FREE Live TV from Google Chrome

Hello all,

This looks a pretty nice freebie. It does have some region blockers on it- but overall very good offering from Google.

Hope it helps some.

I'd recommend checking out the comments before deciding to install this. A lot of them are not very complimentary

"This app is trash. I'm glad it doesn't work on Linux or Mac as nobody with a brain or a taste deserves to be exposed to such a half-minded work".

I actually checked it out last night. It installed in a few seconds. It added a new icon to my Chrome browser. From there, you can click on your country (or any country for that matter) and then in my case (USA) my state. In my state there somewhere between 4-6 tv stations available. For all of the US, there were 90-some tv stations available.

Many of the stations available were ones I had never heard of. However, they also had things like ABC News, Fox News, CNN, CNBC, etc.

While I wasn't blown away, I did think it was worth having especially since we are considering dropping our satellite TV service and going pure internet (Hulu, Netflix, etc.) within the next couple of months.

The comments weren't very complimentary MC. But, it was the Live Sky News feed that i thought was great. First time i have ever found a link without it being a looped news feed. Have to agree with Kendall also. Saving money in the USA poor economy, comes as second nature these days. Anything that reduces the bills is welcome. Also, it installed in seconds for me with no problems so far.
