Watch TV Over The Internet

Martin — Sat, 16 May 2009 09:02:05 +0000

It has been a while since we last covered applications or services to watch TV over the Internet. One of the popular applications at that time was the TVU Player which back then offered channels like ESPN or ABC. This has changed a bit since then and the main reason for many users to use TVU Player are the sport channels like CCTV5 which use to stream live sport events like Champions League, the European Leagues and other cups quite a bit. Even the fact that most of these are Chinese productions with Chinese commentary does not seem to bother most users. It is definitely better than not being able to watch the event at all.

TVU Networks, the maker of TVU Player, have created a web platform as well which can be used to watch the very same channels on the website without having to download and configure their PC TV client. An add-on was required to make the service work in Firefox and the same happened when trying it in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. After that it worked perfectly though.

The interface lists the channels on the left side. Don’t expect to see many popular US channels in the mix with a few exceptions like the Comedy Channel. The majority of programs offered are in Chinese though. The channels can be filtered by language to only display channels in a selected language. That filter is not working correctly. Selecting English from the language selection will also yield different language channels. Not many though but still noticeable.

Other options provided in the interface are a search form to find specific channels faster and a TV guide that is available for some channels. The verdict is that TVU Networks provides free access to a working Internet TV platform that concentrates on non-English TV stations. It does however offer a great way for sport fans to watch their favorite sport events over the Internet.

Watch TV On Computer With RevoluTV

Martin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:02:49 +0000

A few ways of watching tv on a computer are available these days. There are movie streaming websites like Hulu that provide access to tv shows of certain TV networks to users from specific countries. Many TV stations offer streams of their contents on the Internet as well That’s the basic concept of RevoluTV which provides a central interface for free TV stations that stream their shows.

It is more a convenience than something revolutionary because programs and websites that do the same already exist for some time. The biggest advantage of RevoluTV is the no frills no thrills interface that is clean and easily accessible. It makes use of Windows Media Player to stream the TV contents to the computer screen which unfortunately means that the software program will only run on computers with Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Channels are divided into themes like News, Games or Kids which list the available TV streams. A click on a network name will load the channel immediately which works well and without lags. It usually takes a few seconds to buffer the stream before a picture is shown.

Playback quality depends a lot on the user’s Internet connection but also on the type of backbone the TV network is using to stream their contents.

Channels can be added to favorites for faster access. There is however no settings menu of any kind. Basic controls for volume and playback are offered but nothing beyond that. The only way to change settings would probably be to change them in Windows Media Player.

Zattoo Insufficient Bandwidth Message

Martin — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:55:29 +0000

The message Insufficient Bandwidth is popping up regularly when viewing Internet TV with Zattoo lately even when I use my 16 Mbit line exclusively for the Zattoo stream. I’m pretty confident that the insufficient bandwidth message is not caused by my connection which was confirmed by asking my friends to use Zattoo as well. They did tell me that they have received the same message.

Insufficient bandwidth means that there is not enough bandwidth available to transport all the date from the Zattoo server to the client PC. The effect is a distorted pictures from time to time that is showing artifacts and interrupted sounds.

The major problem with this error message is that you cannot change the quality settings currently in Zattoo. It sometimes helps to switch the channel for a few seconds and go back to the channel that did display the insufficient bandwidth message. It happened more than once that the message will not appear again. That’s unfortunately the only fix that I was able to find for this problem.

Zattoo is currently available in many different countries in Europe including Germany, England, France and Switzerland.

Joost Live Test Run Tomorrow

Martin — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:54:56 +0000

I just wanted to remind you that Joost is running their first big Live test run tomorrow with NCAA March Madness. It begins Thursday at 12:20 p.m. EDT / 4:20 p.m. GMT and ends after the last game which is scheduled for 9:55 PM EDT. 16 games will be streamed live on that day and it will be interesting to see how the Joost client will handle that kind of traffic.

They made it clear in their announcement that they expect that some things will go wrong, obviously live is something completely different than the prerecorded shows that they use to stream normally.

