What is SurfTheChannel? :
SurfTheChannel, one of the largest video search engines on the Web, provides links to literally thousands of free television shows and movies from all over the Web.
How does SurfTheChannel work?:
SurfTheChannel offers you the standard search engine format: simply type in what you're looking for into the search box, and you'll get a list of search results back.
How can I filter my SurfTheChannel results?:
I really like how SurfTheChannel filters their search results. For example, a simple search for "Singin' in the Rain" not only got me the expected classic movie, but also results from Arts, Animation, and Sports. As you can see from this simple example, SurfTheChannel does a lot of the filtering for you. There are a few more ways you can expand or narrow your SurfTheChannel results:
  • By channel
  • By video provider
  • By checking out the Most Popular Links box on the front page
Any of these routes will get you to some pretty interesting content; in addition, SurfTheChannel does have a fairly accurate site search
The SurfTheChannel Community:
SurfTheChannel has groups you can join to talk about your favorite TV shows or movies; simply become a registered SurfTheChannel user (it's free) and you can start contributing to the conversation right away.
Why should I use SurfTheChannel?:
SurfTheChannel offers the searcher a well-designed and easy to use multimedia search engine. You'll be able to find content here that you won't be able to find easily using another media search engine.
