The Your Television Center is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation may require users to agree to have their default new tab page changed to a search engine linked to the Safer Browser line of low-quality search engines. Some of the URLs that the Your Television Center may set as the default new tab page of its users are free and include Yourtelevisioncenter.com and search.yourtelevisioncenter.com. Both of these websites are safe to use, and their search features are functioning as expected. However, users who wish to keep using the Your Television Center should keep in mind that the search results provided by 3rd-party search engines may not be as reliable as the ones provided by Google, Bing, Yahoo, or other top providers of Web search services.

The Your Television Center software is advertised as a helpful browser utility that allows users to watch online TV channels directly from their Web browser. The software is free and users who install it will be able to watch particular TV channels on the Web. However, the Your Television Center does not host the online streams and, instead, the extension simply borrows TV streams hosted on other websites or services. In short, all that the Your Television Center has to offer can be accessed by simply finding an appropriate page that streams TV channels.

The Your Television Center can provide users with some valuable features, but the fact that this extension may change the Web browser's default new tab page forcefully is a good reason to reconsider if you want this software on your computer. Since the Your Television Center is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program, its removal is a good idea. The Your Television Center software can be uninstalled from the list of installed browser extensions, or it can be erased with the assistance of a reliable anti-malware scanner.
