Watch Japanese TV Online for FREE!

[Mikawa Ossan]

I recently found something interesting. It's a free programme by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs which will let you watch streaming video of Japanese TV. The picture size is not excellent, and neither is the audio, but it works and it's live. If you're like me and you've tried pretty hard to play by the rules and subscribe by the networks' rules, you already know just how difficult it is to see Japanese content on the internet, so this really is a godsend.

Here's a link to a blog which describes it pretty well, complete with a link to a download page.

Enjoy!

I was about to recommend a program I use, until I realized it was the same thing you linked. It really is a good program and I can attest to the fact that it actually works and is relatively hassle free. Thanks for posting it, Mikawa.

Thanks! I guess I forgot to mention the actual name of the programme! (oops!)

It's called KeyHole TV.

And here's a link to the Yahoo TV listings, which are helpful in telling you what's on TV at any given time.
