Free satellite television seems like such a novel concept. Yet it's reality. Online TV stations are now offering computer noobies and gurus a chance to watch their favorite TV programming online. The idea is called Free To Air Satellite TV broadcast that streams through your Internet right onto your desktop. This means users are able to watch the unencrypted video without legal ramifications.

With a high speed Internet connection, watching satellite TV compares closely with regular TV broadcasting except it's with a click of a mouse button. Dial-up will stutter and stall when video plays. It just doesn't have the bandwidth it takes to play a live or recorded broadcast.

To enjoy the favorites the Internet has to offer, all you need is a system compatible to the streaming technology. A computer system running any Windows Operating Software including but not limited to XP, ME, Win 95 and 98 will do. The computer should have a processing speed of, nothing less than, a Pentium III 333, a high-end graphics card, a sound card along with external speakers and a large LCD screen.

Some station websites will demand software that is capable of playing their videos. The software is downloadable and easy to install. It's available at several online retailers and from payment to installation; the whole process should be no more than an hour.

Online satellite stations do not mind the traffic their website gets... the more, the better. However, occasionally the website may get a user who constantly floods them with unwanted signals. Unless your computer is one of them, have fun searching the sites.

If you don't know where to go for some of the interesting videos, conduct a search with Yahoo or Google. Type in combinations of "satellite free TV" or "international TV sites". Into the news, CNN.com and ABCNews.com also have stories available for browsing.

With cartoons, music videos, movies, news stories, live games, educational sites and radio stations for free, everyone in the household will get use out of the streaming technology available on the computer. The best thing of all...it's all free!

With two main ways to watch satellite TV why not become one of the million users already watching online TV? To do so, visit my blog

What if someone were to offer you a way to watch satellite television for free. Would you believe them? Well, there is a way! It's called Free To Air Satellite TV broadcast streamed through your computer.

The Free to Air TV broadcast software allows users to watch unencrypted broadcasts legally. This means anyone in the household from the grandparents to the little tyke can watch movies, trailers, cartoons, games, music videos or news releases. These can be prerecorded or live videos.

Many online TV stations including TNT and ABC allow users to catch up on past episodes of their favorite shows. If curiosity lingers, a user can type keywords into a search engine to find other streaming videos, whether live or recorded, and find many more national and international sites. Based upon this inquiry, the search should yield (hopefully) websites the user is interested in looking at.

It must be said that streaming videos requires a higher end computer system. Anything below a Pentium III 333 CPU processor will not allow the video to play or stall trying to play. A good graphics card that retails typically more than $70 should be installed along with your sound card. Computer speakers and a large LCD screen will complete the ensemble.

However, some sites do require special software that needs to be downloaded and installed before streaming videos will work. The software can be found widely throughout the Internet and while some may be free to use, others may require payment. Don't forget that using a dial-up connection will not work as well as the higher data lines like DSL, Cable or even Wireless. It should take no more than an hour to finish the procedure.

The ever-popular Windows Operating Software (OS) works effectively with streaming technology. Whether it is Win 95, Win 98, NT, ME, 2000 or XP, as long as the streaming software and the computer hardware technology is available, watching satellite TV will be within your reach.

TV stations will not require payments for using their data. In fact, they won't pay much attention to anyone on the site unless, for some reason, a user is bombarding them with a nagging signal. Only then will they step in to rectify the situation.

Software technology and online TV stations are the main ways Internet users can get a taste of the remote control and watch videos.

In the old days you needed an aerial to watch TV, then came the cable providers with the monthly fees and the satellite TV. Then when high speed internet came out, it started to get interesting. It became possible to watch TV on your pc or laptop if you had the proper hardware installed. Now we are one step further.

It is now possible to watch quality tv from all around the world, with ONLY software installed on your pc. And this is not some kind of youtube video that you can watch. This is live satellite TV.

You might think that you need to have technical knowledge, and maybe you are thinking that must be some kind of hardware involved. This however is not the case. All you need is software and an internet connection. The software is not more difficult (if not easier) than checking your email.

So no more satellite dishes, no more software, just pure quality tv on your pc or laptop When you have acquired the software you can watch 3000 channels from all over the world anywhere you want. I myself am currently in Thailand and I can still watch Dutch tv, isn't that amazing.