I’m not sure about this but I guess you need the latest client that was released yesterday to be able to take part in the live test. I definitely will tune in to see how the image quality will hold up against other services that stream live Internet. Another aspect that is quite interesting is the delay of the image compared to normal television. How many seconds will the stream be behind in the coverage ?

Joost to test live streaming

Martin — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:25:44 +0000

According to New Tee Vee Joost is going to start a public live streaming test today. A new client will be released for that purpose becoming available today as well. The first public live stream will be a video chat with the Joost technical team, a first test so to say to see if everything runs smoothly.

The first real test will be the live streaming of all NCAA basketball championships games starting next Thursday which will be available to users world wide which comes a little bit surprising if you consider how other Internet TV services (like Hulu) tend to ignore viewers from outside the United States.

The other good news is that there will only be in-stream ads which is only fair I guess if you consider it’s free and live. The Joost team is looking forward to this first large scale live test which could bring up related problems that are not foreseeable at the moment. I guess the best thing is to enjoy it while it lasts.

I think it is pretty exciting that Joost is finally starting to deliver live content which was always something that held them back in my opinion. From there the possibilities are endless, providing the software and service work as intended.

Hulu now publically available kind of

Martin — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:54:17 +0000

Hulu has left private beta and is now publically available to US-consumers which is definitely a good thing. Users can just go and visit the official Hulu website and browse the contents and play anything they like in their browser. Hulu does have a good selection of movies and tv episodes from popular media companies like Fox, Universal Pictures, Sony or MGM.

The selection of tv shows is actually pretty good. You get to see Animations like The Simpsons and Family Guy, Crime & Mystery like Bones or Team Knight Rider but also pretty old – but still cool tv shows – like Simon & Simon or Emergency Room. Should be something for everyone, great if you do not know what to do for a certain amount of time.

Users from outside the United States, for example US citizens traveling to Europe or another location, can use the free application Hotspot Shield to view Hulu content even if they are abroad. Check out my article on accessing Hulu – and other services – using Hotspot Shield.

Watch Local TV Online with Any TV

Martin — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:27:29 +0000

The Internet offers several ways to view TV with your computer. Some TV stations offer tv shows on websites, some download clients and media players. Then we have those independent TV clients like Joost, Bablegum and Zattoo plus all those Asian P2P clients that stream TV – most of the time in Chinese – to your computer. And then there is another possibility, local stations. Most of those stations are independent stations that offer their TV program as a stream on their website.

Any TV is a client that pulls a list of available channels from a server and makes them available in the client. You should not expect top TV series or movies but you can find interesting channels none the less. Besides lots of local news stations plus CNN and some global ones you find a wide variety of channels that you can sort after country of origin.

There are a lot of channels from the United States and the listing is divided into several folders. They are sorted by state and by alphabet. Quality depends largely on the tv station or network but can be compared to other clients, it’s definitely better for most stations than Youtube quality for instance.

Any Tv offers Radio Stations and Video Clips as well. I do prefer Shoutcast for the first though and video portals or Miro for the second.

HBO on Broadband soon coming to a computer near you

Martin — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:33:52 +0000

The latest trends in the United States of America seem to be to create TV Channel portals offering streams of tv shows for authorized users. The other trend seems to be to push pay per bandwidth Internet which does not really match that well if you ask me. So, this time it’s HBO with the announcement that a service called HBO on Broadband will go live tomorrow for subscribers living in the Wisconsin area with plans to expand the services later this year.

Users will be able to access HBO on Broadband without charges if they have HBO On Demand and Time Warner’s Road Runner high speed online service in their homes. Shoes can be downloaded and watched on up to five computers running Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 2 32-bit and Macs running Windows. Each movie minute roughly translates to 10 Megabytes of download which means that movies will have a size of 1.2 Gigabytes while tv shows one between 300 and 600 Megabytes.

A movie player developed in house has to be used to watch the movies and tv shows which seems to point at some sort of DRM in action. Shows will eventually expire and automatically be deleted from your computer when that happens.

