Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 24, 2015With the click of a mouse, this program turns a broadband-connected computer into a television, streaming hundreds of channels from around the world to the desktop. It lacks most of the big U.S. networks and pay TV channels such as HBO and Showtime, but offers a wide variety of local news, sports, and education programming. International viewers have programming options ranging from Germany to Hong Kong. The interface offers three screens: one large and two small. Double-clicking any of these brings it to full-screen. In the age of YouTube, there may be more variety elsewhere on the Net, but this application offers a fast way to bring a large range of television programming to the desktop without a TV card.
