If you mean showing TV network programs on your computer at the same time they are broadcast on TV, you would be looking for ‘shady’ websites.
Day after and later viewing of many programs can be found on the individual TV network websites, on Hulu and Hulu Plus (fee).
If dates (whether current or not) is not an issue, several services offer older series for a fee: Netflix and Amazon.com are the two most used.
You can also purchase individual programs on Amazon.com ($2 or $3 in HD, IIRC) and via iTunes.
Aside from the subscription services themselves (and the few free ones), one of the best ways to stream TV is with a Roku box. You buy it for a one time fee, hook it to the TV and the Internet, and for each subscription website, you enter your unique roku key, and after that that the roku box syncs up like magic with your streaming services.
July 16, 2013: "The broadcast television networks, which failed to persuade a panel of federal appeals judges to shut down the Barry Diller-backed online TV service Aereo Inc., lost a bid to have the case reheard by the full appellate court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in New York found in a 2-1 ruling in April that Aereo doesn’t violate the networks’ copyrights for programs because its transmissions to subscribers aren’t public performances, which would require a license. In a filing today, the appeals court said it won’t review the case."

For paid service I think Netflix is best at $9.00 a month, most say they have nothing but old stuff, maybe so, but I’ve seen a lot of stuff 2010 thru 2013.
Now I worked at least 16hrs a day for over 40yrs, so I didn’t watch much TV, or movies at all, so it is all new to me.
Basically, no. That’s what they’re all afraid of...and it’s a question of “when” not “if” a new business model will emerge.
The content providers for popular TV shows think their best path to market is via cable or broadcast networks. Which is why you won’t be able to find an online source for any current series unless the provider has enabled it. Availability ranges from some episodes to all, with many providers not offering any at all, legally that is. And there are some available as pay-per-view.
There is a lot of free online stuff to watch, but if you want specific programs, here’s the best place I’ve found to get the legal options for online viewing:
I have a question if someone can help me. What do I need to get in order to stream movies or websites from my computer to my flat screen TV? I have a Best Buy down the road but haven’t paid a visit yet. I don’t want some salesmen to take me to the cleaners selling me something I don’t need.
