Yesterday, after a long wait, the app appeared in the App Store iBroadcasting from Czech Television and certainly excited and delighted many users of the apple tablet.

And what is iBroadcasting like? Who read the article ČT4 Sport – Czech sports television in iPhone you may remember that I was quite critical of applications from Czech television. In the case of iVyšílaní, everything is different. The application is incredibly successful, I even dare to say that it is great.

The application is for both generations of iPad. Thanks to it, you can watch a lot of films, documentaries and series produced by Czech Television. However, you do not have the option to watch the live broadcast, but only the one that you can find in the iVysílání archive. There are currently 1750 days, 8 hours and 40 minutes of video content, with more hours counting.

Control is intuitive and simple. It is designed so that everyone can work with the application. Even my mother, who is a complete technical anti-talent and iVysílání on the computer makes it a real problem for her, immediately found a show on the iPad that she wanted to see. You can search for programs by title, genre and broadcast time. The stream is of sufficient quality, and the competing app Voyo can cower in a corner with envy. You can share videos with your friends on Facebook or via email. It's a shame that Czech TV didn't think about Twitter users.

I would like to mention two more small errors that I encountered during the short time of use. Unfortunately, if you're watching a video and switch to another app and come back, iVysílání doesn't remember the position. Another little thing that maybe bothers me is the fact that if you are watching a video, the status bar does not hide.

Anyway, the iBroadcasting app is a huge leap forward and it's really great. It is an example of how a multimedia application should look and function. And it adds another dimension to the iPad.
