What OnlineTV is
OnlineTV brings freely accessible television streams, media libraries, radio, music TV, podcasts, audiobooks, webcams, newspapers and weather into one application. The maker says its catalogue includes over 300 television channels and is continuously maintained. A programme guide shows current and upcoming broadcasts when schedule data is supplied. Users can pause live TV, rewind up to 60 minutes depending on settings, record programmes and schedule recordings. Favourites, channel and menu ordering, hidden countries, tile or list layouts, and light or dark mode provide personalisation. Network playback and subtitle support are listed. OnlineTV runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. It is paid software with a one-time licence, no free plan and a three-day trial. Licences cover one, three or five devices for one, two or three years and do not renew automatically. Listed prices range from €29.99 a year for one device and one year to €129.99 a year for five devices and three years. The app provides no content and does not bypass restrictions or paywalls.
