Free Cable TV On Your PC - Streamick.com

November 29th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

There seems to be a non-stop supply of online services offering free TV over the internet. The latest offering I’ve discovered is Streamick.com which offers more then 300 real TV channels to choose from including NBC, ABC, ESPN, BBC1 and many more, organized in categories and ranked by the site users.

One of the nice features is that all channels are in English. Basically, if a channel is available in English it will be on Streamick.

The service claims to be totally legal as no paid channels are listed. I’m not too sure about that, but it could be true.

To try out the Streamick.com service click here.

You should change the syle sheet for your Web pages!. All pages are very wide if you use less than 1024×768 resolution. It makes it very difficult to read them!!! Use the same syle sheet as

Otherwise, the web site is fairly interesting.

You had me worried for a second there Geo, as I’ve been tinkering with the layout a bit today. But, I’ve just checked in 800×600 and it looks ok - even in IE!

What res/settings do you have?

Glad you like the site. I think people are starting to discover the site and realise what I’m trying to create

Your Web site has many interesting tips, but it is VERY HARD to read duw to the style sheet used.
1. Thite on black background may look cool, but is hard on your eyes.
2. I use 800×600 resolution, but your styel sheet is still too wide both in Opera and in Firefox. In Opera, I have to select “User style”, and in in Firefox “No style”. Both are available from the View main menu.
Ideally, you should not specify any width - that’s the beuty if HTML. The lines should wrap correctly for any resolution. Moreover, the background color should be very light, say light-gray or pale-yellow or even white. The text should be black for readability.
Check any of the Web sites that discuss Web page color readability, eye strain, eye fatigue.
The users should not have to override your style sheet. Moreover, most browser users know just how to click, not how to customize the browser. When a user is using larger fonts, your web pages cannot be seen completely, since they are truncated on the right.
