This article will explain the facts about how to watch satellite TV on computer. It can be done. Other articles you may find on the web will make the claim that the process is simple and free. I will tell you that while setting up your PC to watch satellite TV is moderately simple, it is certainly not free.

To receive satellite TV signals on your computer, such as those provided by companies like DirecTV and Dish Network, you must be a subscriber and install a satellite dish at your place of residence. Computers and websites are not capable of receiving satellite signals. Only a satellite dish can do this.

It is easy to find software on the web which claims to provide free satellite TV for your PC with prices which range from about $10 to $50 dollars. These are not worth the time it takes to give them your credit card number and certainly not worth $50 or $10 or even $5 dollars. All these programs do is search the web for freely available video content and present it to you in an organized and colorful way. A simple search engine like Google can do the same job for free.

So, now that your dish is installed and you are receiving a signal, you need to send that signal to your PC in the same way that you would if you were sending it to your TV–with a cable wire. Plug the cable wire into the jack on the back of your PC (assuming you have a “tuner card” installed).

Most computers you can buy in the stores today are capable of receiving TV signals from a satellite dish. Check your PC’s configuration details or look at the back of your PC to see if a tuner card is installed (looks like any other coaxial cable connection). If your PC doesn’t have one, that’s alright because they are simple to buy and install (or you can buy a USB adapter).

that is how to watch satellite TV on computer. Sounds simple, right? Yes, but now comes the difficult part! Now you need to spend the time to install and learn any software that came with your hardware, searching for satellite signals, dealing with guide and audio issues, troubleshooting, and talking to tech support. Good luck!
