Why we love it
While you'll need to spend just a bit, TWiT on TV is worth it. The live chat overlay is fun and adds new level of community to the network. It's also great to be able to choose a stream quality for recorded shows. When live, the app will use an adaptive bitrate to deliver the highest quality video.
