There seems to be an increasing number of TV sites these days such as atdhe.net and others. I was wondering if these were legal sites or what the deal is with them. Thanks.

There are a few popular legal T.V. sites. i.e. Hulu, Fancast. I would imagine there are illegal sites out there, none of which I would trust or ever recommend. Advertising usually is how these legitimate sites make money, so if there is a site you are going to that is free, but doesn't have "big name" advertising, or especially any advertising whatsoever, then I'd be weary. Nothing is actually FREE... ya know?

i believe Sidereel is legit. it doesnt host the videos though. it links to some pretty sketchy websites that i wouldnt trust. It also links to all the good legit ones. Itunes hulu amazon.

A popular one seems to be "justin.tv" as far as i know it is legal.

justin.tv is a lifecasting website ITs interesting but not really "tv".

Best bet is Hulu or many networks have their shows available for a certain amount of time after first broadcast.
