watch Satellite TV online? How awesome would that be!
The great thing is, it is easy, 100% legal and you can do it for FREE! But please, before you hit the internet, make sure that your whiny, turd of a boss is not looking........There are 2 ways to use your PC to watch Satellite TV online. There are free sites and software downloads. The software downloads can run up to $150 dollars and definitely have advantages over the free sites. So first, we'll talk about software downloads and how to get them for $29 with no monthly fees.
If you're in a hurry, the quick links to your right go directly to TV to PC software sites. If you want to know a little more about the ups and downs of live internet TV on your computer, read on.
TV to PC Software
I have had better luck with the TV to PC software than the freebies. With software, you download and install a program on your desktop or laptop. The programs interface allows you to access 2000 to 3000 online satellite television & radio channels online through your PC anywhere you have internet connection. If you can point and click, you will have no problem installing the software.
The cost of internet TV software varies and some companies charge monthly fees. I tried several packages costing up to $150. I found there is absolutely no difference between the high priced TV to PC software and the low cost versions.
TV to PC software provides ultra fast streaming for beautiful picture and sound. The 3 best software packages for online television to PC that offered the most value required a one time payment of $29-$49 with no monthly charges. The only difference between them was the user interface. I personally liked all the interfaces but you may have a preference. (See Quick Links above).
What is really cool is anywhere you have an internet connection, you get DVD quality video and sound on your PC. Also, all the software has a 100% money-back guarantee. So if you don't like it, just ask for a refund. They are reputable companies (I did my homework!) and will happily issue a refund.

Free TV Online
There is really nothing wrong with the freebies. The video and sound quality is adequate but the download times can be REALLY slow especially during peak viewing times. During peak times, the picture can be jittery and the sound will break-up. But what do you want for free???
The heavy-hitter in free TV to PC online is Hulu and Joost. They each have their own unique channels and just like the software, they have different user interfaces. They both offer lots of content including many programs you watch on TV.
Hulu
Hulu is currently the online TV to PC leader. They are affiliated with NBC so if it is NBC, you will most likely find it on Hulu. You'll find Saturday Night Live, The Office and America's Got Talent among many others. I personally like their drop-down channel list. Check out Hulu Now.
Joost
Right behind Hulu is Joost. Their content list is HUGE. What they have comes from MTV, VH1, Viacom channels and CBS just to name a few. There content is organized into categories that include Action and Sports, Animation, Comedy, Drama, Reality TV etc. Check out Joost Now.
Final Note
If you want to watch satellite TV online, you do have a few choices. The free sites are good for at work or maybe the kids computer but if you want decent video and sound, try one of the software programs. If it ends up not being for you, just make sure you ask for a refund within the specified time period which is usually 30 to 60 days.
