In a shocking move, major internet provider AT&T is currently testing limits on downloads for customers who download large amounts of video and music from the network.
The trial which was started on November 1st places a download limit of between 20 and 150 gigabytes of uploads and downloads per month depending on their subscription. Customers who exceed this limit would be charged an additional $1 per gigabyte.
Put in place to discourage heavy users of the service whom are expected to quadruple the download useage during the next three years. Apparently only 5 percent of users use over half of AT&T’s network capacity. The limit is not an issue to standard users as you would need to download 90 movies per month to hit it.
Subscribers who exceed the 250 gigs of data may get slow traffic when the network is busy.
The proposed limits would cut tv and movie downloads and kill off high definition broadcasts. Watching TV station online would affect the download as well.

For everyone in the know about watching TV on PC, you will know that there are several different methods of watching movies and tv shows online but all are somewhat unsatisfactory at this present time.
But along has come a new software product called Graboid. Its a downloadable software Peer to Peer (or P2P as its often called) file sharing application that operates as a dedicated videos only viewer. It allows viewers to find, watch and download thousands of TV shows, movies, anime series, adult movies amongst a massive selection in a very easy to use platform. Full length quality is great in full screen and even high definition (HD) in many cases.
The software is very well designed and runs at maximum download speeds allowing you to download as an example a 2 hour movie in as little as 30 minutes. Forget peer to peer. Graboid Video has far better selection, higher quality, and faster speeds.
If you want to watch free movies and TV shows with a minimum of hassle then i recommend you try out the software. Download the free trial to see it in action.
Verdict:- Graboid gets a top mark due to the ease of use to find whatever movie or TV show you want with the minimum of fuss or hassle. You can watch directly from the source or Download to your hard drive for offline or mobile viewing. Its backed by a great community via full web integration letting you participate in discussions and get support and advice from the community forums and view full details of your favorite movies and tv shows. Its a top quality product and a definite download for all.

UK TV networks the BBC, ITV network and Channel 4 although having their own on demand TV websites are collaborating in a joint venture to provide Broadband TV streaming to viewers TV sets.

The project, provisionally called ‘Kangaroo’ will start trials beginning January 2009. This beta phase of the service will initially allow a limited number of viewers to access the service for testing purposes.
This is a significant step toward acknowledgment that the future of television is via an on demand solution. The broadcasters have realised that they must adapt and look for new ways of hosting content beyond the traditional TV channels that are losing audience in a long term decline. Whereas the opposite is true for catch up tv viewing, with audience figures increasing.
Initially the service will be web based allowing users to stream TV shows or download them straight to PC. The main objective is however to deliver content directly to Television sets.
The new service will build upon the existing experience of the networks online service and media players. Currently the service is being investigated by the Competition Commission who are expected to publish the initial findings of its investigation into Project Kangaroo within the next month.
