What other sites offer similar TV streams like JTV did?
I have used JTV for marathon watching of so many popular TV shows for the past five years.
I may not really be watching, but when working on your latest start-up or idea it was always good to be watching marathons of my favorite show in the background.
This is also what I used it for, watching Star Trek TNG streams while waiting for software to compile with General Grin and other custom comedy segments the channel operators made between eps. The whole point was socialTV where you could lol about how ridiculous some of the characters were with other fans in chat. The ancient aliens channel was also comedy gold, his hair gets bigger with every season.
You should still pay for the content you consume. This is why these streaming sites get shut down so quickly. Watching a stream is no different than torrenting it or other means of infringing. You're watching a TV show without the rights holders getting any money. If you don't want the rights holders to get any of your money (whether it's because you cannot afford to pay, or do not want to pay), you simply should not watch the show, not find a free way around the system.
Camarades.com is back in business and will remain alive as long as I can support it. It's older than justin.tv by a long shot and I don't have any intention of shutting it down. Acquisitions, it is safe to say, are not in the cards.
Would be interested in hearing more about your project. Couldn't find any contact info for you, my email is in my profile. I do a lot of streaming work, and enjoy talking shop.
Actually, on Twitch you can only stream gaming related content. It does include programming, but only if you are programming a game (or related tool or such).
At one time I had good luck with a streaming app called Bambuser. I switched from Ustream because the latter had issues (at the time) dealing with poor connectivity.
