By taking the hassles out of searching for quality video on the Internet, TVTonic can create a classic television experience where users can simply pick a channel using their remote, sit back and enjoy. The best online videos are available on demand, and TVTonic users don't have to suffer any longer from clunky streaming video downloads that freeze up or refuse to play at all. TVTonic is designed to cache content chosen by users, right on the user's hard drive, where it can be viewed in up to full-HD quality. TVTonic 3.2 is designed to leverage the full power of Microsoft Windows Vista and Media Center Edition PCs. It provides an unrivaled Internet television viewing experience to users, such as: - Sleek New Design: Full Screen, Full Time – Video experience is never interrupted because video plays in full screen all the time. Viewers interact with the software via menu overlays that smoothly animate in and out at the touch of a button, allowing a TV-like remote control channel surfing experience. - Progressive play & channel previews – There is no wait for TVTonic to download videos to your computer. Select videos that haven't been downloaded and watch them right away. - Mega-fast downloads – Wavexpress has completely revamped the download engine to pump volumes of new video content, for access to even high-definition feeds in a fraction of the time. - Bandwidth throttling – TVTonic lets you download as fast as your pipe can handle, but if you need to let the kids have some bandwidth for their homework, you can now throttle the download speed to as little as 10 kilobytes per second. - Native QuickTime playback – Not all of the improvements are just for Vista. Windows XP Media Center users will notice a vast improvement when playing QuickTime videos within TVTonic. QuickTime videos are now handled by the native media player in Media Center. - Seamless Integration with Xbox 360 – With a click of a button, Xbox 360 console owners can establish seamless integration with TVTonic for an alternate means to port Internet video to their TVs. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
