How to watch Japanese TV

I've been using this for a while now but hadn't gotten around to posting about it (some of you probably already know about this too).

The quality is by no means perfect but it is watchable at Youtube quality. It isn't recordable but its probably the best means of watching free LIVE STREAMING TV from Japan.

Channels include: TBS, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, and Fuji TV + many others which appear from time to time such as that music video channel called Space Shower tv and animax.


In addition to the tv channels, you are able to listen to most of the major radio stations such as FM-Tokyo.

Another good thing is that this prog. is small and light on memory load and did I mention it's FREE.

Get the program from the official site here: http://www.v2p.jp/video/  (Current version is 3.17 so the interface is significantly cleaner)
