    Hey people, I am thinking of starting a site that will show videos and live television. What are the most important things to look at or to ask my designer to include???

    Well, the most important thing will be knowing copyright laws unless you are making them yourself...

    Other than that, the sky is the limit. Usually some type of rating system is seen on sites like this as well as the ability to include comments.
    My advice though would be to look at what is out there and get some inspiration from them but make yours better.
    Here is a list, in no particular order, of streaming tv and video sites.

    Joost
    Clark and Michael
    Funny or Die
    Video Jug
    USA Network
    Channel Chooser

    I am wondering how you are going to handle the cost of the bandwidth you will need for such a site...

    Just curious...

    You're movies are getting removed from those sites though, :p the fact that youve also got a "world news" category that makes me lol. :D
