Zattoo TV
Zattoo is a small tv on pc software very interesting because it allows to view live certain French and foreign channels of the radio network and tnt. It is necessary to create an account zattoo to activate the software, it is free and no spaming is to be feared. The installation went smoothly, the use is very simple.
Once launched, the program is rather light, a short advertisement will appear at launch of each chain. The picture quality is decent (even X2 report), 24 channels are available in France for the moment, all the channels of France Television. Our Swiss neighbors are entitled to them over a hundred channels, including TF1 and M6. The operation is very stable, very few bugs and disconnections.
Max tv
Max Belgian tv software is amazing: you can view the free bouquet of their ISP (orange for me), 48 major national and international channels, plus a myriad of web-tv's and radios. I discovered quite by chance, and I was surprised to be able to watch live channels such as france2, arte, iTV ... And wifi, no tv card.
On the down side, the operation is quite slow, some bugs, and we must wait interminable seconds between each change of string ... The picture quality varies chains, globally quite average. Navigation through the menu is not really intuitive.Il is necessary to open the UDP Port 55550 in the router for correct operation.
Good to know: The software integrates camstudio and easy to record a program.
JLC's Internet TV
This small software unpretentious aggregated from numerous web tv's in every country. You will not find our large national chains, but all channels that broadcast in streaming such as BFM TV, france24 ... (There is even adult broadcasts, but shhh! ...).
The main interest of this little software is its simplicity, speed (it starts instantly, change channels are immediate, no ads ...) and light is absolute. Ideal for watching the news for example, while surfing or working on his pc.
Again the picture quality varies with the chains, it is very far from the high-definition TV but it is sufficient for the use that we will have this software. Main flaw Many of the proposed channels are not working.
Orange Web TV
This online service allows all Orange subscribers to watch 39 channels including those of France Television, iTV, bfm tv, etc ... nt1 Other channels require a subscription to Orange TV. Again, no need for TV card or Ethernet connection. To use this service, simply go to the portal page orange.fr
The mini player on this page is only for preview. Just select a chain in the carousel, and then click on the small symbol in the bottom right of the player to view the channel on full screen.
The picture quality is simply bluffing. Main flaw loading time when you select a channel or when changing from small to large format is very long. Full screen mode covers the screen and it is therefore impossible to use his pc while viewing.
