Show IH: Wave TV - Free Television Channels

Hello Everyone!

I am launching my new product called Wave TV today. Wave TV is television for the age of the internet. It retrieves the internet's best, most recent content and sorts it into channels for you to enjoy. Videos play one after another, much like traditional television. The best part? It's all free. I would appreciate any feedback that this community could give me.

    I'm not sure I understand what this is.

    Here's my assumptions from the landing page before I have signed up.

    1. There will be some sort of page where I select my interests
    2. You will start showing random videos from those categories (from YouTube?)

    There's a lot of bad or boring content out there. Am I going to get video after video of some 8 year old's "TOP 10 ANIME BETRAYALS" when I say that I like action movies?

      I've signed up now. Overall the design feels pretty amateurish but that's alright for now. Definitely something to put more time.

      I was right that the videos are coming from YouTube but I was wrong that I would select my interests. I can choose a category though and that's good.

      I suppose it's interesting to have on my third monitor as background noise. I didn't love the content presented to me but that's the risk of TV, my real television has the same problem.

      Good start and I think if you put more time into the design you'll do well. This could be useful for places like airport lounges, pubs and bars and, hospitals where they are looking for some miscellaneous content. I do think some of these places are paid to show certain channels so that might be a hard market to get into.

      A nice secondary feature in the "news" section is that users can get news from a range of sources rather than just watching a single channel like Fox News.

        Thanks for your Input! I have already begun work on a v2 that has a much improved design. The News Channel does pull from multiple news sources, it’s just that Fox News posts more than the other stations.

          I have actually been working on a new interface, and I would appreciate your feedback: https://beta.wavetv.co
