I Watch Cable TV on Computer - Over 4000 Channels Baby!

There are several companies that provide Internet TV software. It's best to do business with a company that is reputable, and offers great customer service. It usually takes about 30 minutes to download everything and begin watching satellite TV on your computer. But should you get stuck, it's good to be able to talk to a live person instead of a recording.

I purchased my software from PC for TV.com. It's excellent. It costs a one time fee of $49, After that, you will be able to download everything to your computer, and have unlimited access to 1000s of channels, and unlimited radio stations.

By the way, if a company tries to charge you more then a one time fee, I recommend you go elsewhere. The reason people are flocking to this service is so they can watch TV on their computer without having to pay for it.

Can you really watch television on your home computer? Is it true that you can view 1000s of cable stations on your PC for free? Yes and Yes! Some methods are free, some are not. Here are the facts about watching TV on your PC

Free Methods: Online TV streaming sites like ChannelChooser or WWITV actually allow you to watch TV on your computer for free. They also offer a pretty good selection of programming. Unfortunately, since they are free, no customer support is provided. And since so many people take advantage of their services, bandwidth is stretched to the max. This means downloads are slow, and picture quality poor.

Paid Methods: Some people have been know to purchase a pirated television card. You can pick one up on eBay for about $100. These are devices that intercept and un-encrypt the feeds from broadcasting stations. The downside here is that since TV providers are constantly on the lookout for such technology, new jamming and encryption codes are constantly being implemented. Therefore a television card's lifespan could be a few months at best.

The legal ways to watch TV on your PC are to use ether a PCTV card, or PC satellite TV software. The cards are plugged into a USB port on your computer or affixed to your motherboard. They will allow you to receive about 250 channels and will cost $300-$400.

Using PC Satellite software is the most popular way to watch television on your PC. It's a one time purchase of about $50, which makes it affordable to most people. The software lasts a lifetime and allows viewers to receive over 4000 channels worldwide. Users can also receive radio stations with PC satellite software.
