With the click of a mouse, this program turns a broadband-connected computer into a television, streaming hundreds of channels from around the world to the desktop. It lacks most of the big U.S. networks and pay TV channels such as HBO and Showtime, but offers a wide variety of local news, sports, and education programming. International viewers have programming options ranging from Germany to Hong Kong. The interface offers three screens: one large and two small. Double-clicking any of these brings it to full-screen. In the age of YouTube, there may be more variety elsewhere on the Net, but this application offers a fast way to bring a large range of television programming to the desktop without a TV card.

Pros
I like how it is organized. Very easy to understand. There are 93 channels like it says..
Cons
But the only thing is there aren't really any major popular channels, like CNN, ABC, NBC, Sci-Fi, etc. A lot of local news channels from other parts of the U.S. But other than that I think it is a very good program! I would recommend it.
Summary
Nice clean and easy to use

Pros
Lots of channels that I find useful and entertaining. Also, being able to launch the video in media player so I am not limited to using only their application is great. Not to mention the 3 channels. Very nice work on this.
Cons
Would be nice if there were a guide. You have to have broadband.
