"Most Innovated Program and Website To Date"
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.17
Pros
HUGE selection of channels. Movies, tv, documentaries, live cams, music and more.
Open forums and live chat so viewers can communicate with each other and the broadcasters in real time.
With each passing day more people are broadcasting higher quality programming due to the cost of high-speed broadband going down in most areas.
So far immune to most copyright issues. As long as broadcasters broadcasting possible copyrighted material do so in moderation, meaning 12 hour streams every 24 hours instead of 72 plus hour streams, the copyright police seem to leave it alone. Although, I see many who broadcast such material 24/7 for many days with no issues. I believe Vettle something in place which keeps this site protected from such claims as this is the ONLY program and website I know of that's open and popular that still remains online without issues.
It's FREE!Cons
Comments disappearing. The automated Veetle comment mod can be very schizophrenic and will delete your comment if you use a banned word. Which words are banned and when I don't know. Swear words of course, but there have been times my comments were deleted because I used the word "I'll" or the year "2012." I test this by splitting up my full comment to find the banned word, and many times just minutes or hours later, I'll be able to use the banned word. So if you leave a lengthy comment be sure to copy and paste it so you can go through it and remove whatever word it's not allowing you to use. See how silly this is, I spent how many words talking about mostly a non-issue that shouldn't even be an issue.
Too many people broadcast in lower bitrate quality but that trend is slowly turning around.
You need at least a 3MB download speed to view higher quality channels. Even though a high-quality may run at 1,500 bitrate, the peaks can be double that. 5MB or higher is recommended.Summary
Just what the internet needed.
The best way to navigate is from the main page click on "channels" then to the left will be categories. Movies are "Entertainment" and TV shows are now "Shows." Then there is All, Animation, Comedy, Education, Gaming, Mobile, Sports, Music, News and Religion.
I was a longtime viewer turned broadcaster. This is now one of the top 3 sites I spend my time on. I love the ability to interact and connect with other users and for the most part it's a "troll free" environment. There is no Porn as some claim, in Veetle's early days there was some, but very little, now a porn channel wouldn't last more than a few minutes if at all. I haven't seen one in more than 4 months.
For windows pc and mobile users it's flawless, but since the last Mac OS upgrades/updates there have been issues with Mac users finding many channels unable to play, but Veetle will have a fix for it soon. Some Mac users report no issues though.
Come join the new revolution in entertainment, it can't be stopped. SOPA and the Protect IP bills and similar ones WILL NOT survive congress if we THE PEOPLE, THE TECH PEOPLE, ban together and bring in the new world together. Peace -
"Empty Promises"
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.17
Pros
Good programs listed.
Cons
Programs dont stream well..some are unwatchable. And now, Forensic Files and Twilight Zone are gone. Useless. Probably some content left for 12 year olds.
Summary
Let me know if and when it comes back and shows some good old classic TV programs. For now...deleting the program.

"Veetle works good; but there are many things lacking..."
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.18
Pros
I researched veetle.com and the download here on cnet...once I found out that the download/software was safe...I finally downloaded it. I love the site veetle.com because there is plenty to watch and many movies and tv in High Quality or HD.
Cons
I have many problems w/live comments communicating w/the Broadcasters of channels or members; I have to refresh,or go back out of the page & then back to the page in order for my comments to stay live w/replies. I emailed veetle, & no help. See Below
Summary
I hope to get the live feed comments problems resolved because it is very frustrating to post a live comment and then not be able to see any replies or comments after my last comment.
Another bad thing is that veetle.com does not have a search bar to be able to find a specific channel and/or broadcaster that you may have used before. Also, when you or going through a specific "category" like movies for instance, you can be on a page looking at each channel, and then after you view that channel and go back to the listings, the same channels may not be listed, they keep changing and may not be there any longer, & have moved to different pages. It's very frustrating! So far, customer sevice or "help" is nonexistent from veetle.com directly. -
"The Future TV Player"
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.18
Pros
You can Broadcast to the world via you're TV and view shared channels via the player
Cons
At times there can be delays but there only related to my Linux system player. From my understanding there coming out with a newer player that will handle HD.
Summary
Love the player! Works nicely with WIN7, Ubuntu 10.10. On top of viewing, you can broadcast you're TV selection to the world. Lastly if connect to Veetle.com via Iphone or Itouch (WiFi), you will see that you can connect too many channels that are streaming movies and "live" sporting events. Overall Iphone will stream perfectly in the low cell tower areas....its just AMAZING

"works but still has problems"
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.18
Pros
works really well for my p2p and sites like it because it has great quality and relatively no streaming issues. Great for watching any type of sports games especially things that aren't shown in your area
Cons
added large amount of tracking cookies to pc. The biggest problem I had was that it interfered with microsoft's starlight plugin. So if you have netflixs for instance you were unable to watch it.
Summary
really i would say it is a decent product and relatively safe because tracking cookies at least the ones that it added were not harmful. I would say download it and if it interferes with anything remove it.

Watching football on Sundays at a high quality with Veetle now without cable fees.
Cons
Does not seem to have any malware. Scans show none. Must be a reason for the download.
Summary
Best downloadable viewer availible.

"Works as advertised, but picture quality is not good."
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.17
Pros
- Easy setup
- Easy website program selection
- Watched NFL game with no problemsCons
Picture quality when ported to my TV screen was less than Standard Def (480i)
Summary
I like this product. It works well and as advertised.

"WOW! Wonderful program!"
Version: Veetle TV 0.9.17
Pros
Installs easily, works as described without draining resources. On the Veetle site it is nice to have so many choices and enjoyable to read the user comments too.
Cons
Channel selection seems too static. I would think there would be more new channels happening faster than there are. I hope more people decide to broadcast comedy (hint, hint).
Summary
Like everything related to the VLC group of programs and projects it just works, easily and correctly. I send a big thank-you to everyone who worked to make Veetle a reality. Thank you.
