subject: Interested In Saying Goodbye To Your Cable Tv Bill? [print this page] PC TV was predated by both satellite and cable TV networks which first appeared in the 1970's. Almost from the first day Satellite dishes along with the price for them started to get smaller. This reduction in price along with its lack of dependence on a wire network went a long way to ensuring excellent market penetration for satellite TV.
With the ever increasing availability of hi-speed Internet across North America it was inevitable that someone would come up with a service to bring TV to your PC and indeed that is exactly what has occurred over the last several years. Like the satellite TV industry in the 1980's PC based TV has rapidly evolved into a service that now exceeds the older satellite technology in almost all area including selection (over 4000 channels in most cases), quality and price.
Probably the most surprising thing about PC TV is its pricing. Both satellite and cable TV providers charge by the month and the more channels you want the more you pay - every month. PC TV on the other hand charges only a one time fee for lifetime access to all channels they provide. The one time fee is typically far less than you now pay for one months service with your current provider.
Another key benefit of the PC TV services is that there is no need to wait for a service man to come out and install it. When you decide you want to start using it you go to any of the several web sites that offer it and sign up, pay the one time fee and then download the software. Once downloaded you install it in a few minutes following the step by step instructions and Voila! you now have world wide access to over 4000 channels.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to watch Horse Races, or car races, or news coverage from the old country all as they happen! Best of all it will take you all of about 5 minutes to connect your mega inch plasma TV to your PV and enjoy all of the available programming on a big screen. That possibility will allow you to say goodbye to your current monthly cable bill.
In conclusion, PC TV it is fair to say that PC TV is a service whose time has come and it could not come at a better time given the current pressures on the household budget.
