Other features that are helpful for someone who plans to record online TV are the variations in recording. First, if the automatic recording option is switched on, the streams will automatically be recorded as soon as the videos are being played online. You no longer have to exert an extra effort on setting some system configurations or clicking other buttons. It really records the streams directly. On the contrary, some programs offer the real time recording mode, which allows URL recording. If one knows the URL of the domain with the video streams to be recorded then the URLs can immediately be captured and saved when this mode is turned on.

There is also a scheduled recording that can be set beforehand, hence you can do all your other activities in your home or at work while leaving behind your personal computer to finish recording dozens of shows at different preset time intervals. The good thing about this recording option is that it can actually reconnect to the domain immediately if ever the connection will be lost.

In addition, you can also have the advantage of recording some content that require password authentication if you manage to select the correct software to record online TV. For some erroneous recordings you can also fix, edit and organize the recorded media way better if your program or software has a file reprocessing option. The best addition of some programs is the availability of both radio and TV web links embedded within the software. This can help the user to search for media files a lot easier and faster without browsing tons of web pages online.
