Internet connectivity has evolved and expanded so much that it's now assisting us in many of our daily activities and, in some cases, it is even replacing them altogether.Such is the case of traditional television. More and more people are watching their favorite TV channels online with the help of one of the many dedicated software solutions out there.
ChrisTV Online! FREE Edition is one of the tools that can do that, offering users a comprehensive list of TV channels from all over the world. It includes not only online television but also webcam streams, video on demand and radio stations.
The most important thing regarding ChrisTV Online! FREE Edition's is that the app is impressively easy to use, which means it is aimed at beginners and professional users alike.
Since the software offers such a long list of TV channels, it's only natural that it comes with multiple options to filter them by type and category, by country, by station type or by name.
There's no complicated settings menu, which again is great for less-experienced users, but a bunch of controllers for volume, for activating or deactivating the fullscreen mode as well as the needed buttons for recording, playing and stopping the stream.
We've tried a lot of channels during our test and we must admit that ChrisTV Online! FREE Edition has an impressive collection of streams that not only that cover most countries out there. Nonetheless, there are quite a few channels that are not available some because the stream is no longer made public while others require a Premium account.
All in all, ChrisTV Online! FREE Edition remains one of the best apps in this particular software category. Thanks to its ease of use and great variety of channels it comes with, this is a utility that definitely deserves one of the top spots.
