Passive entertainment with Democracy TV
When it comes to bandwidth eaters, there's one kid on the block that will have you biting off more than you can chew – especially in South Africa. Its fun. Its addictive. Its open source. Its Democracy TV.
At its heart, Democracy TV is a video player and web browser rolled into one. You can use it to organise and watch your existing videos on your computer, or you can browse hundreds of independent internet "channels" that broadcast video over the web. While that seems like a simple concept, in reality it gives voice to independent movie makers who want to be heard, without access to traditional broadcast mediums.
It also gives the user more control over what he watches, and when. In the same way that portable MP3 players, such as the iPod, untethered us from radio, projects like Democracy TV break our bond with traditional television, controlled by a few networks.
One of the coolest features is the "channel guide."
