Today it is no longer necessary to connect cable TV to the house, and often even a TV set-top box is not required. To fully watch popular channels, just install on your computer or smartphoneprograms for watching TV onlineand enjoy the result. There are many such applications and it is often difficult to choose the optimal solution. We offer a selection of the best, in our opinion, TV players for stationary and mobile devices.
First, let's look at programs for home computers and laptops. As a rule, such solutions are equipped with an integrated list of channels and do not use intermediary portals for work.
An excellent free application that, among other things, provides the user with a lot of additional options. With its help, you will not easily watch a TV broadcast, you will get the opportunity to see exactly what you like.
- The program for viewing makes available about 1500 channels in almost all countries of the world.
- Convenient sorting is applied, which will not get confused during the search.
- Many channels are broadcast from pay satellite frequencies.
- The application will easily record the desired program for the user, according to the set timer.
- It is possible to capture video from the camera and broadcast it. The latter will be appreciated by YouTube account holders and streamers.
- Buffering is well debugged, the application broadcasts the stream without delays or interruptions.
Despite the many advantages, the software also has a number of disadvantages. First of all, it is an overloaded interface. You can't figure it out on the fly and for comfortable use you will have to take time to study. In addition, server overload can often be observed. More detailed information about the product on the official website torrent-tv.ru.
High-quality cross-platform software that allows on multiple devices with one subscription. There is also a free version, but 10 not the most popular Russian channels are available in it. Paid packages are presented in several options, you can choose to your taste.
The app is very simple and incredibly easy to use. Dealing with it will not be difficult.
All this makes the product in demand. In addition, the user can choose the image quality in accordance with the current connection speed.
Of the minuses, it is worth noting the small amount of interesting content in the free version. And also users note a slightly confusing payment system. The rest of the application is undoubtedly worthy of users' attention, and continues our review.. You can download it on the crystal.tv website.
Another decent product in the online TV niche. It provides an opportunity for free viewing of a large number of Russian channels and a separate TV broadcasting base from other countries. The main advantage of the player is free distribution, you can find and download the product on the official website rustv-player.ru.
In addition, it is very easy to use, the interface is not overloaded and resources are few. These are not all the advantages of the application:
The user can change the playback quality. The application is stable, since there are several broadcast sources for each channel, overload is extremely rare.
The software has practically no drawbacks. The only drawback is the relatively small number of channels available. However, all popular entertainment resources are available through the RusTV Player application.
A powerful multimedia processor, the capabilities of which are far from being limited to watching online TV. If you download this software, then you can safely remove several applications that can successfully replace the new player. In addition to comfortable watching TV, the application allows you to play audio and video files, connect to CCTV cameras and even download torrent files with their playback until the download is complete.
As for directly online TV, the advantages are as follows.
The developers offer to test online TV and give the opportunity to use the largest tariff for free for 30 days. You can find out the details and download the program on the developers' website comboplayer.ru.
ComboPlayer has no obvious flaws. The only thing worth noting is that the software is developed for a PC with an operating system from Windows 7 and higher, it is no longer supported on XP.
One of the best programs for watching TV onlineusers, whose provider provides the IP-TV service. During the installation process, you must select your provider or manually enter the playlist address. This data is provided by the company that connected the Internet.
After the application is installed and the playlist file is downloaded, the user will receive the following benefits.
- Simple and straightforward Russian-language interface.
- Convenient menu for switching channels in the right block with the name of the current program and the ability to hide the list.
- Not overloaded and functional control panel. It will help you quickly stop or resume playback, record the desired fragment and adjust the sound.
- For more convenient use, you can customize the application in accordance with the preferences of the owner.
The program is not intended for viewing encrypted streams. Otherwise, this is an excellent solution for watching TV, but only if the provider provides such an opportunity. Otherwise, the player is useless.
You can find out more information and download the distribution kit for installation on the official website ip-tvplayer.ru.
The program is distributed free of charge and you can download it on the official resource progdvb.com, but for more demanding users there is an extended paid version. The stripped-down version does not provide for the possibility of recording and other additions, only viewing a certain number of channels is available in it.
The program will delight the client:
However, all these advantages are available only in the paid version, which will cost the user a rather expensive 35-50 euros, depending on the version. For those who do not want to buy a pig in a poke, there is a 21-day test period.