So to summarize the advantages:

  • No satellite dish or other hardware. So you don't have to build a TV-tuner in your pc, and you don't have to install a satellite dish anymore.
  • Easy to use software. Just click and view. It cannot get any easier
  • Watch TV anywhere you want. Anywhere you have an internet connection and your laptop you can now look at the satellite channels.
  • 3000 channels. So now you can watch 3000 channels from countries all over the world.
  • No monthly fees. A one time price, so no more monthly bills!

Welcome to the age of technology, where nothing seems impossible.

My name is Naithan Weigh and I spend my time in Thailand. If you stay behind on modern technology you are missing out. There are so many things that are very useful and you can get for free or a small price. One of these things is Satellite tv. Now I use it mainly because I can watch Dutch tv in Thailand, but I already used it to cut down on my monthly bills when I lived in the Netherlands. If you feel like learning more then go read my blogs.

This is my blog concerning Satellite-TV.

This is my blog with travelling tips and making money while you travel.

And this is another article about satellite TV on your pc.

More than 16 million people have discovered the joys of watching DIRECTV. Here's an overview of the DIRECTV equipment you need to get their service, plus where to get it free.

What do I need to get DIRECTV programming?

First off you need a dish. The dish is actually a parabolic reflector that captures a satellite TV signal and focuses it on the feed horn that sticks out in front of the dish. The feed horn amplifies and filters the signal and sends it to the receiver.

The receiver is the control center of a satellite TV system. It de-scrambles the signal, converts the signal into a format your TV will recognize, and separates the signal into individual channels. In addition, the receiver also does the following:

* It allows you to change channels and change the picture elements and size

* It allows you to view an on-screen guide that shows you what's on DIRECTV and gives a brief summary of each program

* It has parental controls that let you block programs you feel are unsuitable for your children

* It gives you access to pay-per-view movies and events

DIRECTV also offer DVR (digital video recorder) receivers. These receivers let you record hundreds of hours of programs and store them on DVR's hard drive. With a DVR you can pause a live TV show so you can answer your phone or get a drink, then watch the rest of the show when you're ready.

DVRs let you record a program while you watch another program, and even record two programs while watching one of your recorded programs. Simply put, A DVR puts you in control of your TV by allowing you to watch your programs when you want to.

Where can I get free DIRECTV satellite TV equipment?

DIRECTV will give you a free dish, a four-room receiver system, and remotes when you order one of their program packages. Installation is also free. Prices start at $29.99 for their 40-channel package which includes your local channels.

In a world where many product advertisements are misleading or just barely on the legal side of fraudulent, how do you decide to buy something you've never had any experience using? If you've ever had this happen to you, then you know what a pain that simple decision can become. Choosing between similar products can be even more confusing because each advertisement is trying to entice you to buy. They make their product descriptions out to be so miraculous sounding that it's even harder to decide where the truth ends and the advertising hype begins. Purchasing PC satellite tv software is no different, so let's separate the hype from the reality so you can make an informed decision.

If you haven't had the opportunity to watch satellite TV on your computer, you might not realize how much this type of media entertainment has to offer. While, traditional television providers can offer a good range of channels to watch, it's still necessary to stop what you're doing and sit down in front of the TV to view a program. If you have lots of time to kill, then this is obviously an entertaining way to spend your time. However, you don't have to be tied to the armchair in the family room to watch television with PC TV 2007 Titanium Edition. This innovative software gives you the opportunity to watch literally thousands of channels from around the world from your computer while you work, chat with family and friends, or just surf the net. You don't have to stop what you're doing to watch TV anymore.

In today's world, our home computers are one of the most utilized devices. We do everything from pay bills to buying concert tickets. Due to the fact we spend more or our leisure time online, we're not as likely to sit in front of the family television. We also don't crank the stereo up because we don't want to disturb others around us.

In a nutshell, you merely download the software, install the files, connect to the internet and fire up the program to watch TV. To get the best audio and video quality, broadband or another form of high speed internet connection is my recommendation.

PC TV 2007 Titanium Edition - An Essential FAQ Answered Here

The single most frequently asked question is whether or not this software will allow you to watch EXACTLY the same channels as you could watch with traditional satellite or cable service. The answer is NO. Satellite TV for PC Titanium allows you to pick up free-to-air broadcast channels. It will not decode and transmit the encrypted premium channels.
