Internet TV Arrives (for Mac users) with DTV 76
luigi6699 writes "The fine folks at Downhill Battle just released a Beta of their Internet TV software for Mac OS X, called DTV. Mac users can download it now. It's totally free and open-source. The Windows version and full DTV launch is coming in just a few weeks...
DTV is an Internet TV player: you can browse the built-in Channel Guide and subscribe to dozens of channels. Watch full-screen: music videos, documentaries, video blogs and more.
You can submit your channels to their open Channel Guide, or make your own channel with Broadcast Machine. And you don't need to be a videomaker to have your own channel -- use Broadcast Machine to link to videos from all over the place. Check out this latest iteration of the read/write web!"

It's also possible that they wanted to get a small sampling of the kind of activity they'd expect - releasing it Mac-only for now would allow them to gauge interest, and prepare for the bandwidth onslaught that will occur when the Windows version is released... maybe?

We get everything first, what are you talking about? Word, Excel, Photoshop--all on the Mac first. Mouse, USB, floppy drive, CD Rom, Firewire--all first commonly used on the Mac.
