This isn't a TV! Or is it?
During my days as a college freshman, far away from home, I often was stuck with a lot of free time (Especially on the holidays). It is then I discovered youtube. I found it amazing I could watch all these ti vi shows I just loved back home(where I had Satellite)! Of course, eventually Youtube merged with Google and took down many of these beloved shows. Therefore, I looked elsewhere: Where might I get my tiếp theo fix for X-Files, Smallville, hoặc The Office, hoặc watch Mất tích season 3 after it already ended? I did not have a lot of money to be spending on DVD Season box sets.
The result is a wide thư viện of video sharing sites and the methods to find what I’m looking for. So let’s start at the beginning:
Television Shows
How do I word my search?
If bạn are searching for a Live-action hiển thị (that is, not hoạt hình hoặc anime), this method is suggested:
First, remember these common chia sẻ video websites:
www.youtube.com
www.sidereel.com (A website where people place đường dẫn to episodes from many sources)
www.dailymotion.com (Lots of French subs)
www.divx.com (a lot of Spanish and german subs - high quality videos)
www.veoh.com
www.movie6.net/tv/
link
(Fanpop is also a great place to find videos!)
Now how to word your search. Say bạn are looking for Thị trấn Smallville Season 1 Episode 2 : Metamorphasis. This might seem like a logical way to search. However, there are several different ways the people who đăng tải these video will word the titles and tags.
The other common ways are this:
Thị trấn Smallville 1x02
Thị trấn Smallville S01E02
Thị trấn Smallville 102
Metamorphasis
bạn may think bạn cannot find a particular video, but sometimes bạn can only find it bởi wording it correctly.
**File-Hosting Websites**
Now, some ti vi shows simply are too old hoặc not được ưa chuộng enough to be found on these chia sẻ video sites.
Another method I have found very useful is going to www.google.com and typing in
‘Smallville 1x02 Megaupload’
Adding megaupload brings up several results that include megaupload đường dẫn of this episode. However, bạn will have to download the file instead of watching a stream.
bạn may also try other file-hosting sites such as sendspace hoặc rapidshare instead of megaupload.

Anime-
Finding anime is tricky, because it comes in many formats (Japanese dub hoặc RAW, English subbed and English dub).
Good video-streaming websites to find anime on are:
www.anime6.org
www.veoh.com
www.sidereel.com
www.divx.com
www.youtube.com
Download websites:

There are many others I’m sure but these are the ones that I’ve used.
While anime have ‘seasons’ typically they are labeled bởi the total episode number. Even if an anime is in its một giây season, episode 2, it will often read “<Anime> Episode 28”
Example: Death note episode 2: Showdown
Terminology to tìm kiếm with:
Death note 2
Death note 02
Death note Showdown
02 showdown
*Depending on what type bạn are looking for, also add : RAW, Eng sub, Eng dub. Sometimes this is not necessary as the anime only comes in 1 hoặc 2 types.
*You can also use the megaupload method to find episodes.
Some new sites i've found since nghề viết văn this article:
www.livevideo.com
www.gofish.com
www.surfthechannel.com
www.videostored.com
www.megavideo.com <--This is a great one!
I have found that sometimes it is difficult to find video of phim chiếu rạp hoặc tv shows because the user who uploaded it masked the video name bởi putting gibberish.
My Lời khuyên is to try less obvious tag (Such as Will smith to find the movie "I am Legend", hoặc IAL --the abbreviation of the movie name) and then sort your results bởi LENGTH.
If the full movie is on the website bạn will see it near the beginning. This also works when looking for anime hoặc tv shows--most are around 22-24 phút long. Hour-long tv shows are 41-44 phút long.
