    ABC Streaming

    This launched today, pretty snazzy and a step in the right direction, the shows are on the day after they air, you cant download them just stream them and they have ads in them, also there not full screen.
    I'll stick with torrents for the moment but still good if you dont want to bother to download.
    They only allow yanks to view them, but if you connect with a U.S proxy it works, I used this one 192.104.67.250 with port 8080 and it worked fine.



    What do you think?

    What's the point when you can get them straight away as a torrent? Full screen is always nice to have as well esp on a pc...

    as far as i know you have to be resident in the states to get it on iTunes due to copyright laws.

    Pretty decent, but the lack of full screen (not to mention 'archiving') means the 'alternative' is still the better option. Incidentally, you only need the proxy for the initial launch screen - after that you can turn the proxy off and use your regular IP for the actual viewing. Think these appear quicker than the alternatives too (by a few hours), but it's as easy to wait for a download.
