Online television is the latest fad that people are getting hooked at. One can now watch all kinds of TV broadcast over the internet from all over the world. The big question is “What does one need to watch tv on internet?”. First and foremost of course is that one must have a computer or a laptop with an internet connection. This internet connection must be broadband or must have a high bandwidth since large audio-visual files will be streamed. Then one can acquire a program or software that enables one to watch TV online. Though some are viewable through flash/java-enabled sites, a person is given an option to download video files. In this case, media player software is necessary.
