Democracy released version 0.9.2 today, and it's actually usable. Previous versions were running rampant with memory leaks, freezing, and horribly slow. While the new version is slightly sluggish, it's a 100% improvement. Switching between different channels now only lags for about a half second, compared to hardly working before.

If you've never tried Democracy, now is the time to do it. It plays most video extensions you can think of including my favorite; Quicktime files. You can even download and play videos from major video websites like YouTube, Google Video, and Yahoo Video. You can subscribe to video RSS feeds and podcasts and watch them with the same program. It also has a built in bittorrent client. Why use a T.V, when you can use Democracy? Best of all it's free and opensource, and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
