If you do not want to spend the money for a cable or satellite tv, just go to Vidoo and download it’s tv player.

It let’s you watch some channels like ESPN, Animal Planets, Cartoon Network, Channel V and a few news channel over the net - for free.

I tried it and I’d say the picture quality in it’s default setting is excellent. But if you make it bigger, you’ll be disappointed. Anyway, I won’t be complaining much since it’s free.

At least I can watch some soccer action live while checking my Gmail. That’s what you call productivity!
