Streams from all over the world - sports, films, tv -- you name it's got it.
Essential add-ons include Navi-X and MashUp, but there are many others too.
For Mac lovers run it through a jailbroken Apple TV 2.
This is largely an amateur driven technology, but boy it does deliver.
Ain't the internet great. Wealth keeps trying to control it, but they keep failing because it also enriches them at the same time.
In the UK I can't watch 3 o'clock football kickoffs, because the FA prohibits any broadcaster from transmitting them, for fear that fans will simply avoid buying a ticket to watch the match at the stadium, and just watch on TV. This is such backward, restrictive thinking by people who have no creativity or flexibility, but do have the power to impose their will on all. The thing is that there are fans all over the country -- far more than enough to fill the major stadiums dozens and dozens, probably hundreds, of times over -- but because of distance, finances or other commitments could never attend the stadium anyway. It requires re-thinking and a little flexibility and latitude. But money talks louder than anything else so it's verboten.
The madness is that today, in Blighty, the home of football, I can't watch a Saturday 3pm match -- only the highlights late at night. Yet across the rest of the world broadcasters do carry premier league 3 o'clock football kick-off games, which drives me nuts. It's not always top HD quality, but often is.
So for the frustrated fans and those who can never afford to subscribe to pay tv - the great majority - this is an excellent solution.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
