Enjoy Satellite TV on Your PC with Easy Connections
If you're thinking about adding a second television to your home but want to avoid the expense, consider watching satellite TV on your PC. You don't need extensive technical knowledge, but a few hardware components are essential.
Many companies offer software that lets you watch TV on your computer with just a one-time fee, internet connection, and PC. Although many free-to-air programs are available, you may need to pay a licensing fee for some channels.
Getting Started with Satellite TV on Your PC
To watch satellite TV or listen to the radio on your computer, you'll need a PCTV card. There are two types: one installs inside your PC, and the other is an external device that plugs into a USB port. These cards decode satellite signals, allowing access to free-to-air programming. Both types can handle broadband signals, typically received at 40 megabytes per second. Some programs can be accessed via phone line connections, but DSL or satellite options are faster.
Using Your PC as a Digital Recorder
Ensure your computer meets the following requirements: it should have at least a Pentium II processor at 333 MHz, run Windows 98 or later, and have an available slot or USB port for the PCTV card or device. Also, a CD-ROM drive is needed. Enhanced viewing is possible with media players like Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, or QuickTime, which help make the video smoother.
To set up satellite TV on your PC, connect a cable from your satellite dish to the computer's PCTV card or use an available satellite box. Alternatively, a cable from the satellite receiver's RF output can be used. Direct TV and Dish Network recommend this setup for better picture quality.
Enjoy Global Broadcasts
With satellite TV on your PC, you can access broadcasts from around the world, though many may be in languages other than English. An advantage is the ability to save programs to your hard drive for later viewing, allowing you to enjoy shows at your convenience.
