Ok, well - not TV as in SABC or DSTV's 50 channels, but over 1700 channels! :)

A quick check and I found a Big bang theory channel, king of queens channel, south park, futurama, the office, and I heard you can also get fox and comedy central!

1) Download the Justin.tv app
2) look around on the actual website to find channels (click on entertainment / etc)
3) find them using your iphone and watch!


Edit: Also, 100's of other people watch LIVE along with you, and also post comments as the show runs :D
Edit 2: Ah - Top Gear! That 70's show! movie channels! :) :)

I always use Justin.tv to watch stuff, and I never knew about this app! Thanks so much Keeper :D

Just put it on my iPod now and it's working 100% on my 384.

Guys lets see if we can find some nice channels. projektvanillascented always streams all the Super 14 games and lots of other sports :D

This is awesome! I want uncapped! :( My R315 topup is not exactly ideal for video streaming...

Never knew about justin.tv, will see if I can abuse it at work a bit...

The answer is right there at the end of your sentence

So it's only for iphone then? Anyone know of anything that works with Symbian? Supersport on my 5800 would be shaweet! Does that work well on iphone? I'd seriously consider changing, just for that...

Damn this is cool. Just watched Bulls/Chiefs kickoff at work. Feeling guilty, so have to stop. This site is awesome! Yet another reason not to use DSTV :D

Do you have any idea of what the bandwidth usage is? I'll stream from laptop using 3G on a 300MB bundle I hardly ever use up- will that last??

Good question Budza.
Tried it on my 384kb/s line with Mweb's uncapped. There is stutter every 20sec or so which is extremely irritating but watchable.

Pls telkom upgrade all the 384kb/s users to anything better than dialup!

lol this isn't ipod/iphone only :p If you have a symbian device, blackberry etc you can use http://qik.com/. They have teamed up with Justin.tv :D

Vegeta most channels work 100% with no stutter on my WebAfrica 384 line.
