Watching Indian TV Channels Live on Internet for Free


My kid is not well and could not go to school today. If at all someone watches TV at home, when she is around, that would be her. It is fun initially, but it is also difficult to watch waybuloos and Tombliboos (characters in Cbeebies programs) repeatedly with them. Today being the budget day in India, I wanted to get hold of remote control to watch the budget sessions live. Hard luck !

I thought I shall check-out the India news websites periodically in the day to get budget updates. But then I was wondering - If I have a 512 Kbps bandwidth broadband connection at home, why not watch Live TV on the Internet? I was happy to get live streaming of Times NOW channel on the Net at http://live.indiatimes.com. Almost all the business and news channels - NDTV at http://www.ndtv.com/video/live/channel/ndtv24x7, CNBC TV18 at http://moneycontrol.com/tv/ and Bloomberg TV at http://yourmoneysite.com - have their live presence on the Internet. You might want to check-out links to other Indian channels online at http://watch.squidtv.net/asia/india.html.

With the evolution of Internet, the convergence of traditional and Internet broadcasting is bound to happen. How does it matter whether the feed comes from the Internet or through a traditional set-top-box at home?

  1. wow nice website template and design, i liked it, especially the color scheme, awesome collection of live indian tv channels. i have a question, do you guys offer VODs (videos on demand)? if yes then please let me know, i am very much interested in VODs. As people prefer VODs now a days due to busy routines and the favorite programs they missed watching. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks bye ;)
