FlashTV is the name of a new type of application that allows users to access free-to-air (FTA) television from their PCs and mobile phones via the internet. A FlashTV application can be used on a variety of web browsers and is primarily designed for the Mac OS X platform. The application can also work with Windows but is often found to run best with the latter due to its compatibility with many popular video players. A FlashTV application can usually be downloaded and installed with little or no effort on the part of the user. The program works exactly the same way as the normal Flash player on a computer or television, using the format of media files that are located on the user's hard drive and/or online.
One of the primary uses of FlashTV is with the Android platform. Since the introduction of the android operating system in 2021, there has been an increasing tendency for users to use their mobile phones and tablets as additional computers. While it is possible to connect your android devices to a computer through a USB port, most users will want to use the internet provided on the android device in order to view television. As such many android users would prefer to watch their favorite television shows or even live events (such as games) that are played on a computer instead. With the use of a FlashTV application, this can easily happen.
FlashTV offers a number of advantages over other common software and programs that are designed for watching television through your android device. First, FlashTV is written in C++, which means that it is portable (the application can be run on any android device regardless of its memory size) and free of programming languages that may have different syntaxes. Second, FlashTV can use a Java interface, which makes the programming experience much easier on most users. Lastly, FlashTV allows the use of both streams and downloaded content, allowing a user to combine the two into one application that is easy to use and provides a wide variety of viewing options.
