In Germany you can watch a lifestream of all the public and some of the private tv stations on their website in HD, more often than not together with some form of interactive chat. They even have a 2 hour time shift function and offer past broadcasts for on demand viewing, subject to some restrictions (After some lobbying by private tv stations the public stations are forced to delete certain content after a some period). You could have watched both the Olympics and the Worldcup at your own convenience that way, for example.
- riffraff 12y agohow is that implemented though? In italy basically all tv stations have online broadcasts, and the national TV (RAI) has both streaming and a huge online archive. You could have watched the olympics and FIFA WorldCup in streaming (if you were in the country) but you'd likely have to use youtube, a custom flash player and silverlight :/
