Is it the 3click show index - or a massive TiVo?

Is it the 3click show index - or a massive TiVo?

Watching TV online has long been a combination of 50% luck and 90% pain and disappointment so it was only a matter of time before some bright spark realized the popularity for watching quality TV from the web was unexploited… ABC’s Lost, for example, was downloaded more than 2.8 million times in 2008.
Corporate-backed “mega sites” continue slowly to make the transition to TV on the web but nearly as many people use bit torrents or downloads.

Streaming is taking over in a big way although even now, only a handful of websites offer TV shows and these are limited to a few episodes of popular programming full of annoying ads. There are other catches too: Hulu does offer good streams but then limits the viewers to residents of the United States only… go ask your local Canadian about this. Finally, one internet startup set out to change the game.

3click.TV is this new kid on the block and it brings a true TiVo type experience to your desktop, your iPhone, and your Windows Mobile SmartPhone. That’s right, no ads, available everywhere, and offering unbeatable complete season show collections.

“This is the service that people expect from internet television.”

This gem stands out as the #1 streaming television site of 2009. The good folks at 3click.TV have made it easier than ever to enjoy all your favorite premium television shows. The in-browser player works flawlessly and their detailed show index catalogs more than 12,000 episodes spread over nearly 200 shows - and growing daily - with descriptions provided for each episode. The single most important feature however has to be the 3click.TV iPhone Edition, a high resolution streaming service direct to your iPhone, swiftly making iTunes at $1.99 per downloaded episode seem hardly feasible…

The downside of 3click.tv’s iPhone service is that if you are in an area with poor 3G service or a less than pristine wifi connection, you may experience some or a lot of buffering. We tried it in a number of environments ranging from coffee shops, airports, hotels, and home or office connections with a variety of results. The solution is to pause play to load an episode (similar to YouTube) for hiccup-free viewing.

3click.TV plans to stay ahead of the pack by now offering complete seasons of all featured shows. Crystal clear quality audio and video makes viewing a pleasure and no geographical limitations on this service breaks out the smiles across the globe. Streaming all this great content to SmartPhones equipped with Windows Mobile OS and using the new Skyfire Mobile browser are also another noteworthy. Future developments include a robust sports package and a set-top box enabling TV junkies anywhere to plug into the web and watch, which will bring about the inevitable death of conventional cable/satellite TV.

So the next time we want to indulge in a season of 24 or Dexter or take in all 20 seasons of The Simpsons, we go to this one-stop comprehensive library. What’s even better is that your episodes actually play on the first click. And that goes for you Canadians too!
