</a> and features a split screen with a full functional browser on top and the download button at the bottom. Just navigate to the show you would like to watch and click download. <br /><br />Now you have a file on your hard drive and whenever there is a commercial you can fast forward through it.

You can either play them inside your browser window by installing a free plugin or in their standalone player. <br /><br />Two sites I have been downloading or streaming movies from recently are<a href="http://divxfest.com/"> divxfest.com</a> and <a href="http://divxthatmovie.com">divxthatmovie.com</a>, but you can always find many more free DivX streaming sites at <a href="http://ovguide.com">ovguide.com</a> or by revisiting <a href="http://freestreamonline.blogspot.com">Free Stream Online</a><br /><br />The best part is that DivX files can be later saved to a folder of your choosing. Even if you don't choose to save the file explicitly, the player plugin saves a copy for you once the buffering of the entire movie stream is finished, so that when you later open your browser the movie will play from your hard drive.Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594052534411946942.post-67700492474637218342009-11-17T20:12:00.005-05:002009-11-17T20:19:58.384-05:00Alternative source for free TV episodesHulu has been less than reliable lately, which makes one search for alternatives.

No more ads on Hulu, but for how long?<br />
<br />
<br />
Update 2011/08/17: As of now I am not aware of any sure way how to skip ads on Hulu. There is a Chrome extension that strips ads from YouTube videos, you install it from <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bdokagampppgbnjfdlkfpphniapiiifn">Chrome Webstore</a><br />
<br />
Ever wanted to skip those annoying 30 second commercials on Hulu? Now you can by simply using <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html">Firefox</a> and installing <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865">Adblock Plus</a> (one of the most popular Firefox extensions):<br />
<br />
The Firefox extension Adblock Plus version 1.02 enabled and subscribed to "Easylist USA" causes all commercials except the 7 second intro commercial to be skipped. The screen goes dark for a few seconds at each commercial - then the show resumes.<br />
<br />
Great for people who don't like their online streams to be interrupted by obtrusive commercial breaks.<br />

This comes as a devastating strike to Google who was also negotiating a deal with ABC to put some of their streaming content on YouTube. Rejoice, you can now stream episodes of Gray's Anatomy and Lost from Hulu with very few commercial interruptions. <br /><br />Hulu, a joing partnership of NBC and Fox has now added Disney, which brings it to 3 out 4 nationwide TV networks. Only CBS is missing, despite that Hulu more and more becomes <b>the central place</b> to watch your free streams online. Hulu is not the best place to stream movies though, only TV shows and other non-feature content.<br /><br />In unrelated news, the open source media center <a href="http://boxee.tv">Boxee </a>has now released an aplha version that runs on Windows. They also fixed Hulu streaming problems. You can download a <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4659779/Boxee_Windows_Alpha_0.9.7.4825">private alpha here</a>. <br /><br />Boxee also supports Joost, MTV, Youtube and many other online streaming sources. It can stream music from Pandora and Last.FM, not to mention all the movies, pictures and MP3's on your computer or in your network.Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594052534411946942.post-2665893172868658982009-04-17T09:51:00.003-04:002009-04-17T09:57:51.059-04:00Google adds Movies, TV ShowsGoogle today added movie and TV show streaming content to its YouTube website. Some of the big names are are Sony, CBS, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, BBC and independent film studio Lions Gate Entertainment. There are advertisements inside the streams and they cannot be skipped, but hey! it's free! A lot of the shows are the "oldies", but you can find some golden nuggets there like the Cliffhanger (1993). To check out their free streams go to a separate section linked from YouTube's main menu, titled <a href="http://www.youtube.com/shows">Shows</a>.<br /><br />This is yet another desperate attempt from Google to monetize their online streaming services. The user generated content hosted on YouTube hardly bring any revenue and is hard to pitch to the advertisers, whereas the bandwidth cost to support millions of streams are substantial. <br /><br />In my view, this is not a serious threat to Hulu as long as they don't bring us fresher TV shows and an expanded collection of online movies. On the other hand, any competition is good for us - users - it will drive up the quality of service and bring down the number of commercials per second.Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594052534411946942.post-23559702512788055172009-04-07T10:16:00.004-04:002009-04-07T21:10:12.002-04:00Legal Online StreamingJust stumbled on this newer website called <a href="http://ireel.com">IReel</a>. They promise streaming of latest release with a free registration. You get previews and some other features for free, but at the end of the day you would have to pay for movies. I know i know.. I am supposed to keep this blog strictly about finding <strong>free</strong> streams online, but read on.<br /><br />I had my qualms with Amazon Unbox streaming movies, so this might be a viable competitor to try out. When I first heard that Amazon started selling streaming movies through their Unbox service I was thrilled to say the least. At the time, about three years ago, this was the only alternative to watch from your computer what you would normally have to go to Blockbuster for. So I bought in, and the first couple of times it was satisfactory, although an average movie would take 3-4 hours to download, so no real-time online streaming per se. It still required to install their proprietary player with DRM and the discounted deals ran out too. <br /><br />Netflix has been trying to do the same only in combination with their traditional DVD rental program, but promises are to get streaming only video subscription service going by the end of 2009. All these services, be it Amazon or Netflix, in my opinion still suffer from a very poor selection of titles.<br /><br />There is a decent comparison table of on-demand online video streaming services on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_on_demand_services">wikipedia</a>.

