Once you install MiraWorldTV, you'll notice a new button open up next time you run Windows Media Center. Click on it and up will pop a screen filled with tiles representing television stations with online streams. You can click on a tile for more information or to start playing the video stream in the background or in fullscreen mode. You can sort channels by category, country, or you can save your favorites for easy access later.
The only problem is that the content is pretty bland for the most part. This isn't the developer's fault. MiraWebTV doesn't host any content. It just provides links to freely available internet streams. The most exciting channels we've found so far are the BBC World News, some Japanese pop music videos, and nature documentaries from the Discovery Channel. But if you're the sort of person who likes to complain that there's nothing worth watching on TV, MiraWorldTV can give you a few more things to watch... or complain about.

It would be pretty neat if you could just stream and watch certain TV channels that you wanted, via Media Center, instead of relying on cable & satellite bundled packages.
I would love an a la carte method, so I'm not overpaying for a bunch of extra channels I'll never watch. I'm hoping that's the future of TV one day.
