There are a ton of solutions for aggregating online streams into a sort of desktop television of channels, all with varying quirks. Some forego quality content for quantity of channels. Others frequently fill the channel roster with Webcams that never update. TVUPlayer doesn't concern itself with quantity or Webcams. Instead, a short list of quality streams is provided in a clean simple interface. Channels include ESPN, Disney, ABC, FOX, NBC, CNN, USA, Comedy Central, Animal Planet, Telemundo, Al Jazeera and MLB TV. Around 40 channels are included. Video images are viewed in either a small 320x240 window or at a maximum size of 800x600, which is large enough considering most of the streams aren't meant to be seen full screen. The interface is locked down, so you can't add any new streams or delete ones you don't want, but you can create a list of favorites to avoid scrolling through the channel list. If you happen to have original video content, TVU Networks also has a tool for broadcasting your own channel into their interface. [Windows 2k/XP/Vista $0.00]
