Free live TV streaming channels (now with Fox Kids, ABC, ESPN, Spike TV and BBC News Live)

As a companion to the free TV shows on the web thread for those who like live TV here's what I've been able to find:

Note: If you want to watch any of these on your TV you'll need a HDTV with HDMI input and a computer with DVI out along with a $10 DVI -> HDMI cable (or a HDTV with VGA in to jack in your computer via it's VGA out) . If you don't have these you'll need a video card with TV out.

Most channels are crap however there is:

ABC
CBS
CW
Spike TV
Nickelodeon
Sci-Fi Network (the USA one)
Comedy Central
KNBC.com 24 hour news station for the local LA area (great for those car chases)

as well as a Canadian whose streaming his own all movie channel under the name CBNS 2 (he's doing a Star Wars festival today)

You can view it on their website however if you want full screen you'll need to download the app. Note that the HBO that's listed isn't the real HBO - it seems to be some all Asian movie network with eng subs.

Also note that at least all the networks (ABC, CW and CBS) are west coast feeds so you'll need to factor in time zones.

Plus I'm currently researching Sopcast however from what I've seen online so far it doesn't look like there's anything good there.
