Rubbish. Doesn't work properly and no support, even if you pay.
Works fine here, problem must be at your end (-:
I found their forum very helpful when I had problems.

Works perfectly for me and has done for years
I found their forum utterly useless.
What I want to be able to do is use the various online services like iPlayer, Hulu etc with appropriate VPNs but via a media centre extender, since I currently have no computer with a non-hdmi TV out. Problem is, many of the vids on iPlayer are in the wrong format(yes I know there's an iPlayer MCE plugin as well as TunerFree), and Hulu won't work at all through MCE. And none of the other UK TV ones work either.
So in theory, Tversity will transcode to a format that my MCE will show, and it'll all be fine. Except it won't do it. No error messages, nothing, just a black screen and a hammered processor. If I am lucky I get the 'click here to play' screen but only once did this ever respond to anything I did. On that happy but short lived occasion it played in awful quality for about two minutes then stopped.
Then there's stuff like the user interface to WMC being ropey; the fact that if you open their GUI and close it, you can't open it again - you have to use task manager to hunt and kill; and then there's the typical variety of different ways it can crash or continue hammering your machine long after you've given up trying to watch anything.
I've not managed to make it do anything I couldn't already do - but then I haven't tried that hard.
I installed it thinking (and without researching properly), that I would be able to stream videos from the internet to my XBox - it doesn't seem to do that unless I d/l them first.
It should do. If they are available for streaming.
To be honest,
Yes, you're right. I think TVersity rocks for streaming of downloaded media. I've never had any real runaway success with streaming streams.
Stuff like iPlayer is DRM-protected and transcoding anything with DRM in it kicks seven shades out of the elderly PC I'm running it on. Internet radio sort of works, but it's such a lottery getting the right URL and even then half the time it seems to stick about two minutes on loop.
But yeah. For stuff you've already downloaded, fantastic.
Never had any issues with it.
Streamed everything to my 360 when I used it as well
Don't you have a PS3 why not use iplayer on that?
I was expecting it to cane the PC, that's not the issue. It just doesn't do anything.
Drac, I do have a PS3, just not with me. And I want to watch more than just iPlayer hence the messing about.