There is no stopping you, so you set on a quest to find your favorite free tv show online. <br /><br />Let us explore free online streaming options that are especially good for finding TV shows. <br /><br />Stage 0: First things first: maybe a TV show you are looking for is REALLY free. Check out ABC, CBS and NBC website, they <span style="font-weight:bold;">do have a lot of streaming content</span> freely available and in great quality. Note: this is the only legal way I know of to find your shows online.<br /><br />Stage 1: You can start by finding TV shows through <a href="http://youtube.com">YouTube</a> and the likes. Often times the streams don't stay there for long and are removed by the copyright owners within a few hours. No need to despair- read on to consider other steps to find free tv shows online <br /><br />Stage 2: Check out a couple places that aggregate TV streams from a bunch of other sites. To start with <a href="http://www.sidereel.com">SideReel.com</a> is a good option for finding both tv series and movies. If you are into dark web-desings <a href="http://tv-video.net/">TV-Video.net</a> has a good number of latest TV-shows appearing just as they air.<br /><br />Stage 3: Finding tv through google. The streams are often name by season and episode s01e03 or s1e03. Try doing a google search with the name of the season and the episode you are trying to find. Don't forget to add the words "free stream" or "streaming". Let's pretend you are a House MD fan: try this search <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS301US318&q=house+s05e12+streaming&btnG=Search">"house s05e12 streaming"</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS301US318&q=house+s05e12+free+stream&btnG=Search">house s05e12 free stream</a>. You might notice that in addition to all the streaming options you get a lot of torrent sites. BitTorrent is a good option if you are willing to wait a couple of hours, so try add <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS301US318&q=house+s05e12+free+stream&btnG=Search">house s05e12 free stream -torrent </a> to you search query to ensure you are getting streaming options only.<br /><br />A note of caution: while searching for free online streams you may notice a phrase "Google TV" flickering by here and there. It is a scam! As of now there is no such thing, but how knows...<br /><br />Hope this will shine some light on the art of finding free tv shows online. <br /><br />P.S. All things above are for educational purposes only... of course.Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594052534411946942.post-4250698606039952562009-03-11T10:13:00.001-04:002009-03-12T10:42:13.231-04:00Free Stream Online: Best Places To Find OneI hope this blog will become a useful resource for all avid free online stream seekers like myself. We have an unprecedented opportunity today to get more and more of what we enjoy in watching TV for free. Moreover we can do it on our own terms: when we want and exactly how we want it. Although there are many great alternative ways to get your movies (torrents or file sharing sites) I will focus primarily on online streams. I believe their immediacy is akin to what we are used in a regular TV set. Push the button and watch your favorite program!<br /><br />There are several types of free online streaming resources available. Let me start with my favorite: <span style="font-weight:bold;">streaming directories</span> or <span style="font-weight:bold;">online tv guides</span>. The best online streaming guide I am using now is <a href="http://ovguide.com">ovguide.com</a>. Yes, just like TV Guide only "online videos". It provides links to a variety of free ad-supported streams like <a href="http://www.joox.net/">Joox</a> or <a href="http://hulu.com">Hulu</a>, featuring movies, TV shows, SNL clips and many more. <br /><br />In OV Guide all links are categorized by genre (Movies, Sports, News, Adult, Tech, Science, etc) in a very user friendly left-side menu. You can find a section with cartoons for kids and adults, video blogs and even free online radio shows. The very first thing you would see on their page is a list of top 10 movie searches, information on what streams people are watching now and also some editor's picks.<br /><br />The best feature of OV Guide is that is provides statistics on site views. Forget the ratings! If the online stream was rated by a couple of devotees as a 5, it still gets the highest rank, but this is ... excuse my French... a non-representative sample. Usually the sites with exceptionally high ratings represent relatively new streams and are not of high quality. On the other hand, the total number of views for the streaming site is something you can count on. Especially, since the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands.<br /><br />In future posts for <a href="http://freestreamonline.blogspot.com">Free Stream Online</a> I will keep coming back to OV Guide featuring topical reviews of free streams that can be found there.<br /><br />If you have any strong feelings about this page please comment with suggestions. Also let me know what kinds of video streaming are you looking for and I promise to get creative and dive much deeper into the subject of finding free streams online.Free Movie Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506214418180681480noreply@blogger.com
