Cable TV via the INTERNET?

[Kenny S]

I live in europe.
Is there a way to recieve the channels that cable tv companies have in USA
via the internet?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

I do not believe it is legal to transmit US cable programming on the
internet. In any case, no, cable tv programming is available on the
internet today.

Correction: "is NOT available on the internet today."

Current 'bandwidth limitations' on cable internet access, let alone ADSL or
Modem, would be the first things to stop any 'television' data being
trasmitted via the internet.

As for the rest of the argument...
Who pays for it?
Who will sacrifice current capacity?
etc

All become irrelevant.

And cable broadcasters have license scope to deal with.

Well if I was watching tv on my pc with my tv card and you took over my
desktop remotely, would you not be able to watch my tv and change channels
and everything? So set on up in the us and go back to europe and watch it.

 

[Kenny S]

No that would not work.
Remote desktop does not handle video and other moving images well.

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

A TV tuner is still a tv receiver no matter how you watch it. The issue is
transmission, not reception. A person can choose freely how to receive a
signal so long as he is doing so within the law. Transmission regulations
are another kettle of fish.

All of 'em, no. Some of them, maybe. Try the NASA channel (a satellite
channel) at

Don't know where you live. I live in Germany, and watch Sky. It has MANY US
TV shows. You might want to check it out. However, I believe it is illegal
to obtain Sky outside of the UK. But, there are ways...I hear...

What does receiving the NASA channel via satellite have to do with "Cable TV
