I cannot see streaming video on a TV set in-world. I'm using an iMac G5. I have QT Pro installed. I've checked all my settings and don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a couple of suggestions. If you need more help you can IM me in-world and maybe we can figure out what is wrong with your set-up.

Are you trying to watch video on a TV that you own or have created? Just wondering if maybe the TV (or video texture) is not configured correctly. You might want to try watching some videos somewhere else, somewhere that is definately configured correctly.

Here are a couple of spots (SLurls) that I know have correctly configured video:

Nature Video at the New World Gallery

Lightwave's Anime Videos

Also, Do you own the land where you are trying to watch the video? Using your own video requires that you own the land that you are on. If you are on Group land then the TV needs to be Deeded to that Group.
