Don't download PC Satellite TV software if the merchant doesn't answer all your questions. If he doesn't explain his money back guarantee or provide tech support, don't click that download button. Many times, people either get too anxious, believe in the hype, or get caught up in all those girly pictures displayed on the merchant's site. Smart buyers, which I'm sure you are one of them, don't fall for this scheme. Hopefully, you will see the trees before the forest and research the software further.

That said, lets get right down to the heart of things, starting with the term "Satellite TV." In no way, shape, or form will the software provide illegal access to Satellite TV or Cable TV channels. Anyone thinking this way was either misled or sadly mistaken.

How "Satellite TV" is used in this case is indeed misleading. Think of this as a marketing ploy to get millions of people across the globe interested. Just look up "Satellite TV" in the Wikipedia dictionary and you'll find it's true meaning. The PC Satellite TV software performs differently. It has nothing to do with converting, decoding, or descrambling signals. As a matter of fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with signals altogether.

Instead the software accesses, retrieves, and streams audio, video, clip and text media files from the World Wide Web--simply put. Therefore, it cannot and will not give you access to illegal paid TV channels. But again, we're only talking about legal software and not the illegal ones that may be available on the market today.

So if I still have your attention and haven't float your boat sort of speak, then I know you are my type of person. You want to keep everything safe, legit and legal, and I can't say that I don't blame you. Smart merchants know this and I'm sure they don't want to be penalized or serve time in prison for doing something stupid such as, breaking Copyrights, Intellectual-Property, and Digital Millennium laws.

If you can keep your mind focus not to get caught in all the hype, there's a good chance you'll make a well informed decision when choosing a good software. None of these instant TV on computer software will provide everything you want. But the right one can give you the next best thing to getting Satellite and Cable TV on a computer, which includes more channels and no monthly fees.

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to take a no-risk approach to downloading a PC Satellite TV software that meets your primary need. When doing so, you also want a way out, if indeed the product doesn't produce. This means knowing who processes the refund when requesting your money back. This could be either the merchant or a 3rd party payment/refund e-commerce processor.

I have read where people complained they were scammed, ripped-off, the merchant wouldn't give a refund, the TV player was junk, didn't work, poor picture quality, and so on. Some was true while the other stuff wasn't. What you must do to prevent negative things from occurring is do your homework. This means putting in some time and effort in researching the software and merchant.

Remember if you're going to be lazy, then you're going to be very disappointed in the end. I'm not going to tell you a software that I've researched and installed on my computer will work on your computer. You simply must learn more about compatibility and may have to perform some minor tweaking. But don't worry, besides getting the merchant's help, you also have access to many links on this site to help you. (see "Resources" in the right column)

So here's the thing, like any software if it doesn't work initially on your computer after installing it and all instructions including procedures were followed and completed correctly, chances are there could be a software-to-computer compatibility problem. Therefore, some minor tweaking must be performed. No merchant that I've seen thus far provides tweaking information and you have to buy their software first in order to get help. Now mine you, in rare cases will a PC Satellite TV software not work after it's installed.

In order to improve your chances in finding a top of the line software without the risks, I have done all the homework and research for you by listing the top leading software on the Net today. Before I downloaded my first software which was the Satellite TV for PC Elite, I researched it. Then I downloaded and tested it, and I still use to today. But I would be lying, if I said I didn't experience a problem.

After installing this software, it wouldn't work and I couldn't figure out why. I un-installed and re-installed everything. I read all the information and procedures, and I still couldn't get the TV player software to work. So I emailed tech support and within 24 hours they responded back via email. I was told perhaps my firewall was blocking my TV player from working. So I was given a link to a site to resolve the problem.

To make a long story short, I followed the instructions on how to give my firewall (McAfee Anti-virus software) permission to allow my PC Satellite TV player to work. The TV player started working and I have been enjoying Internet TV ever since. As a result, I have provided many links to help people resolve problems should they occur while waiting for a response from tech support. (see "Resources" in right column)

Whether you have a new or old Windows-based, MAC or Linux computer, in rare cases problems can occur. That's why it's important to read everything from the merchant's site to review sites to get some inside information, as well as learn the pros and cons. It's imperative to know the minimum system requirements, as well as downloading all the free software required to make the PC Satellite TV software work. It's extremely important that you download the correct free software version for your computer's OS (operating system).

I have provided all the links to downloading this free software, before you pay the merchant his fee. That way you will figure out early on, if the free software works for your computer. Also note when a merchant or someone tells you a software will work with a 56k modem, let that go in one ear out the other. Take my word and experience for what it's worth... you must use a broadband connection, either DSL or High Speed at 512kbps or higher, and higher the better.

Always remember, these software products are always improving and I believe someday they be perfected even more. But the real question you must be wondering is do they really work. The answer is a definite YES! But only to the extent you don't expect Satellite and Cable TV programming. You will receive a ton of entertainment. The software packages that were reviewed, one of them should address your primary need. Whether that's sports, movies, live TV, large variety TV, etc.

Any software you download will include many foreign (non-English) speaking channels as well as many, if not more, English speaking channels. PC Satellite TV software was designed with everyone in mind. But the large variety TV software will have more Local, National, and International channels. And you'll get more live TV channels.

Beware of software that includes movie downloads, not movie channels. Movie downloads may not be 100% legal in some cases. For instance, there may be new movies release that can be downloaded and viewed either before it hits the movie theaters, or during the first week of showtime. Therefore, you will have to use your own discretion when paying the small one-time fee. There are many popular software packages that include movie downloads.

So if you are OK with everything mentioned so far, then perhaps one of the top leading software will work for you. Your next step is the review process, which I have available for you. You can review and download PC Satellite TV software such as Satellite PC PRO, Satellite TV for PC (Elite, Pro, or Titanium), Satellite TV Cube, Direct PCTV, PCTV4ME, or Premium Satellite TV for PC (a.k.a. Premium TV for PC).

If variety TV isn't for you, and prefer a one dimensional software such as, movies only, live TV only, etc., just click the link above to get started.
