There are loads of companies out there that sells software that enables you to watch thousands of channels on your PC for a start up fee.

What I think is really clever with this is that more and more everyday stuff are moving towards the computer and internet. Now, also watching TV is taking that step.

There are some stuff to think about when purchasing a TV-software for your computer. First of all: What are you interested in?

This basic question will answer what service you need. If you are interested in sports, check out how many sports channel the different softwares have. Some are focused on HD-movies and such, and less on sports.

If your interested in TV-shows, select one of the many softwares that has thousands of TV-episodes.

Some pro's with having a software like this, or satellite TV for PC:

+ No subscription fees
+ Only a set up fee
+ Many channels from around the world
+ On demand movies and shows
+ Easy interfaces to find what you like
+ Some even have radio stations!
