TubeCast.tv - Just Like Watching TV, Except on the Net

TubeCast.tv is trying to achieve a new way of online video viewing.

Their definition is "an attempt at merging traditional passively viewed television broadcasting with the active nature of the web". Somewhat counter intuitively, they're trying to find a way for you to watch videos without having to really exert yourself; the only active part is any rewinding, fastforwarding, pausing or skipping that you may do. To that end, the TubeCast team has built a framework on top of your trad online video services, making your viewing experience not only aesthetically cooler, but a lot more relaxing. For the most part, they get their content from sites like YouTube, and organize into channels; programs are displayed on schedule like normal TV, but as with Tivo, you can skip past all the boring parts.
