Since this is very similar to what MyLibraryTV offers, I thought I’d list them here:

• AOL Television (http://television.aol.com/in2tv) – AOL Time-Warner’s internet TV network. TV classics like Gilligan’s Island and Welcome Back, Kotter. (Some shows may be downloaded using a plug-in with Windows Media Player and the Microsoft IE 6 browser. This is not available for users of the new Microsoft IE 7 browser, users of the Firefox browser or Apple computers.)
• ABC TV (http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing) – offers full-length streaming of it’s most popular shows: Desperate Housewives; Grey’s Anatomy; Lost. No special software needed to watch episodes.
• CBS TV (http://www.cbs.com/innertube) – offers full-length streaming of it’s most popular shows: CSI franchise; Survivor. Plays via Windows Media Player or Real Player.
• FOX TV / FOX on demand (http://www.myspace.com/fox) – corporate tie-in to sister entity MySpace, use the FOX Full Throttle Player (via Microsoft IE browser) to view ful-episodes of popular shows: Bones; Prison Break
• NBC TV (http://www.nbc.com/Video) – offers show clips, deleted scenes, and previews via their 24/7 video player (Windows Media Player plug-in). Also for a limited time only(!), “high-quality downloads available” for some shows if you have a PC using the new Intel Viiv or Centrino processors.
