Satellite TV on PC Elite Edition
Last week in a brainstorming session, we tossed around the idea of what would happen to the cell phone network once WI-Max arrived and all cell devices would be switched over to VOIP on the WI-Max network. Essentially, all cell phone companies would need to get quickly into this technology. And then one of the group mentioned that satellite feeds were already making their way to broadband and that it wouldn't be long before everyone had access to satellite TV on their PC. And why would you want that?
As millions know, satellite TV is a subscription based product that you must pay for every month. If you add another room in your house, you pay for another receiver or feed. What most don't know is that there is satellite TV available for the PC as well and there is no monthly fee built-in. The way this business model is monetized is through the sale of the aggregator software that you install on your PC. No extra equipment - just a broadband connection and you're all set to watch some 2000 channels of video from around the globe. Thousand have already jumped on board, but is it legal?
One of the systems we put to the test is the Satellite TV for PC 2008 Elite Edition. They claim 3000 channels, but not all are broadcasting at the same time so it was a little hit or miss. There are thousands of great channels and you may find some local networks with shows you normally watch on your TV. The system is not hacked or illegal - and there is a support team that can help you if you ever have a challenge with the software. We found that it downloaded quickly and was easy to install. There was no extra hardware to purchase as the player uses your computer speakers and screen.
One great feature, as reviewed on a Satellite TV software site is that you can take the program wherever you go. Installed on a notebook computer and wherever you travel, you'll have your satellite channels. And if you enjoy foreign programming you're in for a treat. There are over 78 countries represented with dozens of channels from world famous networks. You can even watch these as you travel overseas, provided you have a high speed connection. The Elite Edition has more channels than its predecessor and has an improved interface.
Once you pay for the software, you're done. That covers the life of the software and no additional payments are required. In fact we thought it was interesting that they didn't have a download fee for the software. Even though there are hundreds of news and variety programs, you will find a great deal of sports channels and will be delighted with the line-up. Especially with the Olympics - you will be able to see the coverage from other nations involved.
One thing you must remember before purchasing is to make sure you can get a money-back guarantee and we were pleased to find that the Satellite TV for PC 2008 Elite Edition had just that - 90 days, no questions asked. And that's pretty good.
