It is true that PCs today have become so powerful and Internet connections are so fast that one can really watch free satellite TV on PC. However, people tend to be confused as to what it really means, and tend to misconstrue it as simply installing a TV tuner card on your PC, and attaching the satellite feed to it.
While this is certainly a technological breakthrough, it is still nowhere near as amazing as actually watching free satellite TV on your personal computer using only a PC with a relatively fast Internet connection.
True free satellite TV on the PC means that the broadcast signal is sent through the Internet. Usually, the service provider is the one that receives the actual satellite TV feeds, which they send to their subscribers. The player for these Internet satellite TVs are either installable client programs or web-based applications. The quality and variety of channels in the service will depend on the company that provides them, but it is a safe bet that they will have at least a thousand different stations, which is very common for satellite TVs.
One thing to remember is that the word “free†is a bit of a misnomer. It is true that you don’t have to pay a satellite TV provider or to pay someone to install a satellite dish on top of your house; but majority of Internet satellite TV is subscription based, and while the costs are still cheaper than regular satellite subscription, you still need to pay a nominal fee.
One of the most popular software is the satellite TV for PC elite software that cost $49.95. It only cost a one time fee and you can watch more than 3000 satellite TV channels on your PC. The video resolution is pretty high and you can watch satellite TV channels from almost all genres including movies, TV shows, cartoons, news, sports, news, documentaries and music videos. There are even foreign TV channels as well.
