Christian TV on the computer
I don't know about you, but I like watching Christian TV. OK, so all the preaching heads can get annoying, but if you study the schedule and pick out some favorites, it can be very uplifting.
OK, so many in the US have all these Christian channels on their cable TV. I don't. It's available via satellite here, but I don't always have access to that. However, I do have access to a fast internet connection, so I can watch it anyway.
Here's how:

Regular vanilla Trinity Broadcasting Channel
http://www.churchchannel.tv/watch/
Church Channel. Mostly preaching heads, but check out Hillsong!
http://www.jc-tv.net/
JCTV. Youth TV, mostly music
It's easy to access the feeds here. But of course, I have to make it complicated...
I downloaded the asx files, but them in a directory on my harddrive. Made a shortcut to the directory from an easy to access place (desktop, start button). Just double click on one of those files, and Windows Media Player opens with the feed.
The reason I did that, was that it annoyed me to have to open Internet Explorer and have a window playing in IE for JCTV. So I circumvented their irritating site coding.
I also found other sites:
http://www.christian.tv/.
Preaching heads.

Gospel Music Channel. Had to go through hoops here to get an asx file. E-mail me if you want it (highest bandwidth).
