Adobe Media Player: Adobe’s attempt to bring TV to Desktop
Tags: adobe, Internet TV, iptv | Added: 24 Apr, 2008 (797 Views)Adobe Media Player is a new Adobe Air application that aims to bring the TV to your desktop. Something very similar to the previously profiled Joost. Using Adobe Media Player, you can watch a number of popular TV programs from the convenience of your desktop, schedule and download your favorite episodes automatically, etc.
At the moment this service has about 25 channels, including CBS, Comedy Central (coming soon), MTV, PBS, Nickelodeon (coming soon) and Universal Music group. It’s quite likely that the number of channels will increase over time.
Media Player runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs, and the only requirement it has is Adobe Air. If you don’t have it already you will be prompted to get it while installing the Media Player.
