Default Can I buy TV channel via internet?

I want to watch TV via my computer/internet instead of buying cable. Are there services that would sell me certain channel such as history, A&E, etc for a price so I don't get stuck with tons of channels and useless local channels that people seems to love so much.

You can't do that but most shows are available online at the network's website. They typically get put up the day after they air.

Check out Hulu as well. I haven't had cable for years, but I still watch quite a few shows on Hulu or other similar sites.

Crackle.com is a decent site I recently found out about. They have both select movies and tv shows for free. You Tube also has a number of free movies available for viewing and they also have clips from TV shows from time to time. There is also another website that I have heard about that offers free cable tv from certain networks. You can read about it in more detail at the following link.

There is no way that you can do that. However, you can always try to search it through search engines and who knows if there is an offer like that.

I'm guessing you're probably already aware of this option, but I'd suggest Netflix streaming as an inexpensive way to get access to hundreds of documentaries and programs from networks such as History Channel and A&E.
