web tv

[iacoposk8]

Hello to all! I would like to watch tv on computer from the web.
what is the best method?
with software (which one?) or the browser?

ps: I would like to see Italian TV

"best method"? Well, that is highly subjective.

I have a dedicated XBMC/Linux machine with lots of extra plugins to support streaming of non-DRM video. That probably is NOT the best method for you. To much effort to get it up and working for most people. You can load XBMC onto Ubuntu to get a feel for it, if you like.

VLC is an option, but less user friendly. Entering URLs isn't fun for anyone.

For an average computer user, using a web browser is the "best method" - since it is easy.

I hope someone else with Italian specific knowledge replies too.

hello! thanks for reply
I'm trying XBMC ... exists on the internet a list of channels that you can see? so I look at what's in Italian.
Alternatively, I would be fine to use vlc, but I do not know how to get the url.
for example, that url should I enter in VLC to see this channel?
