All Internet Television Websites fall under one of two categories:
1. Video Providers - sites that host or carry the actual video file on their server usually in the Flash or DivX format. 2. Link Providers - sites that provide links to the Video Providers. Some Video Providers such as Hulu, have a web "storefront" where you select and view the show from the same website. But many, such as Megavideo, are "private hosting sites" where access to the mainstream videos is only through the Link Providers. Many times you'll be faced with a selection of numerous Video Providers when choosing an episode of your favorite show or a movie. To help guide you through the confusion, we've assembled a list of most frequent Video Providers you'll come across. |

Flash verses DivX: The two most popular video delivery system on the Internet are known as Flash and DivX. Although Flash has become the industry standard, DivX is quickly catching up as it offers a much higher-quality video. On some sites DivX takes longer to load, but we think it's worth the wait. |
