Miro 1.0 Launches Today

The groundbreaking free and open-source internet TV application Miro launched version 1.0 today. The public release of Miro marks a major milestone for the application which has been growing rapidly during its beta period receiving more than 200,000 downloads per month.

"The future of Internet TV is too important to belong to one company. Internet TV needs to live atop something open and free, the way that the Web lives on top of the open and free Firefox browser. That's why Miro is licensed under the GPL, the gold standard in open/free licensing, meaning that anyone can take Miro and run with it, improve it, sell it, or give it away." said Cory Doctorow of boingboing.net and a PCF Board Member.

Miro includes a built-in guide listing more than 2,700 free channels of online video. Users can subscribe to any channel with a single click, can rate channels, and get recommendations. Like podcasting, once a user subscribes, new videos in each channel will be downloaded automatically. Miro boasts more HD content than any other online video tool.
