TVUPlayer is simply awesome. With TVU, you can watch live TV as it happens! This is especially convenient for those of you who do not have cable but also for people like me who want to turn their laptop into a portable cable television. It was especially cool the other day when I was on a road trip while a football game was on TV. Rather than miss the broadcast, I used my Blackberry as a portable modem and streamed the game with TVU! When it was over, I switched over to Comedy Central… again, while driving!

As far as channels go, TVU has plenty and has a nice guide-style layout so you can quickly find what you are looking for. Some of the major channels I have available to choose from as I write this include: CBS, Bloomberg, Fox News, SpikeTV, Comedy Central, SciFi, Nickelodeon, ABC News from New York City, Fox News from New Orleans, and plenty more. In addition to well-known stations, several users broadcast their own custom channels such as one totally dedicated to the show Dragonball Z and another than shows nothing but weird, old movies.

Note: You may find that the show you expect to be on whatever station is not on when it should be. If this happens, the reason is most likely that you are from a different time zone than the person broadcasting the station.