Available for downloading this month will be select episodes from many of HBO’s original series, including the current (and final) season of “The Wire” and the debut season of “In Treatment,” plus “Rusell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam” and “Real Time with Bill Maher,” as well as past seasons of “The Sopranos,” “Sex and the City,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Entourage,” “Six Feet Under,” “Big Love,” “Deadwood,” “Flight of the Conchords” and more. One HBO original series each month will have all episodes from all its seasons available on the service.

Click for larger image: HBO on Broadband Films offered for download each month will include most of the titles currently airing on HBO, plus many from their extensive library. Among the films available in January are “We Are Marshall,” “Norbit,” “Breach,” “Smokin’ Aces,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Superman Returns,” “The Last King of Scotland” and the documentary “Baghdad Hospital: Inside The Red Zone.”

Individual titles will be available on the service for 4 – 12 weeks, with episodes of HBO original series generally available for longer periods than theatrical films. When a title reaches its “expiration date,” it will automatically be deleted from your computer.

No link to the website is circulating yet. Users who would like to access the service and are not subscribed to HBO / Road Runner will be out of luck though because computers and users have to be registered to be able to access the service. via DVD Dossier.

How to download and view Bittorrent Videos in Miro

Martin — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:20:42 +0000

I had a second look at Miro some days ago. Miro is a Internet TV client, some use the term Videocast player, but that’s not really what it is all about. Miro can play Video feeds of course but it can do more. It plays videos from video sites like Youtube and Dailymotion and downloads those videos to your hard drive so that you can watch those videos anytime you want without connecting to the Internet.

Miro can also download and play Bittorrent videos. The process is pretty easy and straightforward. All you need is a url that points to a torrent file that contains one or more videos. Click on file > download in Miro to download the files automatically with Miro which does all the configuration meaning that you do not have to fiddle with Bittorrent settings at all.

This is great for the majority of people who simply do not want to configure thousand options to be able to download torrents. You can configure a handful of options though in file > options by clicking on the downloads tab. You may limit the upload or download bandwidth, select the ports that should be used for Bittorrent transfers, automatically forward ports and select if you want to reject unencrypted connections.

Once a video has been downloaded it is available in your library where you can watch it or move it into one of your channels. Downloads can be paused or canceled at anytime and users have the option to stop seeding the video when it finished downloading.

TVU Player Internet TV revisited

Martin — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:20:01 +0000

It has been a long time ago since I last reviewed the TVU Player, a popular software that streams TV to your computer, most call it Internet TV. I decided to download the latest version and see what has changed since my last review and I can promise you that some of the changes are really exciting.

The new TVU Player interface hosts more information than the previous one. A remarkable change is the language and topics bar at the top which filters channels by their language or topic. If you only want to view English channels for instance you click the English button and only those are displayed.

The same principle works for topics such as Sports or News. The right pane hosts messages, reviews and the tv guide which is probably the most useful of the three. You can select your timezone and get information about upcoming shows on the tv station that you are watching.

On the downside advertisements have been added during load times and in the sidebar that holds the tv guide. The most important aspect of a Internet TV client is the availability of tv shows and stations. TVU Player is still primarily a client for Sports fans. You can still watch most major sports events including soccer, football and basketball live.

I was not able to find many other tv stations wort watching, most of them are Chinese and I do not speak Chinese. So, my conclusion would be that it is still an excellent tv client if you are a sports fan.

Grab your Hulu Beta invites

Martin — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 23:11:27 +0000

Hulu is doing a huge promotion currently offering several websites 2500 beta invites each and lots are still available. I found three website promotions with roughly 4000 invites left for Hulu, make sure you head right out and sign up using any of the following links:

Mashable have roughly 1100 left, Download Squad are still good with 2300 left for the taking and Techcrunch has another 1100 left. There are probably more sites out there that received those 2500 invites and as you can from the links the url is always http://www.hulu.com/beta/ followed by the site name without spaces.

I just visited Technorati and discovered several other blogs that received invites as well. Those are Webware with 2200 left, Read Write Web with 1300 left and Gigaom with 500 left.

Everyone can signup but only users from the United States can view Hulu without problems.

