Here in California there's a Japanese station...
I love it, and it even has subtitles.
But I should try this, too.

ok eew, Livestation is very slow and choppy, but if it worked nicely the quality of picture and sound would be impressive.
i'm picky with appearance of an application too, but when the thing don't work, looks is useless.

installed TVU this time, not many chanels, but at least it streams.. kinda..

i miss Keyhole.

Is Livestation for free too? it says trial software in the install agreement.
i'm not sure which to download now.. i like channels like "terebi tokyo" and "fuji terebi"

currently (22 and 23 Jan 2009) Keyhole's server is down for updating,
i really miss it, and willing to try one of these.

This sounds pretty cool! I saw you updated on the 12th that you found a better program, but I didn't see a link to or name for the program. I would be very interested to know!

"The only con I can say so far is the player window is quite small..."

you can make the player window bigger by double clicking on it to open it in a new window and then just drag the corner to make it bigger

I've tried to use TVU, but it didn't work for me, so I've stuck to KeyHole for the time being.

It seems that the Japanese channels have all been removed,the Live ones anyway,and can no longer be viewed by anyone.The broadcasters apologized and appeared to give an explanation of why they removed it but due to my weak grasp of Chinese,can't translate to everyone here yet.

Interesting I was actually looking for a App a few days ago to watch TV Tokyo or any Japanese show really. Well I couldn't find one till this guy referred me to this site, and the download link for KeyHoleTV

Well here is the main site, but I will post the actually download as well. The only con I can say so far is the player window is quite small, and it can be laggy at times as well.

I used this program sometime ago to watch Lost, I can't believe I didn't realize I could watch Japanese TV with it. lol

You don't need to download the application to watch it!
I'm watching it on firefox via a plugin. Maybe the same will work on Macs?
(Just go to the Watch TV section)
