TidalTV: Web video doesn't get much more TV-like
When you first visit the TidalTV page, you'll see an electronic program guide with a schedule of currently playing and upcoming shows. In the corner you'll see a video box. You can click the video to enlarge it, or you can flip channels by scanning through the program guide.
If you don't feel like waiting until 2pm for a show to start, you can just click on it. While TidalTV does have a "live TV" feel, all videos are available on demand. You can also click the on demand tab to browse for programs.

So far, partners include CBS, National Geographic, DIY network, HGTV, The AP, NBC News, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, The WSJ, and TV Guide.

That really sucks for everyone outside the US...this service is like on-demand basic cable for my house.
All of my favorite channels are available (except Discovery).
