what software can i use o watch tv on my pc without a tv card?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

i know there is a program but what? e.g skysports 1 or e4

Almost all of the major networks will let you watch past episodes of their programs right from their sites. I watch more TV on my PC than I do on my TV.

If you have a video card with inputs, I guess…you’ll have to use an external tuner of course.

It is a scam. You don’t need to download software to watch TV on your PC. Read review of free sites that provide FREE streaming video:

You don’t have to download anything to get free video online and it is actually safer not to download anything.

questions about pc tv tuner cards?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

How do they work? Will I need satellite or cable service (DirecTV or Comcast for example)? And is it just plug it in, install the software drivers, and watch tv?

Thanks!

Most PC TV tuner cards can receive signal from a cable provider such as Comcast or AT&T’s Uverse service or over-the-air. If doing over-the-air TV and since all TV stations are broadcasting
digital now, make sure your tv tuner can receive it. If no then you must get that digital converter
box.

Is satellite tv for my pc really a good deal?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I just downloaded some software for recieving satellite tv on my pc. The only drawbacks that I have encountered so far is that most of the channels are foiegn and the wording is in another language and the specified channels that are shown can’t be reicieved i.e. HBO, Cinemax and some other movie channels. Nothing as far as local USA channels except C-span, lots of chrisitan channels and some junk channels. I feel I have been ripped off.

The one I bought on ebay is all in chinese, and some of the links just seem to mess you about, instaed of giving you what you expect. The only good thing is that I only paid a couple of pounds for it, so it’s no great loss. But I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.

cant find sunday football on satellite tv on pc?

Hi there. I jusst ordered (downloaded) sattelite tv to pc software, it installed fine and im on their website…under sports category there is a ton of channels but I cannot find football?? (it promised all the big games). So whatever games are NOT being shown on TV are the good ones and the ones I am looking for…it says it has over 3000 channels…has to be on there, riiight?? **yes, waiting on response from tech support***

Satellite TV on PC is considered by many a SCAM.
Lots of channels, but you really don’t want to watch any of them.

Do you think there will ever be one global language?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

With the proliferation of American english via the internet and satellite TV, and ‘new’ words being the same in every language e.g. texting, blogging etc will different languages ultimately give way to one, common one in say, 200 years time?

It’s already pretty much decided to be English. Very common throughout the world in the language of international law, culture, relgion and science.

No scientific paper has a ghost of a chance to be accepted internationally until it is translated into English. The same with great literature. Most if not all international treaties have to be published in English in order to have standing in the world community.

There is no grand conspiracy involved either, despite what the French and Iranians may believe. English is simply a very effective language with a vast volcubuary and one that readily adopts new words from other languages to express new ideas or concepts, or which creates them from stratch.

English is already the global language and it is likely to be the vastly predominate one within 50 years to the exclusion of minor ones in small nations.

am I supposed to be able to get the internet like this? 10 points!?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

just got a directtv dvr, and in order to get on demand movies on direct tv, it says you must connect the dvr to the internet, and there is a place in the back of the direct tv dvr box where you can connect a local area network cable (I assume the other end should connect to a computer to get the internet). But whenever I try to connect via the dvr with a local area network cable I just get a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point inside of it next to the local area connection icon, and it says "limited or no connectivity." I have had this problem when I was in college, and simply had to manually release/renew my IP address or refresh the network to fix it. But I did that, and the local area connection still will not work. I also right clicked it and chose repair, and unplugged the local area network cable, left it unplugged for about an hour and tried to connect again, but still I get the yellow exclamation point. So is there a reason why I get the yellow exclamation point when trying to connect to the internet via the dvr box? A way to fix it? Or am I even supposed to be able to get the internet like that, and if not then what do they mean when they say "connect your dvr to the internet"?
Keep in mind that other than trying to use the dvr, I do not have internet access at home (I am at the library now).

The network cable you are using should connect from your DVR to an internet connection, such as a cable modem or a router. You could probably connect ‘through’ a computer that has an internet connection, but you would need to make sure that the computer’s internet connection was shared.

If you are connecting to a modem or router you will need to make sure your network cable is a patch cable. If you are connecting through a computer with a shared internet connection you will need to use a crossover cable.

To identify which cable type you have, hold the ends so that the connectors are side by side. Check the order of the colours from left to right. If the colours are in the same order on each connector then you have a patch cable. If they differ then it is a crossover cable.

However, this all depends on you having an internet connection in the first place. If you do not have one, you cannot connect at all.

Hope this helps.
