Softpedia Editor's Review for ChrisTV Online! PREMIUM Edition
|
Lets you watch LIVE TV Channels and listen ONLINE Radio Stations from the internet
Written by Elena Opris on November 8th, 2011
ChrisTV Online! Premium Edition is a tool that lets you view TV channels and radio stations from across the world. Now you don't need to pay for cable anymore... maybe even think about giving away the TV.
The user interface is very friendly. You select the channel or radio station you want to view on the right, double click, and enjoy!
In addition, you can view channels from Justin.tv and Veetle (and yes, there are also marathons of your favorite TV series, as well as cartoons here). Oh... HD viewing is also possible, if you have the appropriate tool installed (e.g. Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, VLC Player).
The image and sound quality is excellent, but we have, of course, found certain channels that refused to load. Some were supported by a format unrecognizable by ChrisTV, while others required additional applications to be installed (like RealPlayer).
In Settings you can add a new channel, by inserting its name, homepage, description, stream URL, and selecting the stream type.
In Advanced Settings you can change the interface language and skin, but also the display order of the channel list.
ChrisTV Online! Premium Edition requires a considerable amount of memory, even if no channel or station is playing, but that's normal with this type of software.
The application didn't jam or crash, and the only problems we had found were with the mentioned channels and stations that refused to work (well, you can't have them all).
Other than that, enjoy some free TV!
