Those who use TVUPlayer, might be well-informed that it is possible to watch live TV
broadcasts on your PC from the internet through it. As we have alreade mentioned, TVU networks uses P2P technology to broadcast TV programs live over the Web. The service is based on a number of patent-pending technologies, covering high-quality video coding, efficient real-time P2P distribution, and effective digital rights management.
TVUPlayer - P2P live Television Software. It enables viewers to watch live Televison Programs. This new player allows you to potentially watch any television channel in the world on your PC. This already impressive lineup of channels is available from any internet enabled PC in the world and could potentially expand to include many more channels.
Some features: TVUPlayer is a free program that enables us (audience) to watch high quality live TV programs around the globe. TVU networks brings you programs from around the world that you can’t get from your local cable (surely, if you don’t have exclusive and easy access to the local net) and satellite providers. It will feature hard-to-find special-interest TV channels, international sports, lifestyle, news, different kind of funny and home videos and your favorite channels from around the world akin the web (CBS, ESPN, NBA TV, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central, Disney).
IMHO the system operates where one person records live TV and streams it to the internet. This stream is then redistributed by other people who are watching the channel.
Channels like CBS, Hollywood Movies, and Fox had high quality and played well enough in full screen. All channels, however, took a little time to get started and you could find yourself waiting a minute or two for the video to start playing. In many respects it depends on the type of video streaming. Different types of video streaming on the internet are founded on the two main methods of streaming video: streaming servers (true streaming) and HTTP streaming.
Pros:
- Gets channels and videos from the whole world.
- Easy to use and quite an easy way to get several US channels if you are not within it.
- Many channels have high quality and can be viewed full screen.
- It is free for downloading.
- Has an online program guide.
Cons:
- Illegal
- Channels take some time to get started
- It’s in sight there will be more channels
- No pause (for as it’s streaming) on demand video, rewind, recording features.
- No confidence to see up to the end…and a goal won’t be seen…or a winner will be known later through a third party.
