Just came upon reading a new local company Worldip.tv (read like world-ip) is offering internet Tv platform that consist of local channel (TV 3, NTV 7, TV8 and TV 9) and some Indonesian channel.

I sign-up on their service and try it. It a good effort from these guys. Being malaysian company and able to come up with this software (i hope the back-end is not an oem from some other company), the streaming is quite impressive. The picture and sound quality are very good.

Resize - Only full size or original. You can’t re-size to your liking

Channel - Everytime you need to change a channel, you need to go back to the original page.

Timeout - It will stop after 30 minutes and it’s said ‘due to inactivity, we stop the stop streaming’ (the word might be exact but it’s sound something like that). So, it’s like you have a TV and if you don’t use your remote control in the span of the 30 minutes, the TV will shut down.

Compare to TVUnetworks. TVUnetworks is by far the most stable of all the internet TV. I have tried tried RongTv, Tvants and SatelliteTV PC elite. All these internet TV software I mention on the parentheses have not been able to continue streaming for more than 1 minute without going into buffering.

It’s almost function like Tv. Anytime you want to change channel, just click on the left side and you can re-size to any size. Further, they provide broadcast software for anyone to stream their video.

As of now, my vote goes to TVUnetworks. All internet Tv wannabe need to work hard.

Next, It’s would be interesting to see how Worldip.tv will roll out their subscription based plan. They claim to have 15,000 subscribers. The moment you say, collect money. That number will drop to 1%-3%. So, before they choose this road, they need to find other stream of revenue. Otherwise, it will be……something to be forgotten by next year.
