The Online TV Player is a program that accesses online TV and radio from around the world and streams it on your computer.

This program has a very simple layout and there really isn't much to it. You simply go through the lists of online TV and radio from whichever country you want, and select one to watch. It does require you to have certain additional programs like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player in order to play a number of the TV channels. We didn't have RealPlayer, but even the channels that did not require this would not open and didn't start streaming for us. There were just too many errors for this to be a worthwhile download. When we went to the Help page to see if we could fix the problem, we were met with poorly written English and still no answer to why none of the channels worked. No matter the time zone or the numbers of times we tried, an error always popped up. This was the latest update, we were connected to the Internet, and we had the latest of everything except RealPlayer, so it should have worked at least for some channels. Combine that with the overall look of the program and we unfortunately feel like we wasted time downloading this.

The download process, while not worth it, was really quick and simple. Once the installation process is over, you have the option of immediately launching the program and its Web site, which is a convenient step.

Pros
works but only plays ads
Cons
absolutely useless, full of adverts and selecting any of the listed tv stations mostly gives long adverts or other stuff, not what you asked for.... very opaque
Summary
useless
Did Not work for me

Pros
None that could see
Cons
No Matter whatever channels i tried i got the message "Windows media player cannot connect to the site" or "Windows media player cannot play this file". I created firewall exception for this program, still the same issue. Their FAQ does not mention any such problems/Solutions. I had to uninstall the program.

Pros
On Line TV offers a great opportunity to those who can afford the "add on's"...
Cons
For now, the requirement to purchase additional software (add on's) to watch some Online TV programming is a big turn-off. I Can't afford it in today's economy!
Summary
It's regrettable, but I will most likely delete Online TV Player from my P.C... because I cannot afford the "add on's".
in all sincerity ...booooooo !!!!!

Pros
If it worked!!
Cons
This site is a complete scam! They have no support, no contact number! You can only contact them via email. They don't respond to emails. I had sent a support request to them on Monday 20-Sep and still waiting for a response.
Summary
This site is a complete scam! They have no support, no contact number! You can only contact them via email. They don't respond to emails. I had sent a support request to them on Monday 20-Sep and still waiting for a response. I had originally downloaded the free version. No channels! Then purchased the professional version and again no channels! I then contacted their billing company on the Tues 21-Sep 'Avangate' for details. They also don't have a contact number? Very odd! This is a scam! They said all they can do is send an email to their support and wait for a response. Today is Friday Still waiting!! Now trying to get my money back! I had to contact mastercard for an immediate refund as it wasnt forthcoming from Avangate! Don't touch this company! Bewarned...
this is a very good program

This thing is a pain, without much content or features to offer. That makes it just not worth it to me.