Joost 1.0 Beta is out

Martin — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 09:13:06 +0000

Joost has released yet another version of their acclaimed Internet TV client that streams prerecorded TV shows to the users computer. The new version has one feature in particular that was well overdue. Joost can now be updated from within the client. Users do not have to download and install new versions from the Joost website anymore.

Several changes have been introduced to the user interface as well which give Joost a cleaner look. One feature should be mentioned as well. It is now possible to create links to Joost shows and share them with other users.

I did encounter a new bug however. Joost is not showing up when I start the application and what is much worth I’m not able to kill the process tvprunner.exe using the task manager. It consumes 99% of cpu resources and the only thing that is killing it is to restart the computer. Not really practicable.

Deleting the Joost directory in Application Data did not help either which means that my computer running Windows XP is not able to start Joost at the moment.

The shows offered at Joost are still considered B-content by many including me. Unless they really add some high quality content they are doomed to fail even with all the news coverage that they get.

Let me know if you want a Joost invitation and I send it out using Joost on my Windows Vista notebook.

Zattoo available in Germany

Martin — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 06:45:36 +0000

Germans rejoice. The Internet TV client Zattoo can now be downloaded by German users to watch 21 TV stations using their computer. There are no information about payment at this moment and it is possible to download and run the client without reading anything about costs and payment. So, you can download and run it for free at the moment.

The following channels are currently available: Comedy Central, Das Vierte, DMAX, DSF, Entertainment Channel, Giga, MTV, Nick, Tier TV, TV Gusto, Viva, Al Jazeera English, Canal 24, CNN International, France 24 English, Luxe, SF, Sumo, Telezüri, The Poker Channel and TVE. A few channels are not available although they have been available during the private beta. Channels like ARD, ZDF or BBC would be a welcome addition but there are currently no information if they will be made available at a later date.

The image quality is slightly better than that of those Asian Internet TV Clients such as TVUPlayer or TVAnts. It is not perfect in any aspect and artifacts are clearly visible when doubling the size of the output window. The Fullscreen mode is available as well and looking fine enough. It is for instance possible to read the writings on screen.

I would say that the image quality is fine if you consider that Zattoo is streaming live content from those tv stations unlike Joost or Bablegum who only stream prerecorded shows.

The Zattoo client is available for Windows, Mac and Linux which is also not that usual. I’m not sure if users from other countries can also download and use Zattoo at the moment. The Swiss can do it I think but everyone else ? Let me know please.

Taking another look at Joost

Martin — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 19:14:09 +0000

It has been a few months since I used Joost for the last time and I thought it would be a good time to take another look at Joost considering the announcement that they would go live at the end of the year with almost one million beta testers. A post at the Cybernet Blog also called my attention where Ashley asked if someone was actually still using Joost.

I had to admit that I was one of the beta testers that did not use Joost at all anymore and wanted to take a look to see what has changed in the meantime. I can sum it up pretty quickly though and was a little bit disappointed that my old criticism was still holding true.

Joost added some more channels to the system but still does not offer any premium content channels. The channels that are offered, lets take Gong TV, Guinness World Records or Watch Mojo are programs that appeal to only a handful of users at best. You find better entertainment at sites like Youtube for instance.

Joost offers some niche channels that might appeal to a wider audience such as the World Poker Tour channel with old poker tournament videos or the NHL 2007 playoff channel. Most channels however are really disappointing.

I can’t say that the image quality has improved in the few months that passed by, it still looks not that nicely fullscreen. Better than Youtube videos fullscreen but no comparison to real TV or HD content on the Internet.

I still have hopes that they will deliver better content at the time that they are going public with their software – make a big announcement perhaps that raises interest in the service. I promise that I will take another look in a few months or when they make a new announcement / release a new version.

Joost invites are still available, if you want some let me know.

JLC’s Internet TV

Martin — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 07:06:20 +0000

There are currently two methods to provide Internet TV to the Internet community. The first is to offer channels and shows from one country through (mostly) Asian Internet tv clients such as TVU Player or Sopcast which has the advantage that you get to see live footage of sports events for instance.

