New Hot Secret Of Watching Satellite TV On Your PC

I was just reading in a business magazine the other day that cable TV is now losing market to satellite TV. People are willing to pay as high as $100 to get access to Satellite TV in many parts of US and also in other parts of the world. Satellite TV has bigger coverage than Cable TV and this is the main advantage.

Satellite TV, as the word implies is TV broadcasting delivered by satellites. To receive signals from a satellite you need a receiver, a dish and a remote which will be provided if you subscribe for a Satellite TV Services. And of course you would need to pay for the subscription and have the dish installed.

But now you can have Satellite TV right in your house without complying with all the above requirements and without paying monthly subscription? How can that be done?

Apparently, it is the hottest secret now. All you need is a piece of software with a one time purchase payment and you don?t have to worry about the monthly bills and still enjoy watching satellite TV. You don?t even need a TV. You just need your PC or laptop. Wow! I was fascinated when I downloaded and installed on my PC the first time.

Aside from freeing myself from monthly bills, there are also a lot of advantages of satellite TV on PC. I don?t need to purchase an extra hardware to make it work on PC or laptop and I can watch TV anywhere where there?s internet. I watched at the airport, in Starbucks and in my office as well while waiting for appointments.

The best part is it?s legal and it works anywhere in the world. For a traveling executive, nothing beats this. I asked myself why I was paying a Satellite TV company almost $90 a month for some 100+ channels when I could get all these TV channels on my computer.

My guess is the Cable and Satellite TV companies will try their best to keep this a secret for as long as they can. Otherwise, they risk losing their fat profits each year. But for now, this trend will surely continue in popularity.

I tested out 4 companies selling this product. Two were not acceptable. The picture quality was poor. The other 2 were good. These are the Elite Package for Satellite TV on PC and Digital TV on PC

Advantages & Disadvantages Of Satellite TV On Your PC

With the proliferation of satellite on your pc software across the internet the first question people ask, is this too good to be true? As with every product on the consumer market it will have its up side and it?s down side. This holds true for satellite TV on your pc. This product has many advantages and disadvantages.

Satellite TV for your computer is usually a program that is purchased or downloaded and installed onto the user?s computer. The user is then able to view various programming from all over the world simply by using the satellite TV program and connecting to the various channels available. This is usually streaming video and you get everything from news, music and movies live.

Having satellite television on your pc it?s a blessing for the couch potato. One advantage is the fact that you have no expensive equipment or monthly fees to buy or pay for. With the various products available, all you do is pay a one time fee and you are up and running. The setup fee for satellite TV on your pc is anywhere between $50 and $100. That is a bargain compared to the cost of buying satellite television equipment, which can range from $300 to $1000.

The main disadvantage of purchasing satellite TV for your pc is that most people believe you?re getting both Direct TV and Dish Network; them being the most popular satellite television choices. This is a myth as the satellite TV programming you get from these products are usually free satellite television feeds. It would be impossible to get Direct TV or Dish Network programming as those are subscriber based and you have to pay to receive their services. The free satellite TV that the products describe are really free, however the quality of programming varies. The major satellite providers pay for their content that?s why they are able to offer HBO and ESPN to name a few of the channels. The free satellite TV products do not do this; hence you only get what is available for free.

As discussed above there are two sides to the proverbial coin with satellite TV on your pc. There will be advantages and disadvantages with a product like this. On one end the advantages are that you get a complete system setup for a very low cost. The disadvantage is the programming will be nowhere close to that offered on the major carriers. The quality of the programming will be very paltry. Once you weigh the advantages and disadvantages against each other you will be able to determine if this product is right for you.
