TV channels on QuickTime

[fernandovalente]

Is there anyway to watch TV channels like NBC, E!, CNN and CNBC on QuickTime?

No.

QuickTime is a program that plays media files. It's not a TV or a TV tuner or the such.

If you however want to watch TV on your computer, EyeTV is what you're looking for.

I know, but you can stream video to your computer with it. I want the stream URLs.

Not quite true. QuickTime is the frameworks for time-based data in MacOS/MacOS X. The QuickTime Player is the most famous QuickTime-based application. You are correct that it is not a TV tuner. fernandovalente is correct that the QuickTime Player can view video streams. Undoubtedly, elgato's EyeTV TV tuner software is based on the QuickTime frameworks.

I don't have a TV tuner.


I really need the stream URLs.

What's the problem? The QuickTime Player can handle video streams.

There's no problem. I just don't know what are the stream URLs for NBC, CNBC, E! and CNN.
