TorrenTV is free, a very simple to use application, which allows you to stream live television to your Apple TV, while recording it on your PC or Mac. Mac, PC and Linux versions of the software are available. The software is very easy: once installed, all you need to do is click on the icon, accept the Terms of Service and then start streaming live TV to the Apple TV. The application does not require you to install additional hardware, so even a PC that is not connected to the internet can stream the programme for free.
TorrenTV requires an account to be set up. After you have logged in to the website, you need to go to " Settings" and then "Add Account". The application will ask you for your log in name, password and whether you want to use your MAC address or Google Webmail address as the username and password. After all the required information has been accepted, you will be asked to choose a mirror for the software. Choose the "piriform" download option and after the application has completed the transfer of the software to your MAC, your mirror will be displayed in the Firefox or Chrome browser. The software is compatible with most operating systems including Mac OS X, Windows 2021, XP and Vista.
On a related note, some of the TorrenTV staff were quick to point out that the application was not created or funded by any company in particular, but rather was created as a result of "common interest". This means that anyone, from anywhere can join and enjoy the service. However, the software is perfectly suitable for use by people who are computer literate with a basic knowledge of how to use the torrent client and the relevant protocols. Furthermore, it also includes support for other protocols such as the Bit Torrent client which is the more popular and successful of the two.
