RevoluTV

If you're not satisfied with the TV available through your cable or satellite provider--or if you're looking for alternative channels around the world--give the free RevoluTV a try. This free program lets you tune into TV channels around the world for news, entertainment, sports and more. The channels are all broadcast via the Web, so you don't need a TV tuner or any other special hardware.

Using RevoluTV couldn't be simpler. Install it, then choose from any of the many built-in channels from countries ranging from Argentina to France, Germany, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. Then tune in to foreign news, entertainment and sports in the small video viewer. To help keep track of your channels, you can add them to a favorites list in the program so you can easily return to them.

One of the great pleasures of the RevoluTV is the serendipity of discovering strange new things. Want to watch coverage of the U.K.'s parliament? How about the TV channel run by the Chamber of Commerce of Milan? Maybe you'd prefer a Russian sports network, or the Japanese version of the QVC shopping network. There's all that, and more with this entertaining free program.

Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.
