I don't know that particular one, but all the PC TV software I've looked at
offer 100's of channels and look very attractive when you read the blurb.
The only problem is that most of the channels seem to be religious, news
stations, or never seem to be on air when you want them. In most cases the
picture quality is terrible, though occasionally you'll get a reasonable one.
Even when you do manage to find a channel that's working, the content is
usually pretty ordinary (like 20-year old comedy shows). And even on fast
ADSL, they are often slow to download.
After trying several, I've now given up on PC TV. Maybe it'll get better. I
don't think I'd want to pay for one unless I could trial it first.
Having said that, I do find the free music TV channels that come with
Windows 10 Media Player are, in many cases, of excellent quality, though
rather limited in selection. So it is possible. Full marks to Microsoft, it
was a pleasant surprise when, by accident, I found this excellent facility
in WMP.
Perhaps others have had better experiences than I. I'd rather watch
You-Tube or VEOH.
