This page will list sites where you can watch TV online from Canada (Legally) Most US Sites block Canadian viewers from watching.
It is by no means complete, and will be updated often. I will also list the shows available.
I will also do up one of these pages for the US Visitors.

I have added new info under the CTV section showing the new commitment to NON silverlight content.
Discovery Channel, and Comedy Network are now a lot easier to access.
I have been getting a decent number of hits on this page. I just added the technorati tags to maybe get some more hits.
I have moved the TVLand stuff to its own post as there is tonnes of stuff being made available. I will continue to update it as I go.
Added 5 new shows to the CBC section
Last time when Coronation St was taken off for a short time as well as now during the olympics, I wanted to watch the episodes online but they will never work for me. Does anyone konw why they will not play for me? My security settings are not too high and I dont have trouble with other online videos.
Hi Louise,
CBC’s site says there is No Coronation St during the Olympics and that new episodes will return August 25th. It also says a new site will be coming then as well… ooo fun

Thank you for the info howardrabb! Those CBC people are never there when I need them!I don’t know why they could not leave the videos there and they still provide the option to “choose a video” to watch. Very unfair!
Louise: I think you may have an issue with your computer. All of the videos seem to play for me. I use Linux on one machine and Windoze on the other, and both work no problem
–malocite
howardrabb- Can I ask you if you are on AOL for internet. I heard from someone that if you use AOL it could think you are in the USA and won’t let you watch some Canadian video. I was wondering if this might be my problem. I checked some of the help section for CBC website. It says I need Real Player which I have and quicktime which I have.
*shudder* no, I am not on AOL
It is possible you are hitting a geoblock if your IP address is coming from the US… what browser are you using? My recommendation would be to try going to that site using firefox 3.0 Click HERE to download it. Firefox is free, open source, much faster than Internet Explorer, and more secure. You can read about Firefox HERE. Oh, I forgot to mention, I am about 90% sure the Coronation St site uses FLASH to play its videos, so I don’t think you should have any problems viewing them… unless your flash is out of date. Download and install firefox, and then try the site, it might work, OR better yet, it might tell you why it’s not working…
Added – So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Mad Men and Fringe to CTV’s listings.
The site has surpassed 20,000 visitors today! Yaay. Thanks to everyone that has made the site so great by visiting.
Today I started placing direct links in the TV Page to the articles that prompted the entry. I’ve added links for Mad Men, Greek and Fringe. More to come!
Hi there, I am trying to watch the border via your link but all I get is the message “this content is currently unavailable”, I am in the UK is there a way around this please the tv channel that was showing it has dropped the final 2 episodes of season 1 and I really liked it, Pete.
Thanks for doing this! Awesome!
