Where there’s a recession, computer users will find a way to save bucks.  In the past, folks were able to hook up a TV tuner to their desktop and play basic channels from their TV provider, for free.  Now, computer savvy folks are just downloading movies and shows and ditching their cable boxes.  There is so much free content out there that has good resolution to it that makes getting rid of the TV box easier that you think.

The big drawback is that most content on the Internet is in the past, not real-time.   So, if you’re looking to go to HBO, Cinemax, or STARZ, that’s not going to happen directly.  If you’re a bit lazy when watching TV, regular cable is great because it gives you the menu of options that lists the lastest movies that have just been released after DVD or theatre release.  On the computer, you have to search for a movie, or with some advanced websites, can look by genre.

So, how do you find the good websites to watch TV.  We’ve listed our top 5 websites that are the best for watching TV on your computer:

1. Hulu: One of the clearest movie viewers out there.  Also shows legal-approved content.
2. FreeTVOnline.com: Easy interface and clear picture.  And real-time broadcasting too.
3.  Boxee: You can watch Hulu, ABC, and stream Netflix through it.
4. ww.itv.com: showcases live content around the world
5. Alluc.org: An easy way to find movies, shows, and content quickly
