Edit:

Download the last one, its v3.04. Install (No virus, of course >_> this is a legit program.) Make sure when you install you select English under the language options.

This is the GUI you have:
(Im watching something so when you open the program it will look a little different.)

This is cool; I think I'm watching something on the equivalent of the Magic Bullet infomercial.

[Correction]

All I need now is a way to capture the streams, since all the good .jp programming isn't on until past 8pm over there, which is around 4am my time.

[Akiyama]

Wait, so if I'm correct.. we'd be able to watch Japanese RAW anime over this program as well? >.>

[Correction]

You can try it. I don't see why you'd really want to given the quality of the feed and the fact that you'd need to find someone hosting the cable channel at the right time. Most of the good anime (i.e. not the kiddie stuff) is broadcast well after midnight their time so it'd have to be someone capping the stream basically overnight.

gundam 00 saturday morning 2 am pst/5 am est on ???? (which is TBS, capped in Tokyo)

quality is shit and the sound lags behind the video

no, this isnt how i watch gundam 00.

also lol @ keyholetv getting all over the internet, a week ago no one fucking knew about it. network will be flooded with non-japanese people with shittier connections so it aint gonna work as well now. although tbh its so bad it wasnt worth it back then anyway, theres better options especially for anime.

Well.. stuff like Gundam 00 and what not at the moment is what I'm talking about and that's primetime anime Saturday night over there. They are 14 hours ahead of me, so granted.. I'd have to be up early in the morning >.>

Ah, good point. Well it's not like I can't wait some hours for the RAW to come out anyway, but it'd still be nifty to see "live"

Anyway, you shouldn't have expected a great quality, and I don't have the sound lagging problem that you described, its perfectly in sync for me right now. It's still a neat little thing to have I guess, watch Jdrama or some shows. I think the most entertaining thing ive seen so far is that absolutely random 7/11 commercials which all have been wtf quality

Nice Find
It might prove to be a good tool in learning JP in some aspect.

[Correction]

I'm actually very happy to have this, so haters GTFO. There are lots of shows in Japan that are really goddamn entertaining (provided you have a modest understanding of Japanese) but that never make it to America for a myriad of reasons.

for example, get LOTS of airtime in Japan but those shows rarely reach the US, even torrents are hard to come by.

Beats American reality programming every day of the week.

Japanese TV is basically just like American TV. The vast majority of it I can't freaking stand, but if you sift through the junk, there's some real quality shows out there.
