CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Providing one-stop shopping for all your video needs, open-source Miro deserves much of the praise that's been heaped upon it.
The concept is brilliant, yet simple: create a video player that can subscribe to and download video podcasts while comprehensively managing your saved videos. On the face of it, this might sound like iTunes, but the sharing component is an essential aspect of the program. Miro has always been geared toward video and it shows in the program's design. When you launch the app, a left sidebar hosts a folder tree for managing your videos. The central pane does double duty for viewing videos and searching for new ones. The bottom hosts a search box for parsing through Google, YouTube, Yahoo, and others, a video control panel, and a volume control.
Features include full torrent support, so you can download and view torrents in the same app; folder watching to manage only the hard-drive folders you specify for new videos; resumable playback; channel surfing, which organizes video feeds by topic; video sharing and hosting; and assistance in creating videos.
Miro version 1.0 includes a startup guide, permalinks, search-result memory, and a much more stable platform.

Version: Miro 1.0
"The Best Free internet TV site"
Pros: After testing various TV software and visiting loads of sites. most of them offer a free trial or preview and then they make you pay to sign up, or are cluttered with ads. I think that is ridiculous... so ive done my research and have found a couple of really decent sites. The first one Id like to draw your attention to is (viewmy.tv) This site has almost 1300 channels from around the globe and counting. it is
free to register and they dont ask for stupid details, just your username and email address. It actually streams live channels so you dont have to download any and they have a pretty easy way of finding the channel you want. You can search through genre, country, region or name of the channel. oh and there are
no ads either. Check this one out. With over 1300 channels from hundreds of countries, loads of features like channel rating, user recommendations, live chat, profile pages and much much more.

Version: Miro 1.0
"It didn't start off too well"
Pros: Nice interface and seems stable at the moment
Cons: The first problem is when you load the software. It asks you to configure it. It then asks if it should search for videos in My Documents so I said YES. IT DOESN'T SEARCH SUBFOLDERS and I got loads of them - it's useless. For this reason only I give it two stars - when I have used it more, I will return.

Version: Miro 1.0
Pros: it does what its told.........most of the time
Cons: it associates itself with all video files you have and turns them into miro.1 files which on any other kind of software are unsupported and therefore useless. i found this out when trying to move files to my psp. even if you completly remove the miro software all of your video files will still be miro.1 files. =(
