Watching cable TV online allows you to view stations that may not be available to you in your cable package. Doing so also lets you watch two different programs at the same time. You may wish to do this if you don't own a DVR and there are two separate live sporting events taking place. There are two different ways to watch cable TV online. You can either download a software program or visit a website that broadcasts cable TV stations in your Web browser.
Instructions
TVU Player
1. Download TVU Player (see Resources). This software program can be used to watch live cable TV online.
2. Open TVU Player.
3. Click "All" at the top of TVU Player. When you do so, a long list of available TV channels will appear on the left side of the player.