The other way is to watch channels that are offered as streams for free by using programs such as JLC’s Internet. While the first method is probably not that legal the second is perfectly legal but offers content that is not really mainstream. JLC’s Internet TV has a size of only 138K. Installation takes only a second and the channel list has to be updated from a central server at the first start.

It is quickly populated with more than 1400 channels ranging from regional channels such as Barcelona TV to sport channels such as Backyard Wrestling. Channels are divided into categories such as local, government or sports and all have information about ratings and bitrates while most also have a short description about the content that can be expected.

JLC’s Internet TV has only two requirements. The first one is that you do need the Windows Media Player and Real Player to be able to play all of the channels. Most channels require the Media Player which should be installed on your system to be able to watch them.

The second is a Internet connection that is capable of receiving the data from the servers. This is of course bitrate dependent, I would suggest you simply try it out and see for yourself if the playback is without problems.

I think that these channels offer a great opportunity for many users. This is great if you are interested in a specific topic or want to improve a language for instance. What’s a better way to improve it than to listen to a regional tv station ?

Champions League and UEFA Cup on the Internet

Martin — Wed, 02 May 2007 11:38:07 +0000

Maybe you are one of the unfortunate who is not near a TV when AC Milan battles it out with Manchester United today or the matches Werder Bremen versus Espanyol Barcelona and Sevilla against Osasuna in the UEFA Cup. Even if your team did not make it this far you probably would like to watch these exciting matches. There is a way to watch Champions League and UEFA Cup live on the Internet by using Internet TV clients that stream the matches right to your computer.

Best of all, you can watch the Champions League and UEFA Cup matches for free. All you need is to download a software that will be used as a client to receive the stream and display it on your computer. There are several possibilities to watch the Champions League match between AC Milan and Manchester United and I try to list them all in the next paragraph. I’m only listing the channels for the Sopcast application, this should be enough for everyone to enjoy the Champions League and UEFA matches.

2.5.2007 – 20:45 CET – Milan vs. Manchester: ESPN Asia, Sports Channel 3, Makaiko Sports and Gdtv-sports
3.5.2007 – 20:45 CET – Sevilla vs. Osasuna: Gdtv-sports, Shanghai GSports
3.5.2007 – 20:45 CET – Werder Bremen vs. Espanyol: Shanghai East TV

IPTV Guide

Martin — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 17:52:22 +0000

IPTV guides are rare on the Internet. You can access dozens of Internet TV guides which recommend services like Joost, Bablegum or those Asian P2P Internet TV clients such as Sopcast or TVUPlayer. The difference between IPTV and Internet TV is that IPTV is normally supplied by a broadband operator using a closed network structure. The most popular IPTV service that got worldwide coverage last year was ABC’s IPTV service that streamed popular TV shows such as Lost or Alias to United States citizens.

The service used an IP check to determine whether the show could be streamed to a client. You can generally divide the services into three different types. The first is a free service for users that have a certain IP range who can view the shows on a website. The second is a subscription based service where users from selected countries can view shows and events on a website and the third is a free for all approach where everyone in the whole world is allowed to watch the shows.

The following IPTV guide is mainly useful for US citizens who currently reside in the United States. The website Daily IPTV compiled a list of “100 of the best TV channels the Internet has to offer”. The channels are divided into categories such as Sports, Movies, Television Networks and Comedy.

Especially the Sports category has some advanced looking services that offer paid access to many major sport events and leagues including NHL, MLB, Golf and Tennis. Most can only be subscribed to by US citizens but some are free for all.

Say Goodbye to Joost and Bablegum, here comes Zattoo

Martin — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 08:31:54 +0000

My participation in both the Joost and Bablegum beta phase has taught me several things about those social TV over Internet clients: They do add interactivity to the TV experience. Users can chat about a TV show they are viewing at that moment or rate shows for instance. Both TV clients have one big disadvantage though that weighs much more than the new interactivity. Joost and Bablegum stream pre-recorded tv shows only, at least in this stage. There is absolutely no live content and the content that is currently offered is considered by many as B-Movie content.

