My new favorite Dashboard widget is now Widget Television VF1. Widget Television VF1 by Skobos Designs, allows you to watch DV channels through any broadband connection. Currently there are 200 channels available — everything from movies, news and music videos to educational programming. The future of television is here. Experience some IPTV and try the widget to make it easy.
I watched a documentary on Muhammad Ali, the three Stooges, several movies, several music shows, ABC news, and some NASA TV all while working on my PowerBook. I did this by downloading and installing the Widget Television VF1 from the Apple Dashboard widget site and if you want to use the Widget Television VF1 on your desktop instead of only in the Dashboard widget layer just follow my OS X Tip #50: Use Dashboard Widgets of Your Desktop.
Using Widget Television VF3 is easy. After you install the widget which is a pretty automatic process. Just open up the “menu” tab on the right side of the screen by clicking on it and click on a channel. The Widget Television VF3 plays feeds available on the Internet in Real, QuickTime, and Media Player.
Some of the channels available right now are ABC News Now, Classic Television, Comedy Classics, CSPAN Government, HSN Shopping, Family Channel, Independent TV, JukeBox Television, QVC Television, NASA Television, Sci-Fi Classics TV, Kulaks Woodshed, Music Plus TV, and many others.

Bookmarking the feeds is really not the point. Having a nice widget that simplifies finding and watching these feeds in multiple formats in one convienent dashboard widget is the point. As it may not be obvious to some that these feeds are bookmarked at several sites, I thank you for the tip. But merely bookmarking them in a single player is not really the same experience as using the widget for many.
Nice little widget from the past. How do I miss those good old days.
Me Too!
