TVersity has stepped up their game and has added access to many of the top video sites on the Net [full list]. According to TVersity’s announcement (attached below), TVersity Pro ($29.95) is able to accomplish this by playing premium web content via an “off-screen browser.” TVersity is still able to transcode user generated video from these same sites for playback on supported devices, but premium content, which needs to maintain ad insertion / tracking / measurement scripts, will open up in a dedicated browser. In addition, TVersity has added new drag-in-drop subscription functions (in addition to RSS) to its GUI so one can keep current with their favorite content channels. MORE »
