Watching Satellite TV on TV has become a matter of the past, or at least, for the outdated group of TV audience   out there. With every household in the USA owning at least 1 personal computer these days, technological advancements have greatly transformed our laptops into our very own TV box  or Internet TV. Historically , in order to watch satellite TV, one would have to do the following:-

1. Install a 20-inch satellite dish called DISH 500, which allowed subscribers to receive a satellite TV signals from two satellite locations simultaneously . Slightly larger, 36″x20″ dishes (called SuperDISH) were also introduced with capability to receive satellite signals from three satellite locations simultaneously . You could find yourself paying $99 for SDTV DVR receivers, and $299 for HDTV DVR receivers.
2. Pay recurring fees every month . The introductory plans are certainly cheap, but they provide only limited number of channels. Satellite TV service costs vary, principally according to the channels that subscribers choose to pay for.  You will find that certain plans can offer up to about 250 channels together with other  features such as recording features and even broadband internet facilities. Both DirecTV and Dish Network (the two main satellite providers in North America) offer basic packages for $20 to $25 per month. Add-on options for HDTV, sports channels, movie channels, and so forth ordinarily cost anywhere from $8 to $25 per month each (or come in season-long subscriptions for sports such as NFL football, NBA basketball game and so forth).  Plenty of bundle deals  are available in the $30 to $55 a month range, but  you can end up spending  $100 a month or more on satellite TV services, especially if you like sports or movies, or both.

1. Set up your computers to receive live satellite TV feeds  using the PCTV card. There are two kinds of PCTV cards  available in the marketplace. Both allow you to watch satellite TV on computer though the installation varies . One requires you to install the card within your CPU housing, meaning it is connected to your motherboard to utilize its circuit board architecture. This is a more complicated way . But fortunately, if you are technologically challenged or just cannot imagine yourself dismantling your computer, then  avail yourself of the second method, which is to install an external PCTV card  . The external card can be connected to the computer via a cable to the USB port. There are even wireless versions in the market nowadays .  These PCTV cards   used to be skyrocket high when they first entered the market but they have more or less stabilized and dropped over time . Nevertheless,  brace yourself  to come up with at least $200 for a decent card to watch satellite TV on computer. Broadband is the norm nowadays . Running the card on dial-up internet connection could be challenging though not unacceptable. However,  you will find that the TV reception is distorted delayed and interrupted  and there could be a time lapse between picture and audio, ie poor synchronization. It is best that you have a broadband connection speed of 512 KB to watch satellite TV on computer  uninterrupted .

 Thanks to  technological furtherance….. nowadays you can  very easily enjoy  satellite TV on your computer by using an Internet TV software. With that simple yet  intelligent   software running, you can instantaneously receive thousands of TV channels from dozens of countries around the world .
