During the biggest economic downturn since the great depression, americans are looking for any way they can to cut down costs and save money. One of the major bills to get but out first is cable and satellite bills. But people still want to be able to watch their favorite shows so most have been turning to the internet. Until recently, people would have to wait until days after their show has already aired and then looked for it online. Now with some new technology satellite TV on PC products are allowing people to watch their shows live right on their computer.

The buzz over this solution has just been going crazy. Cable and satellite providers are caught in a legal battle trying to keep the TV on PC products from having the rights to broadcasting the main entertainment channels, but so far it seems the TV on PC products are winning.

The solution only requires a one time fee, then users download an application that allows them to browse channels and watch them right on their computer. As long as users have an internet connection they are able to log on and see streaming TV channels. Using the program with a laptop allows people to watch their favorite shows live wherever they're at. With the ease of use and no monthly fees, many consumers are making the switch. It's hard to truly say what the future of satellite TV on PC will be, but it does look bright. That being said, there are many different providers popping up trying to take advantage of this TV on PC boom, but only a few companies actually have the ability to show popular satellite channels. Consumers need to be aware of which solution they choose as they are many providers out there who are just re-packaging free channels and advertising it as something else.

OUR #1 PICK: Satellite Direct is the pioneer of TV on PC. They started this whole boom and have exclusive rights to many of the popular satellite channels. They have good support, a one time fee and their program is very easy to use. Satellite Direct is always on the leading edge for new advances with TV on PC, so if something happens, or new channels become available, Satellite Direct will have it. 3500 Channels Good Customer Support The first TV for PC provider

Compare All of Our Top Picks:

Below I have listed the top 5 companies right now in TV for PC. We have gone through and purchased and used each program in order to properly review them. We have found two main competitors (Satellite Direct and Satellite TV for PC titanium edition) to be the only providers worth recommending. Both of these providers came out around the same time and continue to be on the leading edge in TV on PC technology. We also went through and found a general consensus from customers about what they thought of the programs.

There have been a ton of providers popping up everywhere promising streaming satellite channels. But don't be fooled! There are only a couple providers who actually have the rights to stream satellite channels and we have reviewed them here. Any other providers you see are simply scams. They re-package free channels into their software and sell them to users. Before making a decision be sure to be informed about the provider you use.

Our Conclusion:

In conclusion Satellite Direct and Satellite TV for PC Titanium Edition were our top choices. Satellite Direct is a bit cheaper and has stayed our number one choice because they were first on the scene and have a solid offering of channels, but newcomer Satellite TV for PC Titanium Edition is looking very promising. They have a bit more channels then Satellite Direct at the moment, but they also cost a bit more. Either way though, the ability to cut out your cable or satellite bills is going to save you thousands.

Posted by: Rafael Morin Pretty crazy... I didn't think we were ever going to be able to get live satellite channels on our PC any time soon. Satellite and Cable solutions must be going crazy over this!
