I will seriously paypal the first person who finds a way to watch the MSNBC news channel live, by either a TV streaming website or TV streaming program, or something else, and by either free or pay service.

I'll give an explanation why if someone wants it, but I really need someone to find this.

Thanks.

If you have cable TV and any internet then buy this:

slingbox tuner

Let's you watch TV from internet. If you have a digital cable box, satellite, etc., get the slingbox AV

No subscription necessary. You might be able to find it cheaper but I wasn't going to do ALL your work for you.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a TV tuner for your computer? If you have cable TV subscription, then that would be perfect. A simple and quality tuner can be purchased for below $50.

From streaming website or web program I took it to mean the OP wants to be able to view it on the road, where a hotel might not offer it or whatever. Or maybe from another country, either way I think he will not have access to the same PC or to cable TV where he is presently.

Maybe he doesn't want to miss his debut on "To Catch a Predator" while he's running from the cops :shocked:

Thanks for looking guys, but it's not what I need.

Why I need is: I switched to Fios TV, and it kicks ass, I get 36 Hd channels (!) compared to 15 on Comcast, plus the SD quality is amazing. But because of some stupid regional contract in my town only, we don't get MSNBC. And guess what, Chris Matthews is the only show my girlfriend watches, so she's pissed. I need a way for her to watch it. We don't have access to it anywhere now so I can't slingbox it. I say streaming versions of the full CNN channel, so I hoped for MSNBC.

Thanks again for looking.

Wow that's horrible, switch back to cable if that's availble or maybe satellite?

LOL no. FiosTV kicks Comcast's ass all over the place. I get 20Mb internet, digital HD cable and phone for $110 a month, because of their triple play thingy. No way I'm switching. Gotta find a way to shut her up.
