Add-ons are small, nifty pieces of code that can extend the functionality of a standalone program. TunerFree MCE is such a utility, designed for Windows Media Center suite and its purpose is to provide a more effective way to view Internet TV programs on the computer.

For users that have the media center application from Microsoft installed on the system and a UK IP, TunerFree MCE can offer a simple way to access programs from UK’s television providers like BBC, ITV or Channel 4.

It integrates seamlessly in the media center and navigation does not differ from main program.

Apart from enabling viewing of content streamed from the aforementioned sources TunerFree MCE can funnel in additional TV channels. This can be done by activating the plug-ins it brings to the table.

The utility is capable of showing content from TED events, connect to the live streaming from NASA and the ISS (International Space Station) or check the programs from Sky News and EuroSport News.

Moreover, it supports viewing channels from different sources that do not impose any restrictions but would otherwise require separate access.
