In2TV was a website offering ad-supported streaming video of classic TV shows in the USA only [1].
The main appeal of the service was that it made available numerous old shows which were rarely, if ever, aired on broadcast television. The downsides of the service were that the selection of shows were largely limited to those owned by Warner Bros, and some of the shows did not have every episode available to watch. Another downside was that the bandwidth was limited. A show would go to commercial break periodically, however, it is not always able to return. Many complaints to AOL Video and In2TV were that, after spending time watching a program, they were unable to finish the program, due to the commercial interruption.
In2TV was announced in November 2005 as a collaboration of AOL and Warner Bros. Television. The service launched in March 2006 and was later integrated with AOL Video in December 2006.
When In2TV first launched the shows were categorized into channels. These included LOL (Comedy), Drama Rama (Drama), What a Rush (Action), Vintage TV (Classic), Heroes Horror (Sci-Fi/Horror), Toon Topia TV (Cartoons) and Pilot Theater (first episodes).
In2TV also included bonus channels featuring original content based on the TV shows featured on the service. These channels included:
After the move to AOL video in December 2006, the channels were dropped and the shows were put into more generic categories such as Animation, Comedy, Drama, Reality, Sci-Fi, Secret Agent, Urban and en Espanol.
