Version: TVU Player 1.5.12 beta
"A decent program for watching shared live TV streams..."
Pros: Its free.
It has some good TV channels like HBO and ESPN, not that junk like CSpan or NASA which is in all of those stupid junko internet tv programs.
Video quality is very good (320x240).
Not much rebuffering required after you fully buffer the stream.
Streams are live, and are only 15-20 seconds behind the actual broadcast on TV (I tested this with ESPN)
Cons: The GUI is fair and not very customizable...let alone the main window preventing resizing.
Streams take a lot of time to load.
Limited number of channels (around 15 or so), most of which are Chinese.
No options for customization in the program whatsoever.

Its a nice programs but there is just no level of customization, and the number of channels is limited. Im sure it was a good software for the World Cup since the soccer games were on ESPN, but other than that I dont see an overwhelming value for this software.
