How to Watch TV Programs Online

You can watch TV virtually anywhere.

Whether you're too busy with something else or you simply can't watch two TV shows at a time, you might end up missing a show you're fond of, or want to see for the first time. While you can purchase a digital recording device, there are a variety of ways to watch many shows online for free.

Things You'll Need

• A high speed internet connection
• A computer

Instructions

1. Check a show's network website. For example, if you want to watch episodes of "The Office", head to NBC's website. Network sites typically have a tab to click on for full episodes. Not all shows are available on any network and you might have to wait a week or so for the newest episode to be available online.

2. Look at websites devoted to offering TV shows and movies. For example, Hulu offers many old and new movies and TV shows for free. It also offers "Hulu Plus" for a fee, which provides broader content.

3. Try Netflix. As of publication, Netflix charges $7.99 for unlimited streaming videos. Many recent popular TV shows are available, but the most recent episodes might be available only by adding DVDs by mail, at an extra cost. For example, the first two seasons of the FX drama "Sons of Anarchy" are available online, but the third is by DVD only, as of publication.
