    hrm.. in order to do that you need to download some programs.. i believe one of the programs is called PPLive and its pretty popular.. although you have to tune to the right channel to watch TVB and stuff.. - i've heard a lot about it.. but i have yet to try it out myself.. so try it at your own risk i guess or ask other experienced users for their opinion :p

    sopcast.com keep in mind most of these programs work like a p2p program which requires u to use your upload speed in order to help other people stream too so u need to reserve your upload speed in order to watch without buffer.

    What you can do is buy a TV tuner card. This is basically an add on that goes into your PCI slots that comes with a Jack that allows you to hook up a cable/satellite box directly to your computer. Using it is free but it costs about $20 each. Using the card, will transform your computer into a TV, allowing you to channel surf and what not. Best of all, it doesn't tie up your connection.
