TVAnts is a client
which is pretty easy to use. Everyone can use it, it's fully in
English, buffering goes fast and easy and opening of channels is also a
piece of cake. It doesn't update it's versions that much, so you don't
need to update it regularly.
Release notes: The newest version of TVants is support Window Vista and Window Media Player 11, a few changes:

Channels: Many main
channels, even international ones but also Chinese, Japanese and
Korean. Ofcourse the sports channels like the Truesports, Guandong,
SHTV, CCTV5, Eurosport + Eurosport 2 and CableSoccer + CableSports. The
channellist changes much, be aware.
Instructions: Download TVAnts from 1 of the locations, and follow the installer closely. Then you're soon done.
Start TVANts, you can add servers but that isn't needed yet. Go to the
search Tab to load the channellist, when you click a channel it will
open in teh channels tab and you can see it's buffering. Click open to
open the player window, or click stop to stop it, start to start a
channel if it isn't running already. You can also lock a running
channel, go to modify and press lock channel status. You can't stop the
channel then unless you unlock it again.
In the charts tab you can see the upload and download speed,
Performance gives other info and events displays warnings, it's like a
logbook.
So after all this is easy to use.
Playing in Media Player: To
open TVANts in Mediaplayer: start the channel --> right mouse when
playing --> properties --> copy the location --> open url in
WMP and paste the location. This doesn't add much, the TVAnts player is
also pretty easy.
