Wixi

As much as I love watching television online, I'll always be at a disadvantage when it comes to acquiring said TV. I live far out enough that many servers are extremely slow and torrents don't work at all. So Wixi is pretty good. Wixi is an online service (somehow free) that acts as a desktop away from your computer. The search function reveals tons of material I couldn't find anywhere else, from TV to music. When you find whatever it is you're looking for, you just add it to your virtual desktop. It's there instantly, and you can watch it as it loads. While that doesn't sound too different from using your average browser, keep in mind that all the music and videos are running on one tab (or window), so nothing slows down. It also works like a subscription upload site, in that you can share what you've found with your friends on the site from any computer instead of just your own. It's actually pretty great.
