By Bridget Mwape
Did you know that you can watch TV on your personal computer for free? You
can even watch hundreds of digital satellite TV channels using software that is
available online. In fact, you do not need any additional hardware or a tuner
card in order to start watching TV on your pc. It's very easy and extremely
popular nowadays to watch TV over the internet. But if you want to watch some
serious TV shows, movies, programs and sports, you may need to purchase software
that will make it possible for you to watch satellite TV channels from around
the world.
Some providers will let you watch free-to–air channels for free and charge you
for other channels such as movie channels. But there is software that you can
download online that will let you access hundreds of TV channels including many
satellite TV channels.
If you have a high speed internet connection or broadband, you may have noticed
that you can watch video on many websites. On Google Video and YouTube, for
example, you can watch all sorts of videos and movies that are streamed to your
computer. Advancement in these and similar technologies has made it possible for
software developers to design programs which you can install on your home
computer that will instantly enable you to start watching TV. These types of
software will allow you to watch hundreds or even thousands of channels from
different parts of the world. In the past, you could only be able to get access
to some of the digital satellite TV channels if you had a subscription with one
of the providers. But now you can watch movies, TV programs, news, documentaries
and many other types of TV shows.
If you search for free digital satellite TV on any search engine such as Google,
you will find many websites offering to show you how to get free TV on your
computer. Some of these sites are not genuine because they may only offer you
one or two channels for free but then ask you to pay a monthly subscription fee
if you want to watch more channels. Also some of the software that is available
for free online is loaded with spy ware and other viruses that could bring your
pc to a halt and make it crash. You need to be careful when you download free
software online.
To get started, you need a very good broadband connection and a good pc. The pc
doesn't have to be top of the range but the better the pc the better the viewing
experience. TV channels require high bandwidth especially if you want very good
picture quality so a broadband connection is a must. If you prefer to watch TV
on your TV instead of your computer monitor then you'll need a pc with video
out. The video output will make it possible for you to connect your pc to your
TV so that you can watch the TV channels on your TV.
Some of the minimum requirements for you to watch TV or access digital satellite
TV channels on your pc include:
- Pentium II 333 MHz processor or above
- An operating system such as Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP etc.
- Sound card
- CD Rom drive for installing software/Software can also be downloaded direct
from the internet to your pc.
