I Want My Free TV...Can I Get Movies With That?

Top Ten Places to Watch Television and Movies For Free Online

How about free tv? How about free movies?  Have you ever wondered if you could watch television and movies for free on your computer? Yep, you can watch free Internet tv online and watch movies online free.  Well, I found this out since selling my television ahead of the digital television transition which has been delayed until June 12, 2009.  The next day, June 13, 2009, television stations will be broadcasting digital television and if you have an older TV like me, then you will have to get a digital converter box or be at the mercy of your cable provider.  So, since selling my old analog television I have been enjoying free television online as well as free movies online.

Here are 10 of my favorite sites for watching free television and free movies in no particular order of preference.  Some of the sites actually allow you to download free tv shows.  What is better than free tv?  How about free movies?  Bear in mind that although you will be able to watch many of your favorite television series and movies online for free, some sites have ads, limited commercials and other things, like links to help them bring you the shows and programs you enjoy.  Don’t be discouraged; just remember every platform needs a sponsor or benefactor to do what they do.

Once again, here are 10 of my favorites online: 

1)  http://www.fancast.com/  Watch full TV episodes, movies & trailers.

2)  http://www.hulu.com/  A site that has NBC & Fox programming.

3)  http://www.blip.tv/  This site has a kind of “indie” feel to it, so expect to be surprised.

4)  http://www.live-online-tv.com/  A portal site featuring just about every genre.

5)  http://beelinetv.com/  Television Channels from Around the World.

6)  http://www.channelflix.com/ A site with channels from Around the World.

7)  http://www.tvforus.com/  Channels from Around the World.

8)  http://www.radiofreeworld.com/  A great site with music & movies from everywhere.

9)  http://www.yourtvonline.net/  Yep, you guessed it I like TV & Movies from everywhere.

10)  http://www.veoh.com/ All the movies, videos & popular TV Shows you can stand.

Once again this Top Ten List of Free Television and Movies is in no way an exhaustive overview of what’s out there, but something for everyone no matter your preference, genre or viewing style.  So, enjoy your favorite shows, movies and videos and I must admit, I barely remember what my television looked like!

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day

It's that time of year again. Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day is today, April 21st and if you love Ben & Jerry's ice cream as much as I do, you might have to travel far to indulge in free. Free Cone Day is Ben & Jerry's way of showing thanks to its customers for over 31 years of support. It's also the time of year that Ben & Jerry's hope that you try a new flavor because it's free today. However, before you take off to your nearest Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Shop, know this first. Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops will open about Noon and the promotion will go on until 8pm today, but before you go make sure that your nearest Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop is participating. Unlike previous years, there are a fair number of Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops that are not participating this year and I have to ask why? Is it the economy or is it a combination of the franchises bottom line that would be affected by the sheer number of people turning out for Free Cone Day and many Scoop Shops, simply can't do it for free? Who knows for sure, but here is the link about Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day and a way for you to see if your closest Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop is honoring Free Cone Day. Either way, you may or may not have to travel a bit to get that Free Cone today, if you truly want it for free!
