Here's Why

TV by RSS

I just downloaded the Juice podcatcher and loaded it up with feeds from tvRSS. Now I can catch TV shows over the internet that don't get broadcast here - automatically! Juice even downloads torrents, and works on linux, windows and OSX.

I've also been looking at streaming with my GeeXbox, instead of waiting for downloads. I can stream anything from www.archive.org as if it were another TV station, without any drop-outs or delays. I watched The Power of Nightmares without having to wait for a download. In the same way, the Beyond Belief seminars can be streamed straight from the website. I used the "DownloadThemAll" plugin to find the actual mp4 video links, and then pasted them to this m3U playlist file to play on GeeXbox
