Internet TV Tuner for the Blind

Internet TV tuners are nothing new. There are tons of programs that claim to have the most stations, best interface and best performance for your computer. The truth is that most of these programs are totally useless by the blind and most of their links don't work.

I have found a program that does what it says. You truly can tune into over fifteen hundred internet TV stations and the links actually work. The program works well with JAWS and Window Eyes and is really fun to use.

JLC's Internet TV is a program for watching free online TV channels. It automatically finds over fifteen hundred channels and has an online updater to keep the channel list updated. This program is completely free of charge and is 100% accessible to people using screen readers and screen magnification programs.

Features:

  • Watch over fifteen hundred online TV channels for free!
  • User friendly interface with built-in channel list.
  • Channel updater which keeps your list synchronized with the list at World Wide Internet TV
  • Program updater automatically keeps your program up to date.
  • Powerful search function lets you easily find any channel.
  • Favorite list to keep a track of your favorite channels.
  • Absolutely NO spyware/adware or malware included!
Requirements:
  • Windows Media Player
  • Real Player or Real Alternative

Free Streaming TV Stations at FreeTube

When I heard about this site, I was hesitant. As I mentioned, I've seen free software that claims to get you access to free streaming television channels but the selection always tends to stink and the accessibility is even worse. However, unlike those software programs, FreeTube allows you to watch streaming TV stations with no software to install and no subscription is required. The selection of channels is really impressive. They have over 497 channels, including everything from the SciFi Channel to HGTV. Do they have everything you would find on Cable? No, but who can complain when it's free. The only technical requirement is that you have a web browser, and a few media players.
