Online TV

Online TV is an internet radio/tv player application aimed at the users who are not only satisfied with the regular free streams, but also demand access to other forms of entertainment – namely curated listings of music videos, live streams, newspaper sources, access to local server multimedia databases, and user-provided online sources.

In addition to a comprehensive suite of audio/video stream search and playback options, Online TV app also has integrated support for recording streamed content, compatibility with cloud storage streaming, ability to augment content listings with community-created lists, and ability to filter the stations depending on the desired country.

onlineTV is one of the best free TV/television show streaming apps on the market, enabling users of all knowledge levels to easily start watching their favorite television channel or radio station with just a few clicks of their mouse.

If you have set up your online TV app to handle playback of your favorite music songs from your local storage, you can even take advantage of the built-in tools to transfer those same songs onto your portable device in seconds.

While the app is well-designed, resource-light and can easily run even on older home or laptop machines, the list of multimedia streams that come together with the app can be somewhat frustrating, with some links to TV and Radio stations not working.

This reliability issue can prove to be too strong to some users, who want quick and immediate access to the content they desire.

In addition to the FREE version of the app, developers of the onlineTV desktop app at the studio “concept/design” also offer a premium version that removes in-app advertising, waiting times, adds more stations and quickens stations switch delays.
