subject: Watch TV on Your Computer and Save on Expensive Cable Subscriptions [print this page] If you do a search you will find loads of video streams around the internet including TV shows from mainstream channels and short clips on sites such as you tube.
It's a great opportunity that many are using to ditch expensive subscriptions in favour of enjoying this free television viewing on their computers.
So how can you also take advantage of this multitude of free entertainment without getting scammed or accidently downloading advertising banners and pop ups from who knows where. Or even worse, downloading a virus or malware that completely screws up your hardrive.
What solutions are available to me?
One solution is to buy a USB tuner that plugs into your USB drive. Problem with that though, is they vary so much in price from fifty bucks upwards and whilst they give access to more than your average TV station, they fall far short of providing the excess of 2000 channels available by other less expensive means. You'll still need and aerial and cables for it too!
The best solution by far is to download a simple piece of software from a reliable vendor - most that are available are around the fifty buck mark - and be tuning into programs from around the world in less time than it takes to make a coffee.
Stay clear of the freebie sites though, that are littered with viruses and spyware!
Just look at some of the benefits.
There are no recurring monthly fees. Just a one off charge to download the software that even a child could use, gives you immediate access to over 2000 channels worldwide for your viewing pleasure.
No expensive upgrades needed either. Forget buying a tuner and having more untidy aerial cables snagging up your desk. You do need a fast internet connection though and windows 98 or later.
Convenience. Watching TV on your computer is as convenient as it can get. You can watch TV shows anywhere there is internet and some software even lets you record so you never miss an episode of your favorite program again.
