RevoluTV

RevoluTV is a software that you can use to watch TV online, without using any external devices.

The user interface of the program consists of a simple window based on Windows Media Player in which you can view TV channels and a channel bar. You can select a channel according to its category (e.g., countries, news, entertainment, lifestyle, music, movies, games, sport, kids, shopping), as well as create a favorites list.

You can adjust the volume of the video, switch to full-screen mode, original size or "Fit the window," as well as play, stop and mute the sound. In the favorites list, you can remove a channel, move it up and down. Also, you can hide the controls and the menu, enable RevoluTV to always be on top, select the interface language and use keyboard shortcuts (that you cannot reconfigure).

The program took up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. As we have expected, there are a lot of channels which do not work in RevoluTV, but those of them that do offer a pretty good image and sound quality.

Moreover, the functions provided by this software are limited. For example, we would have liked to use a search function for the channels, rate them, and so on. Also, there is no kind of help file available. Even if RevoluTV is extremely easy to handle, user documentation would have been welcomed.

The bottom line is that RevoluTV doesn't offer anything new in comparison with other similar products, and lacks some important features. Otherwise, it works very well, and we recommend it to most users.
