Online TV Network Review    By Tom Armstrong

Online TV Network is in a class of it's own. The software has powerful organizing and bookmarking tools built in and offers much more than other programs of it's kind. The bar has been raised.

What does this software do? Online TV Network is a downloadable bit of software that lets you watch TV stations on your desktop or laptop computer. It doesn't require any hardware other than what's already on your computer. After installing and running it, you get a list of national and international TV stations you can watch as well as radio stations. Double-clicking a TV station brings it up in a media player with full audio and video.
Buying notes The sales page made the product look really exciting and, for once, the product actually lived up to the hype. I was pleasantly surprised at the price tag, weighing in at a comparatively low $23 for a year's access. As you'll see in a moment, this tool does a lot more than another tool I've bought that cost me almost $50.

Online TV Network can be bought direct from their website. A few credit card details later and I was downloading Online TV Network with the usual excitement I get at this stage. There was no waiting for my download and I was soon installing the software. All straight forward stuff.
First impressions If you've read my other reviews on the different PC TV software available, you'll know that it's been a mixed journey with a lot of junk programs laying strewn behind me. I've been really disappointed with the standard of some of the software I've tested out and I'm pretty critical. But when I launched Online TV Network for the first time, my initial thought was "wow!"

The first thing you take in is the really slick interface. You get a glossy metallic panel that resembles an expensive gadget hi-fi. The window is broken down into a large video player with numerous smaller menus, controls and buttons around it.

This is impressive because the other software I've tried is just so boring to look at and not a lot of fun to use. After all, we want to be entertained.

You can browse the channels in the usual way thanks to a long list of countries. But you can also browse by Genres such as 'Movies' or 'Sport' - as well as a lot of other categories. Online TV Network has a really coherent feel to it that the other tools lack. It feels like a real entertainment product that's been tested and improved again and again.
What I liked Free updates and no monthly fees

Once you've joined this website and downloaded the software, there's nothing else to pay. Whether you join for a year, or get the lifetime access, you'll get free updates to the channels and the software. This is essential because the stations online are always changing and it's important to join a site where you'll always have the latest ones.

Add favorites & manage channels

At last - a tool that has built in way to manage stations. You can find the kinds of channels you're interested in really quickly. The other thing that's really impressive is the 'Add to favourites' button which not lets you easily add a permanent bookmark in any channels you want to come back to. You can also create and manage bookmark folders. Excellent!

Lots of important channel information

When you click on a station and hover the mouse over it's name, you'll get a quick overview of what the station is about and what you can expect from it. The benefit to this is that you will save a lot of time checking out stations that wouldn't have interested you.

Better quality video that other programs

I've been using the software for a little while now, watching lots of channels, and the quality is generally very good. There's thousands of channels to watch here (although this is international so some of them will not be in your native language). And it feels really full and 'fat'.

Lots of sports channels to watch

Whether you're into the mainstream sports like baseball, football or you're into something like golf or martial arts, there's a lot of really good stuff to enjoy in the sports section here. You'll find a range of good channels in your language that you'll want to watch and add to your favourites. They've clearly put a lot of work into this section.
What I didn't like No search feature

This is something that I've been unable to find on any PC TV program. It's not a huge problem here as you get clear lists such as 'Sports' and 'Music' but it would be a nice addition to future updates.

Strengths
  • Low cost - under $30 dollars
  • Great quality video and some excellent stations
  • High number of channels to choose from
  • Very easy to use
  • Description of each channel saves time
  • Great sports and music stations
Weaknesses
  • No search feature
The verdict This is the tool to get. No two ways about it. It's light years ahead of everything else out there and, in most cases, cheaper too. I'm so happy with this tool and I'm sort of glad I found it after installing a lot of other programs because I can appreciate how right it's creators have got it.

If I sound like I'm over-enthusing about this software I apologise. But this program really does blow the competition out of the water. It's highly entertaining and whatever you're into, you'll get a real kick out of this.
