So around everyone that you’ve talked to are all excited about the latest softwares in the market i.e. Internet TV softwares that make it possible for you to watch tons of satellite TV on your PC. However, before you jump onto the bandwagon, please consider some important considerations. You should not purchase the Internet TV software if you belong to the following category of person(s):-
1. Your Residential Territory Do not Possess Good Internet Connection
As a good internet connection (cable or broadband) is one of the key requisite for a effective and premium 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 district is devoid of such Internet connections. Having said that, running your software on normal dial up is still technically possible, although you may witness rough, deformed and interruptive results that will cause a lot of disappoinment and frustration. This is not recommended.
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 have no intention and no financial ability to improve it, then this whole idea of watching Satellite TV on the PC is just not for you.
3. You currently have Equipments Installed 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 tons of money on the expensive equipments and monthly fees. Then again, if you are extremely wealthy and like to flaunt your wealth, then this isn’t much of a consideration to you in the first place.
4. You are a Couch Potato
You only enjoy watching TV from your favourite Italian leather couch and only enjoy 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 conclusion 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 continuously for 10 minutes each time and at the interval of 30 minutes between commercials.
So think carefully to decide if you are the kind of person described above. If indeed so then please don’t waste your money and effort on the Internet TV softwares, which are not meant for you.
