Yes, if you connect the video output of your computer to your TV.  For example, I connect my laptop to my large TV using an HDMI cable.

Yes.  Notice in the screen shots below there is a “Full Screen” option on the toolbar.  When you click this it fills up the entire computer monitor or television screen.

Yes because the television comes through the Internet so all you need is a high-speed (DSL or cable Internet broadband) Internet connection.

Do I really get 3,500 channels?
I haven’t counted them but it is a lot of channels.  A lot!  Just the number of U.S.A. television channels is huge.  Admittedly some are off-air at night and some simply don’t work but most of them do work.  I recommend bookmarking the channels that you like, which puts them in your Favorites folder for easy access.

Why do you say it’s free?
Because there is no hardware to buy and install (no TV tuner cards) and because there are no monthly bills like with cable TV or satellite TV, people often call Windows PCTV “Free PCTV.”  There is the one time fee for the software, but the television does not cost.

Satellite TV And Internet Windows PCTV

Many service providers offer both satellite TV and internet for their customers; many companies offer a discount to their customers which purchase both services together.  If a person already had satellite television would have an easy time upgrading their internet to satellite DSL service, because the customer would already have most of the necessary equipment.

Satellite TV and internet packages often offer value to the customer because, by combining their services, often also with cellular phones or “land line” type phones, the companies themselves are able to offer lower prices to customers who purchase more than one of the available services together.  Besides the price, convenience is found in having many services all billed from one company, charges appearing on one bill, and the bill for all services being due at one time.

Satellite TV and internet packages are ideal for technology loving and technology challenged alike; many services offer easy to use and follow basic instructions and equipment, also have many customizable features for more technologically savvy.  The internet available through satellite providers will be much quicker than dial-up modem service, because it is DSL, which is a service much like cable internet service using an always on internet connection delivered through a modem.

The satellite TV and internet providers will often offer comparable or even less expensive prices than their cable television providing competitors; besides offering discounts for purchasing services together, the satellite and internet can be available in different service levels depending on the customer’s specific needs.

If a person needs very fast internet and wants all the movie channels in addition to the basic and extended programming, the company can offer these at reasonable rates.
Additionally if the other extreme were required, basic internet and satellite television service could also be provided at a less expensive price than could be found through another type of provider such as cable companies or telephone companies.

Purchasing satellite television and internet together is also a great option for people who may not be able to find these types of premium entertainment options in their area.  Satellite television and internet services are often available in many more areas than cable or even telephone services are; people can even enjoy these luxuries when traveling or camping.

Of all the technological advances which entertain the American people, among the most enjoyed are satellite television and internet; with these people are able to keep connected, get up to date or unwind from a stressful time.  Television and internet using, for example, Windows PCTV, have changed the way people connect to each other and disconnect from their day; finding these pastimes at a reasonable price can make them much more enjoyable.

Basic Satellite TV Equipment by Windows PCTV

Compared to the complexity of creating and producing television programming, the sci-fi sounding prospect of transmitting them over satellite TV equipment is much simpler. After all, every type of television program presents its own type of problem while all satellite television is pretty much alike. Once the satellite itself is orbiting the earth, there’s nothing to it.

Up, Up And Right Here

The very difficult process of selecting the channels that will be included in the subscription package is usually the hard part. The programming people who create the content for those channels all do the same thing. They use an uplink to encrypt, compress and send the programming to the appropriate satellite. This process is the same for taped dramas as for live sports.

The satellite uses a downlink to send the programming back down to earth. On its way to earth, the signal is captured by satellite dishes which decrypt the channels that are contained in the customer’s subscription package. This step involves pretty basic satellite TV equipment. Your neighbors will have dishes and hookups very similar to yours no matter what subscription package they have. The signal moves from the dish to the TV by way of special cable. Speaking of cable, subscribers to cable TV get their signal the same way. The same kind of satellite TV equipment picks up the download from space, decrypts it and sends it to the cable station. The station sends the signal for the customer’s subscription package by way of cable to the customer’s home TV.

The difference between cable and satellite TV equipment is obvious. The cable customer receives his programming from the big satellite dishes at the cable TV company while the satellite customer has his own dish. Today’s satellite TV equipment only allows a single channel to come into the home at one time. The channel can be viewed by more than one television set at one time, but if the family wants to view two different programs at once, then two satellite dishes are needed.

The signal that arrives from the cable company can be split to allow each TV to view a different channel or any number can view the same one. Viewers believe that satellite TV equipment can fall victim to signal obstruction and they’re right. However, obstructions caused by weather can affect the signal going to the cable customers just as easily. No matter what kind of satellite TV equipment you have, the choices and options are huge.
