Whether you are a child or an adult, 6 years or 60 year old, you like to watch television. But can you have a TV in your office? If your answer is YES, then there is no problem. If your answer is NO, then you must have this alternative. There are online TV Players available for free download. You can download them, watch TV channels on your laptop in your office or any place you go, if you have internet connection enabled.
Though there are many free internet TV Players available, not all of them are equally good. Some have good quality but less channels and on the other hand, there are players with over 1500 channels but poor quality. After seeing the quality of all the players and there features, I have reviewed top 3 free internet TV players (Joost and Babelgum not considered).
3. Online TV Player
Online TV Player lets you watch over 850 TV channels and also lets you listen over 1500 radio Stations. Once you download the 2 MB installation file, you can install and watch all the channels online without opening any browser.
There aren’t too many advertisements to annoy you, though the player is slow and the quality is not so good. A good feature is the ability to filter the channels that play only in high speed internet. So this is a boon for dial-up users. You can download it from here.
2. Live TV
Live TV is a toolbar that plays video in your browser. When you install it, you will see a toolbar in Internet Explorer(not compatible with Firefox). With 1750 channels available, sorted by category or country, you can use this toolbar to view them. It’s is extremely easy to control this player, and has a variety of high quality videos. The channels load faster than the Online TV Player, but ads near the toolbar may be a bit unfriendly.
You might already be having many toolbars and adding one more to it will make the browser look terrible. But if you don’t mind the toolbar and the ads, then this player is for you. You can download it from here.
JLC Internet TV
JLC Internet TV is a player which plays over 1400 Channels. The main advantage in this player is that you can know which channel will play with best quality. The channels load faster than the above two. This player has not even a single advertisement. The quality of videos is very good.
JLC Internet TV player also has the ability to check for updates in channels. So you always get the latest content and sometimes new channels. If you are looking for an internet TV Player then JLC Internet TV is for you. You can get it here.
Note: All these players require Windows OS, Windows Media Player/Real Media Player.

Oh, it’s so good!
Unfortunately, my country’s internet connection is as slow as ant walking slowly!
But I will try the “Online tv Player”. That’s seem nice to have a user-friendly filter to avoid those channel that require high speed internet connection!
you didn’t include joost ? Well, never tried these but TV in office can lead to unproductivity!
Nice post, never know these players, i will try these ones.
Ken, Sad that you don’t have a faster connection. Yes, Online TV Player is good for Dial Up users. It can filter the videos and can show you the 56k videos alone.
ReviewSaurus, I tried Joost after trying these but still these three are great because they can present you with live videos for some channels.
Ram, Do try these players. They are great and you can get the news and shows on your PC itself for free.
Cool. Will try these.
Lovedeep, Try it and you would love it.
That was a great post there, Ram Karthik. Very useful. Would be a source of entertainment and also some information and news
Shankar, Glad you liked it.

Kanak, Thanks for the stumble.
Glad this article helped you.
Great. I am a big fan of free Internet TV Player
Kuanhoong, Me too. That’s why I made the post.
this is a nice list … I’ve never tried free tv but will do soon
I’m sure you can become addicted to these things, I’m worried if I like them too much, i might start watching it at work 
stumbled!!
Pearl, Yes we get addicted to them very soon. We should always have separate time for each thing and do it at that time else it will become tough. What if you are caught watching TV in your work by your boss
Thanks for the stumble 
I have used Sopcast before . Will give these a try .
Madhur, Thanks for your comment.
I will have to try Sopcast.
Nice list
Definitely going to use it
Hartati, Do try these and tell us how it is
How does these TV channels perfom in 256Kbps internet connection?
Thanks Shankar, I did not watch any tv programs since I arrive here. Lack of time and lot of works kick me out from those things. Anyway, I’m going to try out!
@Shivaranjan: Unless you have a bit of a high speed connection, it’s not going to be that good watching them, I guess.
@Myo Kyaw Htun: Welcome, hope you get some free time to try these out
Seems to be great list and worth trying! I previously tried few internet tv player before and was not happy with the clarity! On other hand P2P player did a good job!
@Benedict: Glad that it’s working for you.

What are your reasons for not including Joost and Bablegum?
Can I get some online TAMIL FM RADIOS
