So approximately everyone that you’ve talked to are raving about  the latest softwares in the market i.e. Internet TV softwares that allow you to watch tons of satellite TV on your PC. However, before you  come on board , please consider some important considerations.  The Satellite TV on PC software is not for you if you belong to the following category of person(s):-

1.      You Stay in a Rural Area that does not have Good Internet Connection

As a good internet connection (cable or broadband) is one of the fundamental requisite for a smooth and high quality running of the Internet TV software, you should  not even consider the idea of watching Satellite TV channels on your computer if your geographical territory is  lacking of such Internet connections. Having said that, running your software on normal dial up is still technically imaginable, although you may witness rough, deformed and interruptive results that will cause a lot of disappoinment and frustration. This is not suggested.

2.      You Do Not Possess a PC with the Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirement for the Internet TV software to run smoothly is a PC with a minimum Pentium 3 CPU with processing speed greater than 333 MHz. Your PC also need to contain operating systems like Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000 or XP. That is practically all Windows Operating Systems (OS). If this basic requirement is lacking and you do not intend to nor do not have the budget to upgrade, then this whole concept of watching Satellite TV on the PC is just not for you.

3.  You have already installed Hardwares and are Paying Monthly Subscriptions for your Satellite or cable TV

So you have already installed the satellite dish, routers, cables, machines etc. in your house and are presently paying a monthly subscription fees for your Satellite or Cable TV.  Then you have just missed the boat. You could have saved  heaps of cash on the expensive equipments and monthly fees.  However, if you are so loaded and do not mind paying extra, then this is of no consequence to you.

 4.   You Hate Watching from the Computer Monitor

You love your brand new couch and simply adore the idea of watching Satellite TV right in front of your TV set. You have no desire nor the need to enjoy thousands of fantastic TV channels worldwide, anywhere and at anytime. You do not subscribe to the concept of mobile TV. So the recommendation is Internet TV is not for you.

5.   You Adore TV Advertisements

You are the exceptional one who enjoys commercials! Since online commercials only last about 30 seconds each with each show having no more than 5 commercials, you’ll be greatly discomfited. That’s a lot of difference from the normal TV screenings which flash commercials interminably for 10 minutes each time and at the interval of 30 minutes between commercials.

So you decide if you are anyone of a kind of person described above. If indeed so then please don’t  purchase  the Internet TV softwares, which are not  suitable for you.
