JLC’s Internet TV 1.0

More and more TV stations around the world are streaming feeds via the Internet, but locating these feeds and playing them can be a chore for users. Now it’s easier to find numerous TV channels on the ’Net in one place with the help of JLC’s (Joakim L. Christiansen’s) Internet TV.

JLC’s Internet TV is fairly straightforward: All you have to do is install the latest version of Windows Media Player or RealPlayer and then run JLCIT. Once you download the program, hundreds of available TV feeds will appear on a list on the right side of the program’s window. You can sort these TV channels by name, country of origin, category (such as News, Education, General, and so forth), bit rate, and comments by clicking the column headers.

To play a TV channel’s Internet feed directly in the JLCIT window, just doubleclick the station in the list. The volume and playback controls will appear directly under video. If you want to change channels, just double-click a new channel from the list.

The latest beta essentially adds more features, including an improved Help file and a new way to update the station list that is more server-friendly. There are also a lot of improvements under the hood to help with future versions.
