"It's not a TOTAL failure"

November 12, 2012  |   By Pak.Hanafi

Version: TVUPlayer 2.5.3.1

Pros

Some shows/channels are available sometimes.

Cons

Most channels are unavailable most of the time.
Image quality is sub-par.

Summary

Not what it is touted to be. There are shows available, but they are not anything I want to see.

"It's an okay TV program on average"

July 29, 2012  |   By Skyhawk007

Version: TVUPlayer 2.5.3.1

Pros

1) It's got a decent Music Video in Broccoli TV, which plays music
videos from the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

2) It's got a nice array of classic TV show from the 1950's- Jack
Benny, Burns and Allen (George Burns and his wife Gracie, that
is) and other hard to find shows from an era not seen anymore.

3) There is a nice tab listing of different channels, from Music
to cartoon, movies, sports

Cons

There's a great deal of TV channels that don't work most of the time, if at all. They are almost never able to be seen when you want to see them. When you want to see something that interests you, the channel is too weak to come in, and thus is not able to be seen. I would say about 1/3 or more of them are not broadcasting, if at all.
The cartoon channel has almost no selection to it. It only shows very old, very dull, and uninteresting cartoons from the 1940's and 50's that very few if any are familiar with.
Outside of Popeye, there are seldom anything good to watch.
There needs to be more relevant and newer cartoons from the 1960's to now that should be shown, are far more often, if possible.

Summary

Overall, it's a nice program to have when nothing else is on regular TV. I have had TVU player for many years now, and it's okay- not bad, but not great either.
If it had better and a larger variety of on-demand shows- especially classic shows, Sitcoms and cartoons from the 1960's to present, then I would rate it higher.

"Live channels from all over the world"

April 3, 2011  |   By davidenk

Version: TVUPlayer 2.5.3.1

Pros

I like TVU quite a lot. Being a professional linguist, I love to browse TV stations from all over the world. TVU makes this possible.
I can even record my favorite programs!
The service is available 24/24

Cons

Sometimes you don't see your program because of connection problems.
The images are far from being perfect sometimes.

Summary

All in all, IHO, TVU is one of the best live -TV players right now. Of course you will have to do a little housekeeping ( select your favorites), but after that you will have your personal cable TV ...without paying a single euro.
( If you want to record, it's possible...and cheap.)

"Real CRAPWARE"

February 18, 2011  |   By meisterjohn

Version: TVUPlayer 2.5.3.1

Pros

None that I could find. I had used a previous version several years ago that worked well.

Cons

Keeps crapping out.
Channels are not consistent.
You can't record unless you subscribe for a fee.
Customer service is virtually non-existent!

Summary

This is a totally unreliable piece of crapware. If you consult the TVU Forums, you will find so many people all having the same problems. Channels are here one day and gone the next. Some broadcasters take great pleasure in pausing the video portion or altering the audio portion making it impossible to enjoy the content. Forget it if you want to see any major USA network! It is a P2P so you may get throttling from your ISP or a hefty bill if you overrun your cap.
It may be free but certainly not worth the download or the aggravations.
