Watch Full Screen, On-Demand TV on Your Web Browser

tubecast.tv (alpha mode), makes a successful attempt at merging traditional (passive viewing) television broadcasting with the active nature of the web.
Essentially, this means that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy whatever is showing next on the channel of your choice. The active nature comes into play with the 'opportunity' to rewind, fast forward, pause or skip the current show.

The site still needs to work on it performance though, most of the channels that Tubecast offers have horrible resolution, especially the music channels (although, there is quite a nice listing there.)
However, there are a few programs, which have high resolution and excellent streaming and are worth watching, such as the BBC Comedy channel, or the Ford Models channel, for example.

I think we are going to see more and more similar projects that allow us to watch television online as if we are in our own living rooms. I will not be surprised, if Youtube takes the same approach soon and changes their layout in a way that will offer us the ability to see a full screen video with all the active features right on top of the video itself. Seems like this step is now necessary for them or they will undoubtedly suffer the consequences, but I seriously doubt they can create such a thing in combination with their low-quality content.

We applaud Tubecast, we also think that browser-based internet television is the way to go. At Pax Stereo Tv (www.paxstereo.tv) we have over 200 channels and growing. There are no downloads, and you get to videos within 2-3 clicks without commercials!
This revolution will be televised.
