ChrisTV Online! 4.00

'ChrisTV Online!', as the name suggests, is an Internet TV player. With this player, you can gain access to more than 1000 TV channels and over 600 radio stations, as well as online streams. The video quality is very good for an online TV, although you need a good Internet connection. The channels are available on a wide range, but there are many channels not yet listed. One of the improvements in the last version was the addition of 135 new TV channels, so I think that lack of channels will disappear with the next couple of versions while others will be added.

While testing the program, I noticed that you have 14 days of trial. However, you can test it with no limitations in those 14 days. You can group the channels by country, type, category, language, or station name. The user interface is skinnable, it's easy to resize it, and you can set it 'Always on top'. The controls are very simple and you have only a few buttons like 'Play', 'Stop', 'Mute', 'Fullscreen', and 'Settings'. An interesting feature is that you can access full screen mode by double-clicking on the image.

Pluses: You can watch TV without a TV card. You can record TV shows in WMV format.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: If you like to watch TV online, I recommend you to try this program. I enjoyed testing it.
