ShEV:

Kostya, we are signed up for BestRussianTv.com - several months already. They have been great at first, then lately had some buffering and freezing issues, but just posted an anouncement that all those are fixed. Claimed that the issue had to do with their sattelite reception.

I was also subscribed to BestRussianTV.com (previously known as Torontovka TV) for several months.  Then, I had some technical problems, which I finally resolved to a problem with MTU setting on a router.  BestRussianTV support was very responsive to all my questions, but they could not determine exactly what was the reason of my connectivity problem with their feeds.  But the main reason I suspended the service is that watching TV on computer requires too much work, as opposed to just turning it on.  I also miss TiVo functionality to record and skip commercials.

I was able to stream russian video feeds from BestRussianTV to XBOX 360, but that required that I setup a computer to transcode the video to appropriate format.  I found that TVersity works great in this case.  (http://tversity.com) This software supports many brands of media players (including ony Playstation 3, XBOX 360, DLINK DSM, Nokia Internet Tablet, etc.)  It worked about 50% of the time with BestRussianTV.  I am not sure where the problem was exactly.
