Softpedia Editor's Review for SopCast
|
A program that will enable you to watch live video streams using Bittorrent technology
Written by Bogdan Popa on January 20th, 2012
Nowadays, computers tend to replace TV sets, especially since they offer users the liberty to choose the channel they want to watch, regardless of their physical location or the network they are connected to. Those who do not want to feel restricted to using a single application for this purpose, can install SopCast which will allow them to use browsers for viewing television shows.
When installing SopCast, attention is required, as it offers to deploy a toolbar before proceeding to the actual installation.
SopCast is a powerful software solution that makes watching online TV channels a breeze but at the same time, it also offers advanced tools to help broadcast one's very own online stream. Simply put, this application allows users not only to listen to radio or watch TV online, but also to broadcast video and audio content over the Internet.
Although everything might install without any issues, one should keep in mind that opening certain streams depends on the Internet connection, so not all of them have the same video or audio quality.
The Options menu is minimal and the only thing one can configure is actually the language of interface, which can also be selected at the beginning of the installation, along with the default media player.
For optimum performance when broadcasting content over the Internet, users get the chance to choose a different port, just to make sure they are able to bypass firewalls and so on.
Stream content over the Internet is quite an easy task because SopCast works with multiple file formats, such as WMV, ASF, RM and RMVB, so configuring the application is not even necessary.
All things considered, SopCast is definitely one of the tools to be considered when looking for apps to watch TV online and the fact that it uses BitTorrent technology makes things even better, especially since it comes free of charge.
