You can watch tv shows, movies, documentaries, all kinds of stuff, for free, streaming online.
I did notice a little "adult" content on a banner here and there, and after the show was over, there was a thing for a "hot babes" video....

but if you can tolerate this stuff, it's a great site, i watched the last episode of Heroes (season 2), weeds, dead like me, and they have everyyyy show, who needs tv?? lol i'm looking forward to catching up on this season's CSI and law and order...
I didn't notice any spam, you don't have to sign up for it either...
so, thought i'd pass it along

enjoy!

TV-LINKS.CO.UK Was SHUT DOWN

Major pirate website shut down

The site allowed users to illegally download shows like 24

One of the world's most-used pirate film websites has been closed after providing links to illegal versions of major Hollywood hits and TV shows.

The first closure of a major UK-based pirate site was also accompanied by raids and an arrest, the anti-piracy group Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) said today.

A 26-year-old man from Cheltenham was arrested on Thursday in connection with offences relating to the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet, Fact said.
The arrest and the closure of the site - www.tv-links.co.uk - came during an operation by officers from Gloucestershire County Council trading standards in conjunction with investigators from Fact and Gloucestershire Police.

Fact claims that tv-links.co.uk was providing links to illegal film content that had been camcorder recorded from cinemas and then uploaded to the internet. The site also provided links to TV shows that were being illegally distributed.

Visitors to the site could get access to major feature films, sometimes within days of their initial cinema release. Recent links took users to illegal versions of the Disney/Pixar animation sensation Ratatouille as well as to most of this summer's blockbusters.

"Sites such as TV Links contribute to and profit from copyright infringement by identifying, posting, organising, and indexing links to infringing content found on the internet that users can then view on demand by visiting these illegal sites," said a spokesman for Fact.

The group's director general Kieron Sharp said TV Links was the first major target in a campaign to crackdown on web piracy.

"The theft and distribution of films harms the livelihoods of those working in the UK film industry and in ancillary industries, as well as damaging the economy," he said.

Roger Marles, from Trading Standards said sites such as TV Links allowed people to break UK copyright law.

"The 'users' are potentially evading licence fees, subscription fees to digital services or the cost of purchase or admittance to cinemas to view the films," he added.
The British Video Association estimates that at least £459m was lost to the video, film and TV industries due to piracy in 2006.

idk who you are mr. mudflap but I do know I went to go look for tv-links and saw it was shut down, however I spent the rest of my time looking for other sites that I could get tv shows and movies. Sure, that was the best one, but that isn't going to stop me from looking for another streaming site.

If you find one, let us know.

I missed Survivor last week and was hoping to watch it. I remembered this thread specifically, and thought I'd see if the link had episodes of Survivor.

Obviously, that was a bad plan, since the site is down. Oh well... maybe I'll find it somewhere.

If you don't mind all of the commercials, CBS has it on their website. Last time I tried to use it (the week Aaron was voted off) it was pretty annoying because of it being in 4 parts with commercials between.

Thanks, AF! I don't know why the most obvious solutions are the ones I never think of.

AlethiaSi · #9 11-07-2007, 04:32 PM

another good link is www.ovguide.com, its a portal to other websites that host the videos. It's not as good as tv-links but def the next best thing.

You could also try veoh.com . That's where I've been going. It's also not as good as TV Links, but it's not bad either. I've almost always have found what I am looking for.
