Want To Watch TV Online? Here's How!

By Grant Dougan


With so many cable TV and satellite TV alternatives, today we thought we would explore another choice for you to watch TV. Many people are watching their favorite shows on the internet so did some poking around and found out more about this choice.

Watching TV on the internet isn't new, but just recently it has increased dramatically in popularity due to advances in video quality and available channels. It wasn't long ago that the video quality was really low and there weren't all that many channels available online.

Now the technology has raised to the point where you can find thousands of channels and watch all of them in outstanding quality. It's impressive the advances that have been made and it's no surprise more people are turning their computers into media centers.

Now let's look at how it's possible to watch television on the web.

As you probably have guessed, you need to install a specialized internet TV software program on your PC. Let's go over a couple of features to search for when you're looking for an online TV software.

A wide selection of TV channels is a must-have in a good online television program. Naturally you want the popular TV networks ABC, CNN, Showtime, HBO etc) but you should also get access to a wide variety of specialty channels as well. The better internet TV software programs will always provide you with over 1,000 TV channels.

A great feature that I found is the ability to record whatever show you want. It's kind of like a "Tivo" - you are able to record whichever show you want so that you can then watch whenever you wish. This feature isn't on most programs, but you can find it so look around. As well, you should have the choice to hook up your computer to your TV so that you are able to watch whatever show right on your television set if you choose.

You should also ensure that there aren't any monthly fees. The best internet TV programs will only bill you once for lifetime access to their services. You won't be billed any monthly charges which naturally makes it a better value when you compare it to cable or satellite TV. If there's a monthly fee, look somewhere else! You can find a better deal.

Altogether, I was amazed with what I found. For approximately fifty bucks you get complete access to tons of TV channels to view on your computer. Keep in mind though, it can be very addictive!
