CNET Editors' review
We've seen a lot of Internet TV players, and the quality varies widely. Perhaps the biggest stumbling block for programs of this sort is the quality of the links that are included; more often than not we encounter programs that link to plenty of different streaming TV channels but then find that half the links don't work. Unfortunately, My Internet TV suffers from this problem: although it offers hundreds of channels from around the world, a lot of them simply don't work. We acknowledge that not all channels are on 24 hours a day, but we don't think that this fully explains the problem.
Other than the issue with non-functioning streams, we liked My Internet TV. The program's interface is well-organized and attractive, and the program has several features that we don't typically see in this sort of program. We were most impressed with the preview option. While users are watching a channel in the program's main viewing area, they can preview another channel in a smaller area to the side. We also liked the fact that the program has a favorites list, allowing users to keep track of their favorite channels. The program's built-in Help file is brief but adequate. Overall, we think that My Internet TV has potential, but users should expect to spend some time hunting for content.
My Internet TV is free to try, but the trial version shuts itself down after 10 minutes of use. The program installs politely but leaves a folder behind upon removal. We recommend this program to all users.
Publisher's Description
From Tesseract:
My Internet TV: the final solution for TV on PC. Watch hundreds of free TV channels from countries of all world in different languages. Television still remain one of the best media to use for its simple, immediate but professional approach to entertainment and information content. So why don't unify Television and Internet to get all benefit from both? We know that web counts hundreds of software solutions to watch streaming TV channels. So how can we choose among all these different proposals? My Internet TV may be the final choice. This software application must be used to get a new way to watch television. It does not pose any handling trouble and perusing the channel list is as easy as scrolling the mouse wheel or using keyboard arrows. My Internet TV has a preview window that works independently from video window; it is similar to picture-in-picture on television sets and it is very useful to take a quick look at a channel while watching another one. The application is fully resizable and the user can customize the look and feel at his pleasure. It permits to create a list of favourites in order to have a direct list of the most used channels. But the application goes beyond other similar software programs giving a simple way to populate a proper personal list of channels. Just one another note: No additional hardware is required! No TV Tuner Card, no satellite or other hardware: only an Internet connection to be connected to a wonderful world of video and music and information.
What's new in this version: Version 8.1 updated channels list and internal engine.

"When will these guys learn?"
Version: My Internet TV 7.2
Pros
I don't have any because i didn't see the point in downloading something I would never buy.
Cons
It shuts down after 10 minutes? You gotta be kiddin me.
Summary
When will these guys learn? Don't charge for your product! Give it away and charge the advertisers who want space on your product! Hulu is still basically free. And it's the best around, right? No one is going to out do Hulu by charging us money. I will go ahead and get cable again if I want someone taking my hard earned dollars again.
At least I know the links (channels) work, and there are no streaming problems. -
""My Internet TV" is shareware"
Version: My Internet TV 5.2
Pros
"My Internet TV" is a shareware product
Cons
"My Internet TV" is a shareware product
Summary
We think that the main goal of shareware is to make good software. We think that "My Internet TV" is of such type. My Internet TV is not freeware or PD and so some limitations to it must be used. But, in our opinion, these limits make however possible to test the product. Shareware operators need money to improve software (hundreds and hundreds hours of coding and testings) and to TRY to make better software than other freeware types. We know that there are free video players that are free of charge: but we think (again we try) to do some better software apps. As just a simple example the application goes beyond other similar software programs giving a simple way to populate a proper personal list of channels. Price includes also assistance to the customer and other benefits that freeware apps generally do not include.

"The Best Free internet TV site"
Version: My Internet TV 2.1.5
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 tention 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.

"There is a better player that is free."
Version: My Internet TV 2.1.5
Pros
Wow I get a whole 15 minutes to try this video player.
Cons
15 minutes is too short to properly test My Internet TV. TVU player is free to watch tv stations, and you can keep TVU player as long as you want.

"This is a joke..."
Version: My Internet TV 2.0.4
Pros
Nothing...
Cons
The publisher says this software was designed to be a free internet player for your pc... But it is a 5 minute trial so what is free about it?

"There must be something better."
Version: My Internet TV 2.0.4
Pros
I cant seem to find any thing I like.
Cons
The free trial is unreasonable a five minutes trial is not long enough to even test this product.
