SopCast is an easy to use, free broadcasting technology that allows users to listen to different streaming media at any time. Using peer to peer technology (P2P), SopCast connects users and streamers together in order to seamlessly provide all forms of radio, television, movie, and media to the requestor.

Unlike other streaming services, SopCast isn't single purpose in nature. Rather, this simple software allows users to stream virtually any TV program in the world as long as a valid server address exists. News, music, and media are all available completely for free.

Additionally, if you're attempting to access a restricted channel in your country, SopCast can easily skirt past censoring technology with ease.

Through employing peer to peer technology, the user doesn't have to have the newest or most robust machine to access media. Users also have the option to broadcast their own content through filling out source information, program name, server address, and account information.

SopCast is fully integrated with Windows Media Player, automatically entering full screen mode and adjusting the resolution of the media to your device. Users are able to create lists of their favorite shows, channels, and content in order to more easily access it next time they use the service.

Though SopCast is easily to use, users should be aware that they have to create an account. The software is completely free yet supported by advertisers, which means that third party ad-based software will have to be installed on your machine. It's recommended that users install browser-based ad blocking technology in order to avoid the app's potential browser changes.

All in all, SopCast is easy to install, set up, and use to view nearly any media freely broadcasted around the world. Users just need to be careful while installing the service since it could cause unwanted changes in the default browser application.
