Although there's the usual spate of shopping and religious channels, there's also a lot of quality content including BBC News 24, Aljazeera, BBC Parliament, Bloomberg, MTV, CNN… the list goes on and on.
The London based company claims channels are regularly monitored for stream availability and quality, and I've certainly found picture very good.
All the website does it pull together IPTV streams that are available on individual websites; viewmy.tv even provides the individual channel urls it uses, along with some basic HTML code so you can embed each individual channel into your own website. Most channels are formatted in Windows Media Video 9 codec at 300-700kbits/sec and should be viewable on handheld devices.
The site launched some months ago and remains as a 'beta' site. The company states: "Zero ad clutter and the absence of annoying banners and text ads means that the site not only looks sophisticated, but is straightforward and easy to navigate, a quality that attracts visitors to the site and encourages them to register."
Trying to be a social networking site is probably a step to far, but it's an excellent progression for IPTV - maybe it could be integrated into set-top boxes, like the Evesham iPlayer, so non-tech heads can enjoy TV from around the world.
