Normally, when we talk about the P2P protocol, the first thought that comes to users' minds has to do with programs for downloading or sharing content and files between a given network of users. However, we must also remember that this technology can be used for other purposes, such as watching television on our computers quickly and easily.

This is precisely the case of the application we will analyze today: Livestation, one about which we must say that it is a different way of watching television because it will take us into a world of social interaction with this medium. This software distributes the television signal through this P2P network that we have mentioned, getting the content, when duplicated, to reach the users in better quality.

That is to say, as each of the network members will be feeding from the others, the programming that we can watch, thanks to Livestation, has a much higher definition than that offered by other applications designed to watch television. If you are tired of streaming TV content systems that are seen with lines or choppy, you have to know that thanks to this platform, you can leave behind all those problems.

Beyond this, we are mentioning you should not lose sight of the fact that Livestation works thanks to the use of Silverlight from Microsoft, so a world-class company somehow sponsors it. This, coupled with the years it has been around, is the peace of mind we need to enjoy a TV streaming utility that is above average.

Suppose we add to that the fact that thanks to its experience in this segment, Livestation has the sponsorship of some of the big TV networks worldwide, such as BBC News, Al Jazeera, or Euronews. In that case, you can be sure that you will have access to much of the TV content you are interested in. All you have to do in these cases is select the channel you are interested in, and when it loads, start watching it.

What if the channel I want to watch is not part of the Livestation list? Then you don't have to worry because this platform allows users to add any new channel they want for others to watch. To do so, you must go to the service's official website, select the channel in question, and click on it to add it to the available options.

But suppose one aspect makes this application stand out from other TV content streaming applications. In that case, we have to talk specifically about its social section, which allows us to chat with other users while watching TV. Just as you hear it, Livestation has a perfect function to comment on the content we are watching via streaming with other users to analyze our opinions and so on.

To name some of the most searched channels by users of this software right now, we can point out the following: KissTV, HumorTV, BBC News, Warner Bros Classic Cartoons, TMV, ALL Music, Sky News, Fox & USA, or CNN.

What do we think of Livestation's interface? A really good one, because it is well done with its black backgrounds and the channels' logos that allow us to know all the programs we can watch live or recorded. When an application offers us a successful visual aspect and is functional for our tasks, we have a proposal as interesting as this one.

If we had to highlight the main positive aspects of this application, we would have to highlight that the image and sound quality are very good, something basic for this kind of program. In addition, remember that we can add our channels in case they are not part of their lists, and do not lose sight of the fact that you can chat with other users about the content you see.

And what did we like the least about Livestation? Firstly, some channels that other users have added do not work and are not removed from the lists, so that we can be disappointed. Secondly, you will see that there are few channels in other languages within the original lists, so it is likely that if you want to listen to something in this language, you will have to add the channel manually.

We are confident that Livestation is one of the best applications to watch TV content on the computer available today, especially considering that its transmission quality is well above average, thanks to the use of P2P-type networks. Even with them, we know that the more users watch the same as you, the better the program will look.
