More Video Toolbars and Sites

SATVOD, which was mentioned in earlier posts, is a toolbar which links to TV content uploaded elsewhere (YouTube, etc.), and lets you view it. SatVod might raise several problems:
* toolbars, as mentioned in the original article, are a hazard, and might be infected with adware
* some users have reported problems regarding the usage of SatVod - trying to uninstall doesn't always work, problems with upload, etc.

There are alternatives. It has several competitors. Some are toolbars, some are the sites from which SATVOD takes its content.
