Outta my way, ya dumb rah-rah!
While we were singing the praises of our no cable set-up to some friends the other day, my boyfriend admitted that there's one thing he misses: being able to watch the 24 hour news and finance channels. Are there any good ways to get a full stream of, say, CNBC, CNN, Newsworld, and CP24 without a computer being present? The "house" computer is my laptop--I generally take it to the office with me and my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules.

We have an AppleTV, a 360, and Sony Smart TV in the house all the time. Oh, and we're in Canada, but we already use UnoDNS for our unblocking needs.

I took a peek at the absolute lowest end packages from Bell and Rogers, and they start at $40 a month. gently caress Canadian telecom :(

They have an online 24 hour stream (and they are also a million times better than any American news network)

Finance TV live stream

http://www.bloomberg.com/tv/

- edit Oh, you wanted it without a computer? I know the Roku has the Al Jazeera stream in one of their channels.

Are you hiding under our coffee table? We were just talking about Bloomberg and Al Jazeera this morning, I didn't know Al Jazeera had a channel on any of the set top boxes, thanks! (As an aside, my dad's best friend worked on launching the English version of Al Jazeera and is a fellow cable cutter; he too will be thrilled to find this out!)

It's a little bit of missing news as the background noise (I used to always have CP24, the main Toronto news channel, on in the background in the morning and when I got home from work) and my boyfriend being a news junkie who likes to watch all the channels and then yell at the TV.
