@Tomkitten,
"Streaming" just means that they start sending the data to you, and you can start the video before the entire file has been sent.

Youtube videos are streamed, for example.

@Tomkitten,

There are links in the article to some streaming media sources. Also, many television networks have streaming media available on their websites. You can also try places like Hulu.

@Butrflynet,
So I don't need any special software or anything to watch/hear a streamed program?

@Tomkitten,
Usually, the viewer you need is built into your browser.
