Streaming TV Software—TvAnts
Streaming TV has been an very important infromation and entertainment sources in my daily life after I got in New York. The streaming media now I am going to talk about is not a single media or website, but a software.
TvAnts is a free and small software that contains hundreds of streaming TV channels around the world, from Asia to Europe and to America. You can view it as a TV set on your computer. You just need to choose the channel you want and double click it, then it will open a new browser as TV screen and deliver you the live media.
Just like "BitTorrent", TvAnts adapted peer-assited concept to build the media delivering system. All the channels listed on it are provided voluntarily by clients around the world. When you opening a certain, you will not only be a receiver but also a part of providers.
However, there are two major problems of this software. One is based on "BitTorrent" technique that there will be lags for about ten minutes for smooth coming images after opening a new channel. Another problem is that the list of channels changes all the time, because all the channels are provided freely by clients.
If you are interested in this software, download it from its website.
