Things You Can't Watch on Google TV

Ah, the joys of Google TV. The magic set-top box can bring the Internet to your TV, and also allow you to browse available shows and clips from around the Internet in one clean interface . . . well, that's what it was supposed to do, anyway.

It seems that not all is going well for Google's new TV system, as major cable networks are lining up to block Google TV's access to their sites. ABC, CBS, NBC, SyFy, Hulu, and now FanCast are all blocked for Google TV users, which means the simple interface that searches web, video, and cable content will come up with fewer search results. Want to watch The Office? You're out of luck if you want to use your Google TV to do so from NBC's site or Hulu. But there is a way to avoid this problem altogether. Find out how, after the break.

Website of the Day: Fancast

There are times when I forget to TiVo the latest episode of Heroes or
The Office - hey, it happens to the best of us! Rather than spending hours scanning the web for your favorite shows like the The Hills, head on over to Fancast where you can find tons of full-length TV series, as well as check out the latest movie trailers, clips, photos, news, and reviews. Just a FYI: Shows have mini-ads at the beginning, but it's totally worth it considering you are getting to watch your "missed" shows for free!
