At work? Need to watch TV?

We’ve been busy here at work, I don’t want to miss any soccer (even though I’m DVR’ing it) and I don’t have a sling box (yet!) so I’ve been using a cool P2P TV service called: TVU. Basically it works like any other P2P / BitTorrent client, you watch (download from someone) and you donate (upload to someone). There aren’t a lot of channels all of the time, but usually you can catch a decent amount of sports and other stuff. So if you’re like me and can’t miss your sport or you don’t have cable, check it out!

    Very interesting concept. I couldn’t get anything to be watchable though. It would skip and jump all the time. I don’t have super fast DSL like some people though. :)

    It works pretty well, I’ve been using it all day today, even with our VOIP phone in use it still looks pretty smooth, some channels seem to be worse than others, i’d imagine it’d depends largely on the original SEED client for a channel.

    It also seems to be more fluid as time goes on and with more clients with better speeds. Also I’m sure there are a lot of people at work (on T1s) watching what i’m watching!
