Why can't I log into a site or launch a web tuner program and watch broadcast TV? Is it bandwidth? Tussles over rights? It could be exactly like regular TV, commercials and all. Will this ever happen?

The TRUTH shall set you free. There will come a time when the Internet will rule the airways. Isn't a monitor a television of sorts? The reason for the delay is that soon anyone will be able to broadcast. Does that seem like something you would want to happen? Consider the number of people that have ideas at the extreme opposite of what you deem appropriate and proper. Scary stuff you talk about here.

I watch TV over the internet on the networks websites. They stream TV shows after they are first broadcast. See

I like the theory, but I think that the cable industry would throw a fit and lobby too much in Washington to make this happen.
Good idea though.
Do a search on YouTube if there is anything you want to watch. It might show up.

In my area AT&T is starting something called U-Verse that seems to be a type of TV over the Internet. It sounds interesting, but it's not available yet. They are putting a lot of fibre in the area and I think it will be up in 2008 some time.

There's streaming of news programs, and some networks broadcast online for free. You should do a little research....

Video takes an immense amount of bandwidth.

I know that disneychannel.com has something similar but I think for the most part people just rather watch it on TV

Bandwidth issues -- they can do it over power lines, and it is being developed.
