What is Lookee TV?
Lookee TV is actually a Wi-Fi connected Internet TV and radio Player. This cutting edge technology allows you to enjoy over 1,000 TV channels and over 30,000 radio stations and podcasts throughout the world. There have been internet radios on the market but our products have added IP-TV functions! You can play any of those TV channels and radio stations collected and directed from our server. Think about this: Do you want to listen to the latest in World Music? Check your hometown sports TV station to get updates on your team or get local news while you are away from home? Or just explore and find your own new favorites in TV News? Well, Lookee TV is here for you!
These products work through a Wi-Fi Internet connection so that you can watch TV, listen to your radio or enjoy a picture slide-show anywhere in your home, away from your computer, without paying monthly subscriptions or yearly plans. No contracts, no kidding. Yes, you just need these products.
Lookee TV is not only an internet TV and Radio Player but also an excellent media Player for your local media files. Furthermore, you can also stream video, music and pictures from your home or office PC by universal plug & play protocols (or UPnP). All our models come with a TV-out function. That means you can enjoy all internet TV channels, radio stations, and podcasts on your home TV and turn a regular home TV to a real Internet TV. And UPnP streaming can let you play all multimedia content from your PC to your big screen.
Our technology and products allow partnering with any online video, music or photo sources, and we are working to increase the number of add-ons going forward. You will be able to stream even more movies, hit TV shows and music from featured online sources in the future.
Our products offer thousands of TV channels and music radio stations totally free of charge, but more than that: our technology and products allow partnering with any online media source for music, videos, photos, and podcasts as a fully functional Cloud-based Internet Media Player. And you will get all of these add-ons through online Firmware upgrades. By the way, we welcome all TV channels, movie, video, music and photo online suppliers to contact us for partnership. In facts, there are many opportunities for our new technology and products to meet expectations within your projects or business. Clients have already come to us for many applications, such as
Promoting online-broadcast TV channels for their local TV stations and music Web sites;
The creation of a new terminal to promote movie streaming services;
Licensing to play online TV series and shows on the portable device;
A project with cable companies who want their TV On-The-Go...
