Watching TV On My Computer

So you've heard you can watch satellite TV on your computer for free huh? Well let me just say, there is NO free lunch in this world! So just get the idea out of your head. Nothing is free. That said there is a software out there that will enable you to watch all the channels your cable or dish provider offers legally and without a monthly service charge. But you have to pay for the software of course.

So the good news is the technology does exist. The bad news is it's not free. But the bad newes isn't really that bad for two reasons. First I don't really think you believed you could get a free anything anymore, did you? Secondly and more importantly the software is so cheap compared to what you get, after you download it and experience it for yourself, you'll agree you'd be willing to pay ten times what it costs.

So what is it, where can you get it, and how much does it cost? Like I mentioned before, it is a software program called Satellite TV For PC. Apparently a group of brainiaks from MIT or IBM or the like, locked themselves in a room for about three years until they developed this groundbreaking software. What is does is access "Free To Air" TV and radio signals via the internet. It is completely legal, there are no federal of FCC laws against this and quite frankly I don't see how there ever could be. What they're doing is capturing Free To Air signals just like you would if you wnet to NBC.com or Fox.com and watched a sitcom or news program from their site for free via the internet. This software just packages all the free to air content in a consice easy to download and install program. I have included a link to them at the bottom of this page. I wish I thought of it, but isn't that always the way, you see some great new product that is so simple and obvious that you smack your hand on your head and say "Why didn't I think of that!" Well at least we get to benefit from it, if we can't get rich from it we can at least save a ton of cash by not having to pay a cable or dish provider for their crappy packages.

Now be carefull, searching for free satellite TV in the internet can lead to alot of scams. There is only one right now that I know of (just like there was only one Vonage at one time) and I will link to it at the bottom of this article. There are a few packages to choose from, randing from 1000 channels to over 3000 channels, the most expansive package is around $100. All you need is a computer with a good internet connection, some external speakers and the software which you can download and install in less that an hour and your off! No more cable bills!! Being that the technology is new and only about 1 million people worldwide have it, I wouldn't expect the price to stay where it is for long so...
