I've been using TVTonic for some time as a way to automate downloading and watching my favorite video podcasts, most of which were already on the default guide to pick from. And even if they weren't, it was easy to add.

But this new version is so much better. It looks great, its more responsive, and there's more control over whats going on.

I also like the watch the Olympic games, and this makes it easy for me to catch whatever I missed. But if you're into watch video podcasts, for example the stuff on Revision 3, or The 1UP Show for the gamers here, or just so many other great vidcasts, this is the best way to download and watch them bar none.

My only gripe is that there is no Vista 64 support. As time goes on, I have less and less of a reason to stick to Vista 32bit, but if the only reason that remains is because of TVTonic, I'll gladly stay with 32bit just for this. Its that good. I can't live without it now.

You cared enough to post.

And besides, you're a Mac guy, you're supposed to be used to this.

I am just here to immaturely comment that I will be watching all of the women's volleyball as long as they still play in bikinis.

This app sucks!! It constantly locks up and I have to wait a couple of minutes before I can do anything. I'll wait it out because I'm an Olympics junkie but right now I hate it!
