CraftyTV is a website which allows you to watch TV online, and is therefore Internet Video on Demand which is a type of Internet Protocol Television, or IPTV for short.
You can choose between hundreds of shows, including The Simpsons, various Star Trek series, CSI, CSI:NY, CSI Miami, South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, up-to-date Lost and Friends. This is extremely useful as it streams NSVs, unlike torrents where you have to download. In total, there are 4,400 episodes.
As you may have guessed, the site isn’t free. I had an account when it was, but due to the strain on servers all free accounts lost the ability to view videos (you can still view the available shows and talk in the shoutbox). By no means is subscription pricey, only £6 per month or £38 per year. When I remembered about this site, I bought a subscription and now I can watch (nearly) skipless videos.
The site claims to be legal, operating through a loophole in the DMCA.
The site uses a bit of Ajax, but not a lot. The shoutbox is Ajax, as is the remote.
Videos are at anything from 110kpbs to 300kbps; so it’ll run fine on a 512kbps connection.
As you may have noticed, I’m not posting as much as I should - and this site is to blame. 
It is worth reading this which allows you to watch CraftyTV in VLC.
Technically it isn’t IPTV at all, it’s just streaming media. For an NSV streaming-media service that’s offering legitimate IPTV services (i.e. 100,000 channels from 200 countries, with plabck on most mobile devices and PSPs) then check out http://www.streamwired.com
Good point, though IMO IPTV should simply means TV through internet protocol like VoIP means voice over internet protocol.
I really perfer http://www.streamwired.com to crafty. Way more shows. And slighty cheaper. Internet TV is always been a breeze with StreamWired
[...] Following my favourite Internet TV service, CraftyTV, nearly getting completely shut down by the MPAA, I turned to their main competitor: StreamWired. [...]
