Still more people find out about the possibility to watch TV on their pc. These services are on the rise and will become an interesting alternative to the traditional cable companies. You have to pay them between $80 to $100, and for that you get only about 100 channels. The commercials and Tellsell are included in the package without ever asking you.

The cable companies are still sleeping and do not realise the potential of watching TV channels on the computer. It looks a little the same as the way VoIP has changed the telecom market. It eats away a fair piece of the pie that in the past disappeared in the big bellies of the phone companies. I will discuss in this article some websites that enable you to watch TV on PC for free or for a one time sign up fee. I will us the term VidIP, Video over IP to address this new technology.

Finding the Best Sites to Watch TV on Your Computer It will still take quite some years before VidIP has knocked a dent the tank called cable companies. Nevertheless is there a growing demand for watching TV on PC. Only a small number of people are aware of the many offers that are available online. They are the ones who start saving money by ending their subscription fees and start using VidIP. But what of course is important, that you have an excellent broadband connection.

When you start searching on the web for a service, you will find many. Some of them excel in content, while others are much better with high quality streaming video. In my opinion you should go for the last benefit and not for a hug number of channels. It is not fun when you are watching your favourite show and the screen freezes every five minutes because your computer has to download new data. Those who charge you a one time sign up fee, give you software and a helpdesk in return. Don’t expect too much help from the freebies. You didn’t want to pay, so you are on your own.

Sports Channels MyP2P.eu is the website that offers a great number of sports channels compared to others. They don’t have many live TV channels and it excels with the “Live Sports” section. An additional feature they have is that you can choose your favourite sport and view then all the live games that are scheduled for broadcast. It is a global site, so you can even look at sports that are less popular in the US, but have a great crowd in other countries. Main categories are American football, baseball, basketball, cricket, cycling, football/soccer, golf, ice hockey, motor sports, rugby and tennis. In the section other sports you can find horse racing, snooker, volleyball, badminton, biathlon and squash. It just depends what tournaments there are around the globe.

Popular TV Programs and Channels When you belong to the group of people that don’t want to miss their favourite show, then is time to visit TVChannelsFree.com regularly. They offer 3600 channels from more then 60 countries worldwide. It may be necessary that you need a plug in for your computer to view them. This can be Windows Media Player, Quicktime or RealPlayer. Many have this already automatically installed, so I don’t expect it will cause much problems for you. Otherwise you can download it from the internet.

With Inner-Live.com you can find all your favourite TV shows. It has a very large selection of channels and shows. Besides this can you also enter a chat room and discuss with other viewers what you are watching. It is only one that I know of that offers this feature. Some of us are addicted to the news and don’t want to miss anything that happens in the world. When you belong to this group of people, then you can use the powerhouse at LiveStation.com. It offers good quality news broadcasting from the major news organizations around the world. You can watch BBC World News, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg Television, CNN, CNBC, Euronews, NASA TV and many more. Also they offer to watch channels on your iPhone.

One Time Pay Websites The alternative to all the free websites is to pay a one time set up fee. You receive software to get easy access and a 24/7 helpdesk to solve any problems. The price is usually around $50. So when you have problems installing the software or at other times can not watch for an unspecified reason, there is always someone there who can help you out. The other thing I noticed when I was surfing on the internet, that some websites are not safe. My Norton Safe Site checker flags them red because they are infected with viruses or worse, have key logger software installed. So keep your own anti-virus software up to date when you want make use of a free service.

I still am still a ‘plug and play’ guy, and therefore I chose for a paid service. It is always nice that you can contact someone when things are not working as they should. It is up to you to decide what is more important, saving money and being annoyed when it doesn’t operate as expected, or pay a few dollars and have at all times someone available who can help you out.
