Streaming TV! (currently watching Tokyo TV)

From time to time I like to enjoy watching random TV channels from around the world, mostly Japanese though, at this moment of writing this post i'm watching Tokyo TV, dunno what they are saying but they are doing a program about large fish to fry :D.
I love the internet...

What I first used was Keyhole TV, this I would suggest to avoid or use as a last resort as it is really shit in quality. But I shouldn't really complain seeing as its free.

After being a bit disappointed with keyhole I found TVU player which had a better interface and a larger selection of channels, but recently some of the Japanese ones have disappeared, which is a bit annoying as they were the good ones :(
Now there is only a selection of 5 channels or so, bit limited but once again its free so i shouldn't really moan, even though I like to.....all the time.

Now that the best channels have gone I decided to have another look again to see if there was a better service out there and guess what.......there is! What I use now its Livestation.
Out of the free services this is by far the best, it has loads of channels, not just TV but Radio also and the quality is really good and like the other two mentioned this is also free.

So if you fancy watching some foreign TV then I suggest you visit the Livestation link and start browsing!
