I've written before about the joys of streaming video, but some have written saying they want to know how to get cable TV on their computers. And it's totally possible - in a way - with a new program that handles some 4000 streaming video channels which makes TV watching on your PC, a breeze. Just imagine the fun you can have surfing that many channels in hundreds of countries?! Let's dig in.
I thought it would be extremely hard to find a place that would have a ton of free satellite TV channels I could watch on my PC. As it turns out, after my investigation, there are very good programs on the market as of 2008 that allow you to watch some 4,000 streaming video channels from your computer. Windows is the only option although the software works with a Windows emulator for Mac. But what is this program?
Having worked over 15 years in the radio and television business, about half of that in engineering, I can tell you that this technology has come a long way. The software industry is so exciting because as fast as an idea is born, the technology to make it happen quickly follows. It's no wonder I could find a program that would allow me to watch thousands of satellite TV channels right on my PC. I wondered if it were totally safe?
Since there are numerous programs claiming to do the same thing - the satellite TV to PC idea - I had to quickly find out the differences. Mainly, I found, is in the amount of channels available. The higher end programs have literally more channels that I could ever watch in a year - up to 4,000. But something that caught my interest is that there are some knock-offs that actually have Trojan viruses in them. And how can you be sure to get a safe one?
And it's good to know that it's only software that you install - very simply I must add. There is no other hardware required, no TV cards, no cables. It is all done through the Internet and every modern computer has the processing power to watch cable TV on their computer. So it's very convenient.
The software to run cable TV on your computer is backed by a money-back guarantee. And that's great because if you find that you cannot install it or it doesn't work like you thought, you simply ask for your money back - up to 90 days from the vendors we checked with. Support is also available for this product.
So here's a few things you can do with your satellite TV for PC software - have a sports party and watch the best game, give the software as a gift, get this for your mom and dad or loved one who is far from their home country as it picks up hundreds of countries as well. But before technology changes on us again I would make to get one as soon as possible. You can currently get these channels for free.
The time is here, the technology is here, and video is here to stay. But this program with the one-time fee may change. In fact this is probably the best time to buy this because we did see some companies starting to charge monthly fees for the service. The particular programs we looked at did not at the time of this writing.
