Share Home Movies On TiVo For Free

Upload five of your favorite home movie video clips to TiVo between now and 30 April '07, and you'll be able to share them with any other TiVo subscribers for free. After the free offer ends, you can upload video clips to TiVo to share with family and friends for as little as $3.99 per month.

TiVo subscribers receive the shared movies for free, so Grandma doesn't have to pay to see your delightful vacation you and the kids videotaped just for her. TiVo's service allows you to edit the video after it's uploaded, so you can remove any embarassing parts or rearrange the clips. And only those family and friends you give the channel code to that you create for each uploaded video will be able to see the video on their TiVos. The channel will appear on their TiVos as "Home Movies from One True Media" in their "Now Playing Section."

So if you don't want cousin Ralph or the neighbors to see your video, you don't have to give them the channel code, and they'll never know you uploaded any videos to TiVo, even if they have TiVo subscriptions.

Put Live TV On Your Web Site, Blog, Or Home Page

Ever wonder if your Web site, blog or Google Personalized Home Page is missing something important? If you don't have any free Google Gadgets to spice it up, it probably is. Give your readers the opportunity to watch TV from a live TV channel on your Web page or blog with the free Live TV Gadget. Or you can watch TV yourself on your Google Personalized Home Page if you don't have a Web site or blog.

Take a look at a few examples of Web sites with the Live TV Gadget, Maine Television Stations and Calf Killer Old Time Radio.

Free And Legal BitTorrents

Now that BitTorrent.com is renting its wares at $1.99 for TV episodes and $2.99 to $3.99 for movies that expire 24 hours after you start watching them or within 30 days of the download, it seems that there's no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to our favorite movies downloaded from the Internet.

Or is there? Free and legal Web sites that use BitTorrent technology can be found if one knows where to look. NewTeeVee.com published a list of 10 Web sites that offer free and legal BitTorrent downloads, so you can hold off on getting that Windows PC and installing Microsoft's Windows Media Player 11, which is the only operating system and video playing technology the DRM videos BitTorrent.com downloads can use.

Watch TV on Your PC

Ever want to put a T.V. in the same room as your PC so you can surf the Internet . . . uh, work on your computer during commercial breaks? Now you don't have to, because the T.V. can come to your PC. Watch more than 300 live television channels on your PC. It requires a broadband Internet connection, but it works with any version of Windows from Windows 98 and newer, as long as your screen resolution is a minimum of 1024 X 768.

Or if you want to do something really useful, you can learn a foreign language by listening to people speak in their native tongues, whether it be Spanish, German, French, Portugese or Arabic, since these live channels are broadcast from countries around the world. Ausgezeichnet, dude.

This freeware application has far more awards than can be mentioned here. If you scroll down on their home page, you'll see what I mean.
