TV On the Internet.
I was shopping at the week-end, and overheard a snippet of conversation. The sentance "live online" immediately grabbed my attention, and I must admit to evesdropping the conversation...
A heated discussion was in full swing, and all about Internet Television. The sentences that got me excited and interested, were, "saving each month", "choice of over 3,000 channels", "one off fee", "world wide coverage". Well I had heard enough, and quickly got out of the store, and rushed home to do some research about TV on my PC , and find out if it was for me and my family...
I was already subscribing to a satellite TV provider, a costly monthly fee , for limited channels ,and often region locked. I frequently missed my favourite TV programmes, as I am away from home quite often with work commitments.
I was tired of the constant 'row' over the TV remote control, one of the children hiding it, to ensure he got to see his favourite show...
So here goes, this is what I found out about TV on my computer... The most important factor in my opinion, was the saving of my monthly satellite payment of $100. With TV online ther is a one off small payment, usually around $40, no recurring fees, and lifetime updates.
Your choice of channels with internet TV is greatly expanded, from 2-300 channels, to 3000 channels world wide...
With internet TV, you have the ability of watching TV any time and anywhere. All you need is a computer, an internet connection, and when you have chosen an online TV provider, the downloadable software. Following the very simple download, you have immediate access to over 3000 channels world wide...
If you want to watch a programme on a larger screen, there is not a problem, just hook your PC to you Television set.
This new technology has really changed our TV viewing, but a few words of caution when choosing an online TV provider...
Ensure the TV provider has the content you want, if it has a great sports coverage, and you never watch sport, then this one is not for you... Choose a site that has content from several networks, this will give you plenty of choice.
Make sure the TV site you choose has a money back guarantee, a good TV site will always have this facility. A third party payment processor is also very important. A contact facility should be available in the unlikely event of something going wrong with your TV online...
So, Online TV offers extensive content, massive savings, and of course the ability of watching TV any time, anywhere in the world... What are you waiting for, I've changed to TV live online, and will be saving $80-$100 a month . so could you...
