Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
The word free in the title doesn't mean this Internet video player is freeware. It means you don't have to pay to watch channels of Internet TV. Free Internet TV packs RealMedia and Windows Media decoders into an attractive, easy-to-use interface and offers an automatically updated list of TV channels.
The channels are sorted by country, and you can instantly see the bit rate of each. Thanks to the Favorites feature, you won't have to search for a channel every time. Of course, you can easily do without Free Internet TV if you have Real Player and Windows Media Player installed on your computer--and who doesn't? But Free Internet TV doesn't bury you under a host of settings, and it removes the chore of looking for channels. Those are small but real benefits.
Though it's definitely not a must-have, Free Internet TV is a perfectly adequate way to watch your favorite shows online.

Internet TV is an Internet television tuner program that can receive over 2000 online channels of daily and live broadcasts from around the world. There is no need for a PC TV card because the TV channels are streamed through your Internet connection.

You can watch in regular or full-screen mode, visit live content not available anywhere else with no subscription required. This software comes with automatic TV station updates so it will never be out of date. If you are interested in alternative programming, learning languages, foreign cultures, entertainment or news, this is a good choice for you.

It's free. It works and allows access to a number of TV shows. It doesn't claim to replace cable and it doesn't. For free, it is hard to find much fault.

Good basic software that does what it says, but no more.
