So what is TVTonic?
- TVTonic is not adware, and it is not spyware. It is a trusted application that uses some of the free space on your hard-drive to power a great media experience. TVTonic does not take over your resources. It only utilizes the disk space that you allocate.
TVTonic will regularly show promotional video for new channels that are available. TVTonic does not contain banners, pop-ups, or any other web advertisements, nor do we sell your contact details to anyone, ever. The only advertising you might see is TV-like advertising designed to support some of TVTonic's free entertainment channels. None of our free channels currently carry ads, and if this changes we will tell you about it first. If you don't subscribe to ad-supported channels, then you will never view any advertisements.

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

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.

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!

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.
