This is more immersion and not so much instruction. There music videos, Spanish speakers talking about various subjects, news and drams videos. Completely in Spanish. There are subtitles in Spanish and English below the video. You have the option of hiding one or both languages and just listening. The video player has the regular pause, back and forward controls and seems to load fairly quick.
One of the cool features of the video player is the built in translator complete with definition. You can input any word and get a translation in either direction or click on a word in the caption area and get the translation while the video is playing. There’s even a “Slow” button do put the video and the conversation in slow motion.
This is real Spanish at real speed. It’s better than just watching Telemundo because you have the translation captions below the video and you can go back, listen again, translate and learn each word.
Lomastv.com at $9.95 a month is only for the serious students, there’s a couple of free videos to check it out and a one week money back trial to really check it out.

1Wow!
I can’t get over just how learning Spanish on the internet has grown! There are so many helpful tools out there, and soo many different ways to do it! Video games, podcasts, online quizzes, videos, and many many more! I do need to practice more at home! Since I came back from Spain I have not paid as much attention to my Spanish learning as I want! It would be a shame to lose all of the vocabulary and grammar that I learned while abroad!

2That’s a good resource… Another one I like is http://www.lingus.tv/video/ Right now it’s free which is nice. It’s peninsular Spanish.

3If you like learning Spanish through music, Learn Spanish by Singing at http://learningbysingingspanish.blogspot.com, is a good source. It’s free.
At our site, http://www.languagesafari.com, (about 20% of the material is free) you can access lists to help you learn Spanish vocabulary using novels (The Hundred Dresses, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, A Cricket in Times Square), the Bible, TV Shows (full episodes of Mission: Impossible, I Love Lucy, The Flintstones). Our niche is for family-friendly resources.

4Wow! You did a great job of explaining how lomástv works but it didn’t register how cool it was until I clicked over to check it out! I am really blown away by the simplicity and functionality of the program. My favorite part is being able to click right on the word and have it translated along with its definition. I agree that learning with REAL Spanish (or any language, for that matter, is very important). On my web site I put together Spanish music videos with their lyrics so that anyone learning Spanish can listen to the song while they read along. Here’s the link http://www.theselva.com/category/song-lyrics-in-spanish/ I don’t translate the songs but I highlight words or phrases that may be difficult for learners to understand and I give a short explanation of those words or phrases at the bottom of the page. So, my site might prove useful for those on a tight budget or just don’t have enough time to dedicate to a paid program.
