Livestation Gets Released for Mac

Posted by kubes on August 26, 2008

Okay, lately I have been railing against Robbers (Rogers) Cable to my friends and recently returned my 8300HD PVR while cutting my cable cord all together.  I have been dabbling in OTA (Over the Air) indoor antennas only to opt for a Channel Master 4228 (outdoor antenna) which will be installed on my roof tomorrow.  I will be posting the results and my OTA experiments soon.  Long story short I am not missing much from Rogers Cable except my fill of news programming.  I am a bit of a news junkie.  It was great to discover today that Livestation a free program that enables live tv streaming of CNN, Al Jazeera English, BBC World News and others has finally released a Mac player.  You can also add your own web stream or choose one that another viewer has added.  It is definitely not High Definition quality but it is watchable and a great new addition to my cable free home theatre environment.  You can download it here.  What are your thoughts about Livestation?  Post your them in the comments section.
