Hi there,
I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of NeverMiss.TV, an application that allows you watch internet TV on your TV!
This is my pet project that I created to try and get all the catchup tv content available on the internet into one place that I (plus my wife) could easily watch in the lounge on the big tv. Since getting it into a working state I've watched more catchup tv then ever!
It pulls content (updated when you start the app) from all the main UK sources so you get 17 channels: BBC iPlayer (1-4, CBBC, CBeebies, News, Sport, Parliament, HD & Alba), ITV Player (1-4), 4 on Demand & Demand Five.
It also integrates with the great service from TVCatchup.com so you can watch 40 free view channels.
You have to register with Demand Five & TVCatchup.com & put your details in the settings page so you can access their content. You also have to explictly check the boxes on the settings page to allow you view adult content.
I do not re-encode or restream any of the content, therefore all adverts put in place by ITV, 4oD, Demand 5 & TVCatchup are still there.
The application is really a webbrowser for internet video, it simply creates an easily navigated program guide and lets you play the video direct from the content providers website but in a more TV (& family) friendly manner.
It integrates with Windows Media Center (go to the settings screen to install) but can also run standalone & uses the Media Center Remote Control (even when not in WMC).
You move around the app using the mouse, keyboard or standard Windows Media Center remote control. Typically all that is needed to navigate the application is move, select & back (up/down/left/right, remote select/enter/play/mouse click & back/backspace).
When playing, the video goes into fullscreen automatically. You can then pause & replay using the play/pause button on the remote. If using just the keyboard or mouse you'll need to hit escape or double click to exit fullscreen. You can then use the P key to play/pause and the F key to go fullscreen. For those with a remote the next track button (looks like >|) toggles in & out of fullscreen mode.
And you can download the app directly at: http://nevermiss.tv/app/setup.msi.
I've got a ton of ideas to improve the application but I wanted to get this version out into public beta for people to play with, I hope you enjoy it.
I've also enclosed a few pictures. Let me know what you think.
