iStreamGate For Mac

Television has been part of your lives since the beginning of the twentieth century and is still between the main sources of news or entertainment and a powerful advertising channel. And since we now have to carefully balance our free time between various activities it would be nice if we could watch TV while we work from your Mac.

Thanks to iStreamGate you can watch various TV channels on your Mac over your home network if you own an Enigma 2 powered Set-Top-Box. The lightweight application can be bought, downloaded and installed on your Mac via the Mac App Store for less than $2.

iStreamGate comes with a user-friendly interface very similar to the popular iTunes multimedia manager and music player. As a result, you can play, pause and adjust the sound volume of the TV stream. You can also fast forward or rewind recordings and change the subtitle or audio track with just a few mouse clicks.

The name and other relevant information about the TV show you are currently watching is displayed in the top toolbar thanks to the Electronic program guide feature. Thus, you can view broadcast programming and scheduling information not only for the current show but also for upcoming programs.

What is more  iStreamGate features a full screen mode and support for the Apple Remote. As a result, you can use your Mac as a TV, watch your favorite TV shows and control the player from your couch.
