How Do I Watch TV on My PC? Here are Very Easy Tips How

By Linda William


Is it possible to watch TV on my PC?

The answer to this is a very simple: of course, you can. With all the available technology we have in the world today, you can always find very easy ways to watch your favorite shows without removing yourself from the vicinity of your desktop computer's monitor. But there are a few things you would need though. For starters, you need to have:

1. A serviceable computer. That is of course, a no-brainer. If you don't have this, you might as well lumber off to nearest television set. However, in order to make your TV viewing on your PC more enjoyable, make sure that your computer's monitor has at least a 32 bit resolution and that that your PC's sound card is working. And yes, you need to clear at least 2 gigabytes from your hard drive to ensure that the shows run smoothly.

2. Software needed to watch movies on your PC. You can download free software such as QuickTime or Windows Media Player on any freeware site in the internet. That is, of course, if you have internet service. Otherwise, you can buy separate software package from your favorite computer/software store.

3. You need to take out monthly subscription from a cable and satellite television service provider. A company like this will hook your PC up in no time, and you get to have a large selection of movie channels and shows too. Your service provider might also provide you the necessary viewing software if these are not yet currently installed in your desktop computer.

But how do I watch TV on my PC for free?

If you want free service, you need to have a very fast internet connection. A dial-up service is definitely out of the question. You would need at least 10Mbps downloading power in order to get really good TV watching capacity.

If you already have that, a serviceable computer, software needed for viewing, and the necessary free space on your hard drive, then all you would need is to surf through the various websites that offer free television programming. The most prominent US-based sites right now are: Hulu, TVChannelsFree and Sling. Although the channels and shows are not as extensive as the ones offered by the cable and satellite television service providers, there is still a respectable number of programs to choose from.

We hope these very easy tips answer your "how do I watch TV on my PC" questions sufficiently. Have a great time watching!
