PPLive: Free Movies In Streaming

One of most popular programmes to watch TV via internet is a chinese software  called PPLive, at present available only for Windows, whose 2.2.23 version has been recently released. This is the link to the English site

pplive

This software is supplied in 2 languages, Chinese and English, even if some texts such as the name of some channels are not translated from Chinese in the English version.

Many of the sport events in Italy are paid for, can be watched for free on the channels provided by PPLive as well as sport events of others countries.

These channels obviously have the broadcasting rights in their own geographical jurisdiction but, clearly enough, in internet borders and geography do not mean much. Thus, by sending the streaming signal in the network, everybody can follow these events.

How it works

The PPLive set up file has a size of 5 Mb; once installed the programme icon appears on Windows taskbar. By double-clicking it, a small interface is open, with the video on the left side and a list of channels, many of which with indecipherable names, on the right.

In order to open a channel, one has just to double-click on its name, wait for PPlive to connect to the streaming and preload, and the video will start.

We tested some of them and, honestly, have been struck by the image quality, considering that the signal is a streaming via internet and underlining anyway that, in order to get a satisfying image quality, it would be better to support a streaming of at least 300k, that is to have a good connection supported by a good modem.

Channels and events

Obviously many, most of the channels are Chinese or from East Asia, but some of them have the rights to broadcast events which here are charged and, anyway, also programmes in many other languages are provided.