Of the minuses, it is also worth noting a rather overloaded interface, which takes time to master, as well as the need to use the .NET Framework 2.0 and higher software platform.
A great alternative to the above products, especially for those with low internet speeds. This is the only oneprogram for watching TV online, which works normally from 56 kbps. The developer offers two versions: free and PRO. You can find out more details, download and, if necessary, purchase a license key on the official website ahusoft.com.
Features of the application.
But don't forget the downsides. The software offers a huge number of freely available TV channels, but only 11 of them are Russian. Here you will not find a single popular channel familiar to a domestic user. Supported by the operating system Windows 7 and earlier, does not integrate with modern shells.
BooTV
A simple and intuitive interface, Russian channels - all a good player needs to watch online TV in order to become popular among users. BooTV is just that. It is undemanding to the system, takes up a minimum of space and is distinguished by low resource intensity. The software is portable and does not require installation, just download it from the official site booradio.narod.ru and run it. 
Benefits of the program.
- A decent number of exclusively Russian channels, among which there are popular entertainment projects.
- All popular Russian-language radio stations.
- Uncluttered and intuitive interface.
- Easy switching between channels.
- The ability to customize the interface in accordance with user preferences.
Of the minuses: periodic loading of the source server, disconnection of some channels. But due to the ease of use and the presence of popular channels, this player is one of the best solutions in this direction.
This is not a complete list of available programs that can turn your computer into a full-fledged TV. Here is just a small list of those products that we advise you to pay attention to. The choice should be based on technical conditions and personal preference.
Programs for watching TV online on mobile devices
Now let's look at similar applications for mobile devices. There are also many such programs, so we offer a small overview of those that we liked the most.
The clear leader in the number of downloads and installations, according to statistics from Google Play and the App Store. This application can be easily downloaded to a mobile device with any OS. After installation, the user will have access to all popular, entertainment, children's and sports channels in Russia and several countries of the world.
Features of the application.
To say that the app is great is to say nothing. Nevertheless, there are also disadvantages: a number of channels are available only in paid packages, the user does not have the ability to change the breath rate manually, to view it, you need to create an account in the application.
The application is distinguished by its ease of use and simplicity of the interface. The main screen contains a directory of channels from which you can quickly go to viewing the program guide or the broadcast itself.
The main advantage of the product is the availability of an archive of broadcasts for the last 2 weeks. Thanks to this, the user can watch the desired program, even if he missed its broadcast on TV.
Peers.TV is distributed free of charge, but some channels are available only by subscription, the latter will cost 199 and 99 rubles, depending on the selected package.
TV +
The best solution for sports channel lovers. For a purely symbolic fee (49-69 rubles), the user gets the opportunity to enjoy live broadcasts of current matches and other competitions at a convenient time.
The program is easy to use and does not require any special settings. It is enough just to download and you can watch your favorite channels. A large number of Russian channels are available in the free version. The main screen is a list of channels with a dynamic preview, the user does not need to search for the program guide, you can immediately see what is currently on the desired channel.
TV + has the following features.
The main drawback of TV + is slow buffering, you will have to wait a while before launching the desired channel. There is no possibility of recording the broadcast or rewinding it, only the broadcast is similar to real television.
An excellent program that will turn your smartphone into a full-fledged TV. After downloading, a wide range of popular TV channels will become available. For those for whom this is not enough, the developers offer several paid packages, each of which will cost 75 rubles per month.
Features of the application.
The application should be chosen by those who appreciate the quality of broadcasting and prefer to see the perfect picture on the screen. The set of channels will appeal to sports fans, film fans and children.
Of the minuses, only the presence of advertising can be distinguished, it haunts the user only in the free version. Subscription will get rid of ad units.
The application for mobile devices provides access to 120 Russian channels in HD quality. You can download it for free, but viewing is limited. Without a subscription, the user will be able to watch TV for 15 minutes; to continue, you will have to pay, and this is perhaps the only drawback of the product. Subscription depending on the duration (from 1 week to a year) will cost $ 0.99- $ 8.99.
The application allows you to watch TV online without delays, interruptions and other "delights" of free software. The source server can handle high loads without compromising quality.
As you can see from our review, the choice
