If you miss a TV show, you don't want to wait around for reruns or the arrival of DVDs. You don't have to either, because many shows are available online. You can access these shows quickly and easily. Many of the shows are even free, making viewing on the Internet as easy as watching on television. You have many choices when it comes to watching TV shows online, so all you need to do is choose.
Search for sites devoted your show. Many fan websites offer links to online video for the show, as well as episode information and recaps. If there is up-to-date information you need, these sites are the place to find it.

For shows that are currently airing, check the websites of the networks. Most non-cable networks provide Internet access to the most recent episodes of their programs.
3
Look for your show on websites like hulu.com, which air authorized videos of many different TV shows. Both on-air shows and older shows can be available via such sites, although most of the newer shows only have a few recent episodes.
4
It is possible to purchase episodes of TV shows online. iTunes is one of the most popular sources for current television shows, but you can also purchase online TV shows from sites like Amazon.com.
5
Use sites that offer television shows streamed live from stations around the world. This is an especially good way to watch TV not generally shown in the country where you live.
6
If you can't find your show any other way, do a search for free TV websites. Many of these sites are unauthorized, and few offer high-quality video. They do, however, provide links to virtually every TV show.
Tips & Warnings
If your Internet viewing is too slow, close other computer applications while you are watching.
If you use unauthorized websites, watch out for illegal activity, spyware and viruses. You should also be aware that video from such sites often disappears due to copyright violations.
Networks only keep a few of the most recent episodes on their websites. It is not likely that you will be able to find more than about five recent episodes in this way.
Although certain video cards have long allowed users to connect their computers directly to cable television, these cards are becoming increasingly obsolete...
