But you can usually find just few episodes of a few programs. Mashable has put together a list of 33 services that provide online access to TV programs in one way or another. Some are 100% legal, like Joost and Babelgum. Others are a bit shadiers, like TV Links, which doesn't host any copyright-infringing video on its servers, but provides links to sites where you can (probably illegally) stream video.
Thing is, TV still wins. You've got one box that you turn on, and you have access to all the programs you can eat. Get yourself a personal video recorder and you can tape shows that air at inconvenient times to watch later. Sure, you might not get BBC America on your cable plan, or you might not even have cable. But not a single one of these services is as easy to navigate as a TV set with your remote control.
