New LiveStation 3.0 release

After 8 months of hard work since the last release, I am glad to announce the launch of Livestation version 3.0, the latest desktop software for watching live news channels on your computer.

The latest release, available to download free of charge here, includes new functionality which we haven’t seen anywhere else.

Tweet what you are watching
You can now use Livestation as a native Twitter client so you can follow your friends and post your tweets directly under the video window without having to switch applications. But more interestingly, you can screen grab what you are watching with a handy button and have the screenshot posted with your Twitter update in one easy click. This is an example: http://twitpic.com/prled

Multiview
As the player is to all extents a multi-protocol and cross-platform video player, they thought it would be quite cool to be able to watch more than one channel at once. So, with Livestation 3.0 you can now do that by simply clicking on the + icon available next to each channel. It’s quite simple and here’s a screen shot http://twitpic.com/qf5bg/full

Pro
The Livestation team have also created a pro version of the player which viewers can purchase for a one off price of £14.99. Livestation Pro 3.0 has no ads, unlimited Multiview and more importantly all the partner channels are delivered via a dedicated, high performance data network for maximum reliability and for a better viewing experience. Here’s a more in depth description: http://www.livestation.com/pro

Premium Channels
The new player also supports premium channels which viewers can purchase on a subscription basis. Premium channels are delivered in 3 different qualities for maximum flexibility: low or ‘internet cafe’ mode, medium for every day watching and high for standard definition and plasma viewing (adaptive bitrates coming very soon too). Al Jazeera English was the first channel to go premium on our platform with more high profile international channels to follow soon.

As always, you can find out more about Livestation at www.livestation.com or get in touch with me directly.
