Online television enables viewers to enjoy their favorite TV-shows on their computers, and select channels that are not normally accessible in their countries.
This can be achieved via dedicated websites or desktop applications, which usually come with better streaming quality than the online services.
These applications can provide access to TV programs by streaming the content to a pre-existing media player.
Avid movie watchers will also have the possibility to use some of these dedicated tools to download their favorite shows to the computer.
