Satellite TV for PC is a relatively new concept in today's world of audiovisual entertainment. Only in recent years and thanks to both the rapid proliferation of high speed internet and increase in average bandwidth available, has this become a reality.

In the days of dialup (some of you may never have seen a 2400 baud modem!), watching any streaming video, let alone the concept of satellite TV for PC, was either difficult or an impossibility. The best you could hope for was a grainy black and white webcam image with a lousy frame rate.

These days, so long as you have a broadband internet connection (cable or DSL), you can enjoy watching full motion, full screen video, including in HD. All types of broadband connection are capable of viewing such streams - even point to point satellite internet.

Forget your free to air box, your cable box or your satellite dish, satellite TV for PC utilizes a simple program that allows you to channel hop over 3,000 TV stations from over 78 countries around the world. Some of the channels available include ESPN News, MTV, Discovery Channel, Fox Network and more.

The great advantage of satellite TV for PC is that you don't need a separate television unit to view broadcasts. Also, you can work productively on your PC and keep abreast of news alerts, for example, without having to deviate your view from the task at hand. In some jurisdictions, for instance the UK, this will mean you also avoid paying for an otherwise compulsory TV license.
