TV Free Watch

An important step in the evolution of entertainment is the TV. Now that most shows and clips of interest can be accessed online, we can say that the TV adapted to new technologies. Special services might be required to access specific streams, but this can also be done with the help of desktop utilities like TV Free Watch.

A decent amount of built-in channels to access

When installed, the application can be launch to see what TV channels are accessible. The main window shows up in all its glory, with a neat interface in terms of style letting you easily get acquainted with the set of features. Most of the space serves as the preview area, with dedicated playback controls, accompanied by a side panel where you find the list of channels.
The application comes with a decent list of built-in channels to explore, neatly organized in categories like news, business, entertainment, government, sports, kids, lifestyle, movies, music, religious, weather, shopping, as well as webcam streams. However, there’s no info related to the place of origin.

Connect via proxy and configure quality

Depending on the type and quality of your Internet connection, you might need to wait some time for the channel to load. Playback automatically starts, with options to pause, stop, and adjust volume. Sadly, there’s no built-in recorder to capture shows of interest, or specific events in case you’re not around.
What’s more, you need to find channels of interest among the predefined ones, because the application doesn’t let you add custom ones, nor edit existing items. There is a general options panel, with which you are able to configure performance by manually choosing connection type, whether to use default buffering, and even connect through a Proxy server.

In conclusion

To sum it up, TV Free Watch comes with good intentions and there’s a high chance you can stumble upon a favorite channel while browsing through the impressive default list. The overall design is pretty intuitive, and you can configure connections for better processing or quality. It would have also been useful to see recording options for when you’re not around.
