Chrome TV extensions page had some useful support information but no configuration options to speak of. Clicking the Chrome TV icon opened a window displaying two listing, Countries and Categories. Nearly every country in the world is represented, though not every station is always online.

Chrome TV can filter the selection to show only stations that are always online, though. The categories range from the usual news, weather, and educational programs to movies, religion, business, government, kids, and more.

The TV plug in is Windows compatible.
