<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nI don’t have the most current Apple TV. \u00a0So I am unable to watch the new BitTorrent Live on that hardware. \u00a0But thankfully BitTorrent came out with a Mac application. \u00a0So when I saw the email that they had it up and running, I got on there right away. \u00a0And here’s what I found.<\/p>\n
The email I received gave me a link to download that Mac application. Once I did the download and the install stuff, the application popped up and gave me a link to go to for the signing up process.<\/p>\n
Once you have that activation code it tells you to go to btaccounts.com\/activate to register and do all that fun stuff.<\/p>\n Since I didn’t have a Sign-In yet I clicked on the “Need an account?” link and proceeded to create an account.<\/p>\n Once I put in my information and hit the Register button, I then was able to enter in my activation code.<\/p>\n Once your device has been activated, and you accept all the usual stuff, then it starts playing in the actual application that was opened earlier. But it makes me wonder, if it’s activating that specific device, if you have to go through the process of activating every device you want to watch it on. \u00a0For example, maybe you have a MacBook Air. \u00a0So does it give you a different activation code for that device? \u00a0I am assuming so, but I also haven’t tested that out either.<\/p>\n I knew going into this, that there wouldn’t be a lot of content available. \u00a0In fact at this time of writing all I saw was 15 channels to view. \u00a0That wasn’t that surprising to me. \u00a0I’m actually happy to see that they had that many. \u00a0But, the experience of using this application is a little bit herky jerky. Here’s the list.<\/p>\n AWE<\/a>: Formerly known as WealthTV, AWE is a 24\/7 network devoted to taking viewers on a journey of how wealth is achieved, used and enjoyed.<\/p>\n Clubbing TV<\/a>: \u00a0The official media partner of some of the planet\u2019s biggest electro festivals, Clubbing TV offers exclusive, quality electronic music content from artists and labels all around the globe embracing the entire the Dance Music lifestyle.<\/p>\n FAST&FUN<\/a> is a new Television Channel offering an action-packed, adrenaline-including medley of extreme sports, from car racing and motocross to snowboarding and skateboarding; a large variety of disciplines, shows and competitions from all over the world.<\/p>\n Fightbox<\/a>: From MMA and boxing to arm wrestling and sumo, Fightbox is a compilation of the finest combat sports from around the globe all on one channel.<\/p>\n Filmbox Arthouse<\/a>: Every month FilmBox Arthouse also airs special presentations devoted to a particular creative movement (German Expressionism, New Romanian Cinema) or individual filmmakers (The Surreal Art of Salvador Dali, Rossellini\u2019s War Trilogy, etc.)<\/p>\n Heroes TV<\/a>: Delivers what action, adventure fanatics want. \u00a0Heroes TV targets audiences with Multiple programming categories to offer the most comprehensive action, adventure line up on TV.<\/p>\n Newsmax:<\/a> Newsmax TV provides the latest news, expert views and live programming from your favorite TV hosts and A-list guests. (conservative programming)<\/p>\n NUsicTV<\/a>: \u00a0Delivers the finest new independent artists at the forefront of music in a linear broadcast, allowing viewers to discover the vanguard in music without having to search the internet.<\/p>\n OANN:<\/a> Features political analysis programming and political talk shows, along with network special documentary-style reports; its news coverage attempts to maintain objectivity while its political shows illustrate a stronger conservative lean.<\/p>\n One World Sports<\/a>: It features exclusive, live, world-class sporting events and premier matchups from around the world, with over 3,000 hours of unduplicated sports programming annually. Content focus is on live and same-day action of league, championship and qualification competitions in soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, table tennis, badminton, darts, and more.<\/p>\n OpenNews TV<\/a>: OpenNews TV brings you live video talk shows from the best progressive talk radio personalities.<\/p>\n Pursuit Channel<\/a>: Pursuit Channel is a television network that airs programming geared to hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n TWiT<\/a>: The TWiT.tv Netcast Network with Leo Laporte features the #1 ranked technology podcast This Week in Tech, along with over 20 other top-ranked online shows.<\/p>\n It isn’t difficult to see the channels that are available. \u00a0You just move your mouse to the bottom of the application and the channels come up in an animation that moves from bottom to top of the application. \u00a0That’s all fine and dandy. \u00a0And it’s a nice touch that you can see a little of the video playing in the background. \u00a0So the channel list is slightly opaque.<\/p>\n I had a very hard time navigating through the channels with my mouse. \u00a0This is part of that herky jerky thing I spoke about earlier. \u00a0I would scroll down on my mouse and nothing would happen. \u00a0But, when I scrolled up, then it would go to the “second page” of the channel list. \u00a0Just ass backwards there. \u00a0It was so frustrating in fact, that I just used the keyboard arrows to do the navigating.<\/p>\n When you do click on a channel, you get the funky “loading” screen. \u00a0For lack of a better term.<\/p>\n![\"Activation](\"https:\/\/byrondoss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Voila_Capture-2016-07-22_07-52-39_AM.png\")
