There are millions of people right now searching the internet for answers on how to watch tv on their pc, there are different ways to do so and we are going to take a look at each of those.

But before i get into it, let me tell you that when i say watching TV on your PC it does not mean watching some small youtube low quality videos or see small episodes of TV series, it means that you want to use your computer as your TV and that you have access to thousands of international channels from movies, tv episodes, sports, music concerts, news to soap opera and tv shows.

There are sites like Beeline.com and Live-Online-TV.com that offer satellite tv for you. Satellite TV stations broadcast their signal online and you can watch LIVE streaming video from any of those online web sites. However while there are hundreds of TV channels, many of those are not worth watching and the streaming can be very slow, because a lot of people are watching satellite TV on the web at the same time. When a TV streaming site is used by thousands of people simultaneously it tends to be slow due to the server resources being used.

• Hulu - it streams high resolution videos and movies with ads. Hulu distributes content by Fox, NBC Univerals and otehr subsidiaries. You can watch shows like the Daily Show, Battlestar Galactive, The Colbert Report, The Simplson, Saturday Night Live and others. The only downside is that it is restricted to only the US.
• Surf The Channel
  
  It basically aggregates video linkds from all over the internet, includes sites like Metacafe, youtube, hulu, megavideo and others. Its like a huge directory resource of videos that stream the different movies, tv shows, episodes, etc.
