Have you ever wanted to watch Japanese TV, but lack the geographical location to watch live Japanese television? I know that's stopped me, but no more. With this application, you can now watch live Japanese TV for free. Ridiculous Japanese commercials, here I come!

You mean we don't have to pay the NHK man?
Didn't we address this in a thread some months back? The NHK fee is completely voluntary.
Oh, wait ... you said it in jest. Haw, haw
Gah! I didn't want to DownSoc the comment! Nooooo!!!
How do I undo a DownSoc?
You can't even watch NHK through that program, or any other major Japanese networks. Downloaded it and found only a Yomiuri News channel and a couple music video channels. I've already uninstalled it.
My and the wife have never paid for NHK. All we do is plug the TV into the cable and we get local channels in our area.
Live TV? Huh? Don't understand this article. I can watch Japanese TV now. On my TV. Here in Japan.
@dasian
It depends on what is being shared at the time. People have things hooked up to their television, and if nobody's watching it, then you won't get it through TVU. I got around 10 channels yesterday afternoon, so I think it just depends on when you're watching.
What if you don't have a TV in Japan? I think this is very useful for those who have internet access in Japan/elsewhere, but don't have a tv. I have yet to download this but I have already used keyhole tv and I know that it is a lot of fun. Thanks for the heads up koichi.
Edit: Just started farting around with the program. Watching the Yomiuri Shinbun Channel. I don't see any channels like NHK or Terebi Tokyo yet, but that might just be temporary. The quality of the feed is pretty nice. A step above keyhole tv in that regard.
Edit2: Apparently those "regular" Japanese TV channels have been taken down. Shucks..
Awww...your second edit makes me not so keen on what I had previously thought was a "JACKPOT" kind of moment. Sad. They jumped on it already? Man.
The "regular" Japanese channels are still there but they can't be accessed by people in Japan. There's some sort of regional block.
