TV Chrome Lets You Watch Television While Surfing The Net

If you’re the multitasking type, an avid TV watcher, and a Google Chrome user, you can combine all of those passions into one single browser window. A Google Chrome add-on named TV Chrome makes all of this possible.
Slow day at the office? Google Chrome’s TV Chrome add-on may be just what you were looking for. With TV Chrome, you can watch television inside of a Google Chrome window. Not only that, but the channel selection is decent, and there are channels from several different countries as well.
Simply navigate to your company’s website in a new tab. Boss approaching your desk with an angry look on his face? Simply click out of the Chrome TV tab, and you are back to the company homepage. Here’s how you use the Google Chrome TV plugin.
Open up the Google Chrome web browser and head on over to this page. Although it’s labeled as a Firefox plugin, it will work for Google Chrome as well. Download the Windows Media Firefox Plugin and install it onto your PC. Just like any other program, you will need to click Agree and OK to some licenses, and the wizard will install the program.
After the program gets done installing, close your Google Chrome web browser and reopen. Jump to this page and click the Install button to add the Chrome TV add-on to your browser.
Upon install, you should now have a new TV box in the upper right hand corner of the screen; more specifically, directly to the left of the Control the Current Page button.
Click the TV Chrome icon to get a list of available channels. You will notice that all of the channels are organized by country or by category.
Simply navigate to a channel that you would like to watch and select it. From there, Chrome will open up the Windows Media Player extension, and load the channel. That’s all there is to it. You should now be able to watch television directly from your desktop. No Windows Media Center + TV tuner required.
