Any tips for US residents to legally watch network tv, LIVE over the internet?

We and neighbors (who are low income themselves) do not have powerful enough antennas to get the local networks (too far away).
I chose not to purchase dish. Too rural for cable.
They don't have dishes, either (too expensive).
Some have DSL and internet and phone, though.
Any tips that I can share with these people, and moiself would be appreciated! Thank you!

Try this site:
http://wwitv.com

They have live tv for tons of countries and a lot of US content as well. It might not be perfect, but it is still pretty good!

• hi, thank you. I will recommend it to the neighbors and moiself. http://wwitv.com

true, we don't have cable access, nor do we want to spend, nor can others always afford satellite. Fortunately, some of us have computers and DSL. thank you again!!

I believe that there's no legal way to watch TV through internet, but I suggest that you buy a TV tuner card to watch television on your computer.

You can buy it here..

aficionado, so you are pretty much saying what I posted is illegal? From the research I did, the site I posted as an answer is not illegal.

Also, they do not have access to cable, thus your option is not a viable method for them.

Both of the sites you listed gave the card a rather low rating.....

we used to watch live network tv on the computer through the antenna. but we are over 100 miles from the broadcast site. we are some of the people left totally without tv because of the digital conversion

If the network doesn't stream it over there own page I'd say it's an illegal (best guess). Hulu and a number of other sites have agreements to rebroadcast network shows but I don't know anybody who has a streaming relationship.
