Compare Software for Watching Satellite TV on Your Computer
Is this for real?
So you ask. Yes, this is for real. How do we know? Because we have tried and played with the software with about 10 different vendors.
Legal Issue?
Free access to satellite TV from your computer is absolutely legal. According to a Federal Court ruling, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is not allowed to regulate PC satellite-TV software and Internet television. However, as you can imagine, there is no telling how long the rule can last as the satellite TV providers must be lobbying hard. So you might want to get one while you can.
Advantages
The major advantages of using the software over regular satellite TV providers are:
(1) you can get channels you can’t get any other place in the U.S.A! Even HDTV channels;
(2) you can watch from anywhere in the world, even when you are on the raod, or in a plane;
(3) you pay only one time fee for the software, and never have to pay monthly fees. Obviously, you save thousands of dollars over many years on cable and satellite bills.
How do I choose the right one?
Things to consider when you decide which software to choose include:
(a) easy of use – navigation (i.e., software design)
(b) load time/stability (obviously this has to do with your internet connection as well as the software.)
(c) support
(d) if you are looking for international channels, you want to find out if they include your contries.
number of channels should not be your only consideration as the numbers might not be accurate.
There are many vendors in the market. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time and money to try them out one by one, here is our reviews. Among all software available, we think you get the most bang for your buck with the following 4 vendors. (All these packages work with all versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Macintosh/Apple computers. They are very easy to install.)
