Open Source, Open Standards, works on Mac, PC and Linux, features galore and more on the way - very impressive...

It is NOT satellite TV for your PC, but it is damn close! Some satellite channels and programs are available

With hundreds of channels to choose from (and more added all the time), as well as the ability to get videos from major sites like YouTube, Yahoo!, Google Video, Blip, and more, you will not be left wanting for things to watch.

What is Miro?

Quite simply, Miro is a free application for channels of internet video (also known as 'video podcasts and video rss). Miro is designed to be easy to use and to give you an elegant fullscreen viewing experience.

There are thousands of free internet video channels that you can watch. You'll be able to download all the videos that each channel offers and when new ones are released, Miro will grab them automatically.

Unlike tiny videos on websites like YouTube, Miro videos are usually very high quality and look great when watched full screen. Since Miro downloads videos completely before you watch, your videos will never skip or stutter while they are playing. Miro can play MPEG, Quicktime, AVI, H.264, Divx, Windows Media, Flash Video, and almost every other major video format!

Miro is more than just a software program, it's an active effort to build a more open and democratic media. Miro is created by a non-profit organization, the Participatory Culture Foundation. The software is free, open-source, and designed to give everyone a voice.

The channel selection is huge and growing - my current favs are HubbleCast, popSiren, TED and GeekBrief.TV. Well worth the time to download, install - and enjoy!
