Online films/TV?

I am vaguely aware that it is possible to see films and TV (in real time?) online, but have no idea as to how to achieve this. Please, has anybody got any pointers where I can start? Particular thanks if the answer includes links to Russian language films/TV to help Mrs ES over her homesickness and for me to improve my dodgy Russian language ability!

For info, running Mac OS X 3.5 and have Quicktime.

I have a TV card and it has an aerial socket which you plug any normal aerial (e.g. from the roof). Realtime TV...marvellous

Not streaming through the mighty Internet though...which I think is what you're after. I've had streaming radio through media players before but have never come across streaming TV (at least in the UK) but who knows? As for films, I don't think you'll find any Hollywood blockbusters being streamed over the web...seen as it's illegal to even d/l copies of them!

Good luck,

Phew, everyone's been especially quick off the mark this time...!

Here's a website which has a comprehensive list of internet tv stations www.wwitv.com

There don't appear to be any Russian general entertainment channels though...
