Satellite TV for PC is basically a piece of software that is you can download and installed on your computer. With this, you can watch satellite TV on your PC. It doesn't require any special card or hardware on your computer. After installing and running Satellite TV for PC, you will get a list of TV channels that you can see.

I could not believe the ease and convenience of Satellite TV for PC the first time I installed the software. Within 5 minutes, I was watching Fox news. My Cable TV was giving me problems and for a few days I was kind of in the dark as far as news was concerned.

I feel this is one software that I will not give up. There are so many benefits for the small price that I paid. I can watch everywhere on my laptop such as in the airport while waiting.

Among the thousands of channels, here are some of the types of channels you can expect.

News Channels - Many news channels from over 80 countries bring the latest news live in many languages to your PC. You can watch the latest news not just in your city but even in countries like Australia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Malaysia, Koreaand China.

Sports Channels - With Satellite TV for PC you can watch a good variety of football, soccer, tennis, basketball, golf and many other sports events including those that your cable company does not broadcast or those where they charge you on basis of pay-per-view.

Movie Channels - Red hot new movies are available. Premium movies that you have to pay extra to your cable or satellite service provider are also found here. Exotic movies too. I watched some old Japanese movies of the war and I liked them. There were Japanese movies that I considered sensual but they seem to be aired only at certain times of the day. I guess we have to consider that some channels don't run for 24 hours.

Documentary Channels - The usual ones like National Geographic, Discovery, NASA etc. In foreign channels, I saw some exciting documentary shows but unfortunately not all are available in English.

Kids Channels - With Satellite TV for PC your children will have the excitement of watching their favorite cartoons and movies non stop.

The advertisement for Satellite for PC says "you can download a TV". Its true. Satellite TV for PC Software actually turns your computer into a TV. With over 3000 Stations for a small one-time fee, I think it is a steal.. Once you have bought the software, you have nothing else to pay.

As for image quality, a lot depends on the channels. Some are not as good as others. The software package also makes the difference. I tried a few types but generally the Elite Package is the best.

The software comes with some sort of membership which provides support. Response is good and they also add in new channels from time to time. As for loading time, as long as your internet connection is good, they load very quickly even those from across the globe.
