Watch Satellite TV On PC: An Advance Satellite TV Technology

By Ashley Patrick

The satellite TV on PC which started in the year 1995 has become more advanced in speaking of the technologies. It offers people a lot of channels to choose from, varying from the movies to noon time shows and much awaited TV programs anywhere you are. There are different requisites to come up with that desire, first things first is you need install special television hardware on your PC, for viewers to be able to watch satellite TV on PC. This hardware is known as the PCTV card.

This external card allows the individual to attach the equipment to their computer through USB cable and port. Broadband connection is also necessary or others such as telephone or cable connection and or wireless service, quite different with the methods being used upon using the internal card. You need the help of PCI express slot in your computer.

These analog signals are converted into digital signals that allow users to even listen to the radio as well as watching satellite TV on PC. Two main factors would actually affect the quality of television channels and these are the broadband speed and another is would be the configuration setting of the computer.

Broadband speed is very important because this could potentially affect the signals you will need to go on while watching satellite TV on PC. The broadband speed connection must be excellent enough o provide you the signals needed while watching. If you a have DSL line, you must have at least 512 kbps for you t be able to have a quality viewing. It would be better if you have a much greater speed that 512 kbps. But PCTV cards are flexible that it can even relate to the minimum speed.

The system that operates the software must have at least Windows 98 and the CPU of the computer must have also at least or not lower than 1GHZ. Next is the RAM must be about 128 MB to experience quality and fast connection and the over all performance of the PC. The card needs to be installed together with the CD and the viewing software.

If an audio is needed for the computer you will need a sound card separately. If you love to record your TV programs, you will need a high-end PCTV card. Well of course a bigger budget for this.
