► How to Watch 4,500+ Channels in HD With No Satellite Dish & No Cable Bill
Jan 15th
By now you’ve probably heard rumors about “online TV software” that will instantly transform your PC or Mac into a “Super TV” letting you watch live sports, live news, movies, TV shows, and thousands of channels from all over the world… They claim you can download the software for a small one-time fee and then never have to pay for any recurring monthly charges, saving you big bucks on your entertainment bills…

Are these products legal? Despite how it sounds these products are in fact legal because the channels are being broadcast directly by the original content providers. Most major TV networks are comprised of numerous smaller networks (ABC has about 20) which broadcast local content via TV and live Internet streams. These software products simply provide a convenient method for streaming all this content via one interface.
Live streaming works well as long as you have a decent Internet connection. Resolution varies from channel to channel… from 800×600 pixels up to 1920×1080 (full HD). Some channels are widescreen and others are in the 4:3 (standard) aspect ratio. Click the following image to view a demo of a live TV stream embedded into HTML:

Content: Depending on which software you download you can watch up to 4,500 channels including movies, local and international news, live NFL games, worldwide sports (every sport), TV shows, music videos, special events, documentaries… It’s a wider variety than what you’ll get from your local cable company. The video quality is a slight compromise but the cost savings make up for it. It’s about $50 to download the software (one-time fee), however there are no monthly fees or subscriptions, and no special hardware needed, making it an attractive alternative to higher priced cable TV services.

SatelliteDirect
Review: Recently enhanced with more channels and features, SatelliteDirect is our top choice for watching TV online. The software does what it promises, allowing you to watch over 3,500 channels in high resolution. The interface is well designed, and it just feels a bit more refined than the competition. It also has a few unique features:
1) Provides a search tool that allows you to find specific content quickly and avoid endless channel surfing.
2) Includes premium channels (Movie Channels, Food Network, ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox, CBS, NFL Network, NBA TV, BBC, HDTV1, many more).
3) When you move your cursor over a channel name it gives you a pop-up text description of the channel. This is a huge time saver because the channel names don’t always make it obvious what they’re about.
4) Another nice thing is the speed at which channels appear on screen. They appear almost instantly, whereas the other softwares all have a 5 to 10 second lag when changing channels, which feels like a long time if you’re looking for something to watch.

Channels For Watching Live Sports:
Because there are so many channels (and the quality varies so much from channel to channel) it’s very important to take the time to go through the entire list and add the ones you like to your list of favorites. If you’re mainly looking to watch live sports, NFL games, college football, NBA games, MLB baseball, etc. here are some of the best channels for watching live sports:
ESPN Sat-1
ESPN 2 Sat-1, ESPN 2 Sat-2
ESPN America Sat-1, ESPN America Sat-2
ESPN America Sat-3, ESPN America Sat-4
NFL Network Sat-2
CBS Sat-1, CBS Sat-2
Fox
ESPN 2 American Football
ESPN Sat-8
MLB Network Sat-1
NBA TV
NCAA College Football Channel Sat-1
NCAA College Football Channel Sat-2
NCAA College Football Channel Sat-3
Content Summary: 199 sports channels, 258 news channels, 385 TV show/movie channels, 20 channels from the BBC… Then about 3,000 more in various categories like comedy, politics, music, kids, community, games, education, science, culture, lifestyle, shopping, cooking, business, travel, etc. You also get 82 live web-cams from famous places all over the world such as zoos, aquariums, beaches, clubs, museums, historical landmarks, etc.
The video and sound quality are great for the majority of the channels. Some channels are widescreen (16×9) and others are in the standard (4×3) aspect ratio. The video feed is fast and most channels are in high resolution. Some are in full HD. Note: You need a high speed Internet connection such as DSL or cable in order to watch HD channels. Dial-up won’t work.
The only complaint we have about SatelliteDirect is the lack of documentation, or manual. But the controls are easy enough to figure out, so you’ll probably become an expert within a few hours anyway.
At the time of this review (March 2012) SatelliteDirect is on sale for $49.95 (one-time fee) which is 70% off. Highly recommended.
Digital TV for PC 2
Review: DigitalTVforPC2 is another good piece of software for watching TV on the Internet and it’s quite popular due to a flashy website and an excellent price ($29.95). The overall design is clean, professional and the channel list seems to be almost 100% up to date (only a few dead channels). The software has a gray and purple color scheme, with basic controls on top, and a sleek pop-out channel menu to the left. You can filter channels by Most Popular, Genre, Country, and you can also save your own list of favorites.
Screenshot Gallery:
Unique to DigitalTVforPC2 are the “On Demand” and “Movies” content menus. The On Demand menu lets you watch pre-aired episodes of shows from ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX. And the Movies section lets you stream a large lineup of movies from various free movie sites. Yes, you can already get all that content for free directly on the websites of those networks and movie sites, but it’s still nice to be able to access it right from within the player.
The only real disappointment with DigitalTVforPC2 is that it only comes with 2,300 channels, and about half of those channels aren’t in English. Our #1 choice SatelliteDirect comes with over 3,500 channels, and over 1,500 are in English, so it provides quite a bit more entertainment. Other than that this product works well, and it may be a good choice for you if you speak several languages, or if you really enjoy foreign programming. But if you’re like us and you primarily want to watch English/American content you’re going to have a limited selection. Hopefully in a future update they’ll include more content for English speaking users.

Don’tPayTV
Review: Don’tPayTV is another good product for streaming live TV online. The picture quality is great, the interface outperforms many of the softwares we tested, and it’s just as easy to use as our #1 and #2 choices. We just have a few complaints that prevent it from getting a higher rating:
1)There are a lot more “dead” channels in the menu, meaning that the channel list isn’t being updated when channels change or go off the air. This means it has significantly fewer channels than the 5,000 they’re claiming, and it can be a bit annoying if you’re channel surfing and you keep trying channels that don’t work.
2) Our other complaint is the $79 price tag. Yes, it’s still a better deal than paying for cable every month, but it doesn’t make any sense to pay $79 when SatelliteDirect is such a great product for 40% less money.

