KeyHole TV is a great resource for both the bored and the learning. I discovered it sometime last year, but I forgot how. It is a program with which you can watch live TV streaming from Japan!
Of all the live streaming websites and resources I’ve tried (see: a lot), this one is the most consistent (there’s barely any lag or video flubs, aka it actually works as intended) and the most helpful. It’s also very entertaining, if you with only the most rudimentary of Japanese language familiarity have no idea what’s going on are amused even further by that!
When I first heard of it, there was only a PC version, but now there are Mac and Linux versions, enabling me to run KeyHole TV on my laptop finally. With it, you can watch live Japanese TV, or you could use it as video broadcasting software yourself (password-protected, even), or for video conferences. You should definitely give it a try.
keyhole tv for Japanese tv is ok but screen is too small, try the MMS (Windows media player) links – much better quality.

Not a bad idea. KeyholeTV’s screen can be resized, but it does appear to be a much lower quality in comparison. It’s good to have options! Thanks!
