The website (www.soltrago.com)
The website is a massive web directory of Television Channels, Radio stations and Webcams that stream online. The main difference between this website and other media streaming websites is that on soltrago.com you have access not only to TV channels, or only to radio stations or to webcams, but you have access to all three at the same time. Soltrago is like a remote control. You have everything you need right on the first page. Nowadays, this is a very good thing because on the most of the media directories or websites, in order to watch a channel or to listen to a radio you need to go through many pages which is confusing and annoying. Another positive characteristic is that all media streams (TV channels, Radio Stations and webcams) that are listed on soltrago.com are classified according to their country of origin (and territories)
Streams are classified into 245 countries and regions (there are listed also some unrecognizable states like Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Palestine, etc).
According to their genre, the media streams (TV channels, Radio Stations and webcams) are classified into 19 genres News, Business, Movies, Science Fiction, Detective, Reality, Entertainment, Drama, Science, Sport, Music, Weather, Games, Kids, Lifestyle, Religious, Shopping, Government and Miscellaneous.
Another good characteristic is that Soltrago.com has a huge database of more than 3000 TV channels, 7000 Radio stations and almost 1000 webcams
Among the positive characteristics, there are also some bad characteristics like:
Long load time - Due to massive media stream database (3000 TV channels, 7000 Radio stations and 1000 webcams) the website loads a little bit slow. Please note that only the first page loads slow (en.soltrago.com, de.soltrago.com, etc) but the other pages load pretty quickly. On a 512kb internet connection, the main page loads in ~ 30 seconds. But this should not be a problem because nowadays most of the people have fast internet connection. By fast I mean faster than a 1mb per second.
Grammatical mistakes - On the websites, mostly on pages in other languages than English, are some grammatical mistakes. Probably, the people from Soltrago did not have very qualified translators.
Web browsers errors - There are some minor browser errors, mostly occurring on old browsers.
Windows Media player dependence - Currently, on soltrago.com people can watch channels or listen to the radios only if they have Windows media player installed. This also should not be a problem because today, almost 95% of internet users use windows as a Operating System, on which Windows media player is installed by default.
