SopCast

View several television channels while broadcasting your own shows with SopCast.

This is a fun media program that lets you view various TV channels while you're online. It's ideal for those who aren't at home that much and want to see a show or want to watch a movie while at work or on vacation. You can usually watch shows on any device as long as there is an internet connection, but the quality of the show might not be that great on a phone unless you have a larger screen.

When you share your broadcast with a small audience, it doesn't take as long to get your videos online, and you don't need a large server. The shows that you can view with the program might not all be the ones that you see on the TV in your home, but there are some good shows that are worthy of using the software, such as dramas and shows that children might enjoy.

There isn't a lot of detail with the program, so it doesn't take a long time to install on your system. You have to make an account in order to view the channels, but once you see how many channels are available, you'll be surprised. It's like a personal television on your desktop, so that you can see what you want while you're getting work done in the office or while you're chatting with others online.

Some of the channels are organized in a way that make sense while others are simply there to be discovered. You'll see channels from other countries and some that are from the United States, such as Discovery. When you broadcast your own channel, you'll see that it's a fun program to use as it gives you a way to advertise for a company or make fun videos with family and friends.
