Actually I'd have to say this isn't as good as the description makes it out to be. For starters the quality is good but it's certainly not dvd quality. Next it basically just reads the rss of some sites and displays the video content, mostly vlog content. So it just downloads the Rocketboom video on your computer directly from Rocketbooms site. Then it plays it off your hard drive, hardly considered iptv. What's worse is that it installs several toolbars in to Internet Explorer, that's how the free trial is sponsored. It took a bit of registry cleaning to remove it completely, I'm not happy with it. After some site searching, I found something close to IPTV - that being a service called FreeTube. It requires you to have windows media player installed, but from there your can just watch a few various channels in your browser. No special plugin or download needed, besides windows media player.

TVtonic is some cool stuff. I really like the quality and the music is great. I can't wait until this replaces my cable service!

This one isn't a DVD service, more like a TV network, although the material is stored on your hard drive until it is updated.

So can you download unlimited DVDs and can you download them to your harddrive, or can they only be viewed online?
