Online streaming tv? Are the live or prerecorded stuff shown over and over??

What is all these streaming online tv's? Do they broadcast what you would see on regular t.v.'s? When I came across these, I was thinking.... this is way better than cable or satellite at home, because there tv is free online with bunches of channel. Now I started to think, there's no way that these streaming online tv's are the same as home broadcast tv, because that would put cable and satellite out of business, so... can someone clarify this for me. What is online streaming t.v.? Is this really live t.v. online???? And can someone list some good online tv streaming sites????

I know http://www.realtimetv.net is realtime because at times I have turned on my TV to compare and it was same content, internet adds just a little delay. but it works for me.
Reply:Usually if it is live streaming than it is about 1-5 minutes behind, in broadcasting. If it's just streaming it may be prerecorded. Most of the the free online stuff is prerecorded and don't offer the best channels or they are in another language. If you pay for it, then I believe most of the channels are live, online tv to pc is just catching on for some and I don't believe it will take over cable/satellite just yet because some people still don't have computers. I hope this helps a little
Reply:yes they are prerecorded not live
