Internet television has seen huge advances and growing popularity since it was launched, and now more television stations around the world are making use of the trend, combined with the growing popularity of cheap broadband in order to capture viewers.

And with more of us making use of the internet in our everyday lives, we have been given the chance to escape the sofa and watch programmes we've missed without the use of expensive set-top boxes.

With a wide range of subjects available for viewing, from sporting events to political debates, it has never been easier to access up-to-date information and programmes at times that suit us, all from the comfort of our laptops.

And as technology becomes more advanced, both online and offline, internet television continues to develop, with some services offering features such as user interaction whilst viewing programs - without covering up the screen with annoying pop-ups and disrupting the viewing experience

So now, as well as viewing high-quality videos on a full screen, viewers can now not only search for biographies on actors, information on places seen on screen, but also jump to certain parts of scenes by using keywords.

In order to make the most of such services, it is advisable to make sure your connection is up-to-speed through use of a broadband speed test.

As technology develops, more of us are making use of affordable computers and laptops, cheaper broadband and a wide range of online services. And as more of us turn to watching television online, could this perhaps be a turning point for 'couch potatoes'?
