Find out What TV’s Playing Online with Clicker

May 24, 2010 Internet TV No Comments

Clicker online TV guide thumb Find out What TVs Playing Online with ClickerWe are all used to the TV channel guide either online or built into a DVR, but how do you know what’s on if you’ve Cut the Cable and are now getting your TV free over the Internet. That is exactly the problem that Clicker aims to solve.

Clicker is the TV guide for the future, billing itself as the complete guide to Internet television. It aggregates in one place all the content that is available to view over the Internet. This is a very useful service. Free Internet TV is scattered all over the web (e.g you can only watch South Park for free at South Park Studios) and while sites like Hulu aggregate a lot of traditional shows, not all the episodes are available free and some content is published only on the web.

Clicker brings everything together from sources such as the web, Hulu, Apple, Netflix and Amazon. This provides the fullest array of content for your viewing pleasure. You can filter by source, in particular which sources are free and which require some form of payment, either by show (Apple, Amazon) or by subscription (Netflix).

You can search by category (e.g Action & Adventure, Drama etc..) or Network (e.g ABC, TNT etc..) and then get straight to the show you want to watch from the site. If you sign up for a free account then you can subscribe to your favorite shows. When you do this, new episodes will be automatically deposited into your playlist as they become available, in effect providing you with a virtual TiVo.

Clicker Live thumb1 Find out What TVs Playing Online with ClickerA most interesting feature of Clicker is the ability to see what is streaming live right now. This helps with one of the limitations of cutting the cable, that of no access to live TV. The site not only shows you what is live right this moment but what is coming up next.

In summary Clicker is the perfect way to find content to watch online but as useful as Clicker is on the web, it is even more useful when incorporated into a media center solution like Boxee. But that is the subject for another post.