If you are looking for high rated TV shows like Lost, 24 or Prison Break you’ve come to the wrong place. I was fortunate enough to get a temporary invite for Zattoo which is live TV on your computer. This is a different and probably the better working method for now to stream TV content over the Internet. Zattoo is a European company which already has more than 300000 subscribers to their service and will soon become available in many European countries including Germany, Great Britain and France.

I was able to test an internation version of Zattoo which was able to stream all tv programs currently available. Those are the same tv stations that can be seen in Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Switzerland using a normal TV. Some of the stations that are currently available include: BBC Prime and World, Canale 5, France 2-5, ARD and ZDF and Rai Une to Tre.

Image quality of the shows is excellent, it takes a few seconds until all artifacts disappear but from that moment on it looks great. It is possible to watch the shows in fullscreen with a slightly better image quality than Joost or Bablegum offer at this moment.

Zattoo is currently preparing launches in major European countries and if they will be successful they intend to expand to the American market as well.

I personally think that Zattoo is far more complete at this stage than Joost and Bablegum are. You can actually see live TV which includes for instance sports events like Champions League, the Olympics and Formula 1. It is also a great assistance in learning new languages. What could be better to learn French than to listen to French television ?

Image quality is far superior to other known p2p Internet clients such as TVU Player. Watchout Joost, Bablegum – here comes Zattoo.

Joost 0.9 is out

Martin — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 05:32:34 +0000

A new version of the Internet TV application Joost has been released yesterday. The first thing that struck me was that I had to uninstall Joost 0.85 before I could install the new Joost version. If that was not bad enough I had to create a new account because Joost changed to a new user system. Signup was hassle free though. There have not been many changes to the system as far as I can tell, one new feature seems to be the so called channel catalog which displays all the channels that can be added to view in Joost.

The default selection does not contain all channels that are available and I was able to add a Poker channel for instance using the Channel Catalog. I would estimate that only a third of all available channels are added by default, everything else has to be added using the Joost Channel Catalog. You can add some great shows like Poker TV, a Trance channel and some pretty obscure ones like the recipe channel or a hobby channel.

It seems that Joost is slowly adding more channels to the tv program to be ready when they go live. It would really hurt their reputation if they would not offer enough “good” channels for their viewers. I’m however missing a poker channel from the last release which has been replaced with the new sponsored poker channel. Where is the World Series of Poker Coverage ?

Did I mention that I got five new invites for Joost ? If you like one drop a comment and let me know why you deserve one. I pick five random dudes at the end of the week who get the invite. Make sure you use a valid email to write the comment. It would also be nice if you would share your invites that you get with other users here in the comments.

Update: All of my five invitations have been given to users who replied in this thread: They are Andrew, TJ, Andre, Runge and Blur3d. Everyone else could get an invite if the newly invited get invites as well and share them with the rest.

Guide to watch Champions League, UEFA Cup and Leagues live

Martin — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 07:24:07 +0000

The tv companies in your country decided that it is not worth to show all the games on free tv ? I always have the feeling that my time gets punished the most by this decision because i rarely have the opportunity to watch live games on tv. One great way of seeing the football games with no additional costs at all is to rely on a tv streaming application that uses p2p data transfer methods to stream the content.

One Tip a Day posted a nice guide on how to watch Champions League, the UEFA cup, Premiere League and many other European soccer leagues using a free program called SopCast. The only drawback of such an application is of course that they rarely have the capacities to stream all games simultaneously. Fortunately for us SopCast streams different channels that show different games. Taking the Champions League games of yesterday as an example it was possible to watch three of the four games in SopCast.

Here is a quick rundown of the guide to watch Champions League at One Tip a Day.

Download the free Sopcast (Broadband Connection required)
Install Sopcast
Configure it. Select login as anonymous and always login on this computer
Finding the sports channels. The author suggests to use the website football 4 less which posts weekly schedules of all Champions League, UEFA Cup and national leagues on their website.
That is it. Enjoy the games.
