The live tv widget for the Google home page that I wrote about here a couple of weeks ago is no longer working so it is time for an updated link to a new and improved live-tv widget for the Google personalized page. 

Unlike the previously featured widget, today's widget can be customized with channels of your choice.  To add the widget to your home page, get it from Google here.   

The widget looks like an old fashioned tv with 7 buttons, 5 channel buttons, a power button and a settings button.  To customize your channel selection, click on the settings button and select your 5 preset channels from the list which can be filtered by country.  There are lots of great international channels available.  I have my pre-set channels set to CNN, Fox News, C-Span, Sky News and BBC Headlines. 

(Thanks to the commenter in the previous entry for alerting me to the need for an updated live tv widget.)
