Yes I think you can stream it live via internet. Unless you are like me who live in rural America, pay for high speed DSL but only get 25% of what I'm paying for. I sent my provider 25% of my bill. They weren't amused. They own the hammer and can cut me off if not paid in full IF even they won't/can't provide what I'm paying forPbs app won’t help. That’s the national channel. You may be able to stream from their website. Best thing would be to get a digital antenna for local channels to pick up NET
