RecordTV.com - Singapore's own Hulu?

Earlier back in August, I read on the Digital Life section of The Straits Time that RecordTV allow users to record Singapore local free to air television programmes.

I have started using the website since then and am very pleased with it. It is not hard to notice that the service provided by RecordTV is very similar to the XinMSN catchup TV.

So why bother using RecordTV when you can use the matured XinMSN catchup TV?

1. A larger variety of TV programmes can be recorded and watched online, these programmes includes overseas TV series such as Alcatraz, Vampire Dairies, Survivor and even movies such as The Game Plan.


2. A better web user interface that shows the TV listing that can be recorded for the day, sorted by channels.


3. Ability to record from Channel News Asia and also various news broadcast from other available channels.


4. Ability to stream recorded programmes from mobile devices running on Android or iOS.


5. Shorter waiting time for the availability of the recording.

Nonetheless, there are some drawbacks.

TV programmes recorded will only be available for a period of 9 days, the video quality of the recordings are inferior compared to those offered by XinMSN and could cause eye cancer if you attempt to view it full screen on a 23" LCD!

This service is highly recommended for those who wish to watch the programmes that they have missed on their mobile devices while commuting.
