Overview:

The DEMO for Skobos is lmited only by the amount of availiable channels. The current DEMO is configured with 12 channels while the purchased version currently has 175 channels (Variety, Music, News, Sports, Education, and World). The software has been in development for the past few years (beginning with the Widget Television VF1 through VF3) and is now a stand-a-lone package. The television programming design of Skobos, was written in its entirety in Applescript using Apple's Xcode environment, Applescript Studio. The program's (currently 175 channels) viewing capabilities relies on the user's installation of the top three (free) video players, available over the Internet. The channels are encoded using one of several technologies and then are broadcast over the Internet using specific video codecs. Skobos is designed completely with the end-user in mind. From the ease of channel selection, volume control, and full-screen viewing, to the ability to set window coloring, favorites, channel voting, and instant messaging, Skobos will fast become a program favorite for any user.