Final Summary:
If you want to watch TV on the Internet there are websites like hulu.com that will allow you to freely stream recent episodes of many popular TV shows, but that’s not watching live TV, it’s downloading old TV. If you want to watch actual live television on your computer, such as live sports, live news, etc. you can download TV software for a one-time fee and you’ll never have to pay for any recurring subscriptions. These solutions provide a large selection of channels including content from over 80 countries. SatelliteDirect is our top choice because it works well, includes premium channels, sets up in 2 minutes, and does it all for only $49.95… We still can’t believe how much entertainment it provides for less than one month of cable. It will be interesting to see the next generation of Internet TV solutions, which will probably include 100% high definition programming, optional premium channels, and a highly interactive TV/shopping experience.
NOTE: A lot of people have been asking us if they can set this software up to watch all these channels on their regular TV, instead of their computer. The answer is “yes” you just need the right cable to connect your computer to your TV. And the cable depends upon what video inputs you have on the back of your TV. If you do a little bit of research on this you will be able to get the cable you need on amazon.com for about $10.00.

Watch Live TV Online For Free Using Internet TV Software
Sep 12th
Were you aware that you could watch live TV online free over your active internet connection? Watching live television online with internet TV software is not the same thing as downloading movies or television show episodes on your computer. Simply downloading movies and television show episodes use peer-to-peer file sharing programs like BitTorrent. In addition, using your internet to watch live TV is also not the same as viewing pre-aired content, which are things like episodes and special programs that cable or television stations may place on their websites specifically to benefit views.
Rather, internet TV software is a standalone program that essentially turns your laptop or desktop computer into a live television viewing station, giving you the power to watch any live television station at any time. This means that you can watch shows at the moment they air instead of being forced to watch them afterwards.
Lots More Channels to Watch
Unlike cable programming–and most satellite service providers–the internet TV software that you can use to watch live television encompasses thousands–usually upwards of 3,000 to 4,000–of programming stations. You’re not just able to watch local channels, sports stations and movie channels, but you’ll be able to choose from some of the top-rated premium content available from a satellite connection.
And don’t worry–even though you may be using a cable internet connection with your internet TV software, you can still get just as many channels. The internet TV software itself uses thousands of satellite signals to provide you with free-to-air satellite stations, which means that you can get this type of programming no matter what type of computer or internet connection you have.
Watch Directly on your Television
Another great benefit to being able to watch live television online free on your computer through the internet connection and the internet TV software is the fact that you can actually watch the programming directly on your television. Being able to do this requires that you have the correct video output and connection methods between your computer or laptop and your television, however.
Once you do have the proper connection and the right wires, you can hook your computer up to the television and use the internet TV software the same way. Many people–especially the early adopters who have been using internet TV software for years–enjoy hooking their laptops and desktops up directly to their television so that they can relax on the couch instead of a computer chair and watch TV just as though they were subscribed to an actual cable or satellite service provider.
Internet TV software can truly be a replacement for your cable or satellite subscription. Whether you want to watch streaming live TV shows on your big-screen television set or you want to be able to watch live TV online free no matter where you are in the world, investing in an internet TV software program is perhaps the best step you can take towards achieving entertainment programming freedom. With the ability to watch over 3,500 television stations at any time, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of this software?
Watching Live Television Online Free With TV Software Has Major Perks
Jan 22nd
There’s nothing better than being able to relax and watch live tv online free directly through your computer and the internet. With the introduction and popularity of internet TV software, practically anyone is able to turn on their computer, fire up the World Wide Web and watch their favorite television shows, news programs and any other entertainment program that’s available to watch.
Internet TV software is just that – software which you download so that you can watch live television stations free through your online connection. If you’ve never considered investing in something like this before, now is the time to take advantage of this technology to enjoy the maximum benefit of your internet connection. Here are a couple benefits of using this software to watch the programs you want to watch:
No Monthly Cable or Satellite Bills
Perhaps the greatest advantage and benefit of installing online TV software on your computer is that you’ll be able to watch live tv online for free and you’ll never have to pay another single cable or satellite monthly bill. Considering that many monthly cable and satellite service providers often charge upwards of $50 to $100 per month for subscriptions, depending on your channel selection, this could turn into huge annual cost savings!
With an internet TV software program, the only thing you have to pay for is the one time fee for downloading the software itself. The software is the mainframe through which you can watch all the television stations you want. Once you purchase the software, you have the user rights to use it anytime and anywhere – there’s no need to subscribe to a company that then allows you to watch your favorite television shows and nightly news programs.
More Channels
Another benefit of using internet TV software is its ability to give you more stations than you ever thought possible. The majority of online TV programs have the ability to deliver over 3,000 live satellite and television programs–which is actually more than some of the leading satellite companies actually allow you to watch. For current cable subscribers and many satellite subscribers, this means that you can find more educational programming and more topic-specific shows geared toward your own interests.
Some of the programming which you’re able to watch with your internet tv software includes news channels, sports, and movie channels among many others. Whether you want to be able to watch fitTV or one of the myriad of ESPN sports channels, all of this can be done using your home computer and your active internet connection.
As you can see, using software to watch live tv on the internet free has real benefits, not only for your viewing habits and pleasure, but also for your wallet. Since there’s no need to pay any extra money per month, you’ll save money on subscription costs you would ordinarily pay to cable or satellite service providers. All things considered, internet TV software takes advantage of the internet to provide regular television watchers with premium channels, shows and internet viewing capabilities.
