Is there a desktop application that is able to browse and play online TV channels (similar to browser extensions like chrome tv)? I found democracy player, but there are no channels. The application should support many channels from all over the world and be able to choose by categories or countries.

The best player I've seen is Miro player. It can play from a lot of sources, torrents, podcasts and feeds. You can browse from thousands of chanels directly from Miro or from their website, so far all popular channels I've seen are there.

Watch their presentation at getmiro.com

You can install it from the ubuntu software center.

good luck!

Sopcast is the tool for watching TV online for free. This software is assessed that it can download video quickly and pick up some radio stations. However, novice users may feel like a fish out of water. The following tutorial will help users watch TV on Sopcast easily.

There is an application called sopcast, but it is a bit of trouble to set up. I also unfortunately do not have instructions off hand (as I removed it from my system).

There's also gPodder (best obtained from the gPodder PPA) in connection with gpodder.net. I have used miro for a while and in the end abandoned it because it was simply too slow. gPodder is for feeds only though, so no streams here.
