TVTonic for Windows

User Reviews

• I really like it!

  KCMike1010September 29, 2008

  Pros

  Over 350 channels to choose from. I have the files download at night and watch them the next day.

  Cons

  Some of the files take a while to download. I have DSL and some files are downloading just slightly above dial-up speed. If you have metered usage I don't recommend it. Some files are HD video and they are very large.

  Summary

  I currently subscribe(all free) to about fifteen channels and the video files are constantly downloading so you might want to adjust how much bandwith you want TVTonic to use. I've noticed a performance hit on my normal web browsing. Or just set it up to have the files download from midnight to 8am only.

• Don't Download it.....

  litlgurlSeptember 7, 2008

  Pros

  NOTHING it's Malware.

  Cons

  It gets deep into your computer, it's hard to get rid of, don't believe support, I had to get "Revouninstaller" and then I had to go into Hot Keys and registry to remove existing stuff because it's like a weed, if you don't get it all it comes back.

  Summary

  It's Malware and it slows down your computer and it's really hard to get rid of it.

• Vodcasts & internet TV on HTPC

  mrvnjJuly 30, 2008

  Pros

  Using with Vista Media Center on HTPC. This a simply a podcast/RSS 2.0 client (like iTunes) but is designed to work with VMC and your VMC remote - just what I need. It is the best way I have found to watch podcasts and RSS video feeds on the HTPC TV. Makes it a "TV-like" experience as opposed to computer. You can surf "channels" like you do on TV. Very slick, remote-friendly interface.

  Cons

  Couple of quirks which I am in the process of figuring out. If you're watching TVTonice then swith to something else, for ex. regular TV or music, once the other material finishes playing it will resume playing the TVTonic content by itself - very annoying. I don't see a way to "exit" TVTonic so this won't happen.

• Improved = Fun!

  moy333June 18, 2008

  Pros

  When I first got the program installed it would crash Media Center but not anymore. They have fixed the bugs and now it works great. Not all the content is useful but definitely a fun alternative for TV

• This should have been a part of Windows Media Center

  gemarpleSeptember 12, 2007

  Pros

  We use this program more than any other in our Windows Media Center. This is IP TV. I cannot understand why Microsoft did not include an aggregator for RSS netcasts into WMC.

  Cons

  The download manager should be improved to allow for a disrupted download to resume instead of starting over.

• No credit card required

  lsonkoJuly 16, 2007

  Pros

  We're sorry for the confusion but, as of TVTonic 3.2, there is no credit card or other personal information required to use the software. <p>The EULA language is left over from an older version of the software that did require this information. We'll update the EULA as soon as possible.

• Misleading

  runnynoseJuly 9, 2007

  Pros

  Cons

  In the license agreement you are required to enter your credit card number and you agree to allow them to charge anything at any time. What's free about that?
