PC Guy's Review of Satellite TV Software by Jerry Freeman
The title says basically what this article is about. This is a PC guys' review of satellite TV software. Now I know there are a lot of reviews out there, some of them in the form of testimonials that promote the softwares themselves. In my experience, software and hardware tend to screw up. It's the unreliability of both that keep people like me employed. If your PC is cranking up or if a program is misbehaving, people like me get phoned to do diagnostic check ups and to do my thing.
Since I'm a satTV lover, I have had time and patience to look around the Internet, including in user forums, on how certain PC satellite TV software behave and I review them here, although I reveal no brand names. I cover in this piece in sequence the benefits of getting it, how to get access, and the usual problems. I hope this helps.
Satellite TV is a kind of misnomer. It doesn't really matter where the signal was broadcasted from. What matters is that the signal gets to your PC through the Internet. So more technically correct term is Internet Television. But never mind that. The benefits of getting satellite TV outweigh any misinformation the populace may have gotten about it. Anyone with a PC can review the software, but not as useful as I do it in this article.
The benefits are obvious. The thousand channels satellite TV provides is a much-needed thing. Something that exceeds the menu of offerings your regular cable and satTV provider gives. The provider in the normal sense are those who con you into buying their satellite dishes that you need to hook up to your TV or PC and then you suffer monthly payment rates. With a satellite TV of the Internet streaming kind, you have no monthly rates. Just a one-time payment for the software you download and install. You don't even pay for a technician to do anything for you. The installation is usually so easy.
To get satTV in your PC, you need to check if you have the following. A PC with at least Pentium III processor, and a good graphics card. Broadband internet connection. Money to pay for the satellite TV software. Some patience to download the software and install it. That's it. So easy. Now we get on to this PC guy's review of softwares.
Not all softwares are born equal. This review is actually a guide as to what to look for. What I recommend as features are those I find ugly and undesirable in other softwares I found. So when I recommend, that would usually be the idea. And a lot of people have found the ideal software they now use.
First off is ease of installation. You want you software to run the moment you double click it to install. You want to be just clicking and clicking on "next." You don't want software asking you where to download, where to unzip the files, if you want to install so and so, and a lot of other options you may not know about. You don't want things complicated. You just want to watch satelliteTV.
Second is an easy-to-learn user interface. You don't want something complicated it gives you headaches trying to figure things out. Third is stability. You don't want software that crashes or hangs up or complains that it conflicts with other programs. You don't' want cryptic error messages that make you angry you want to call up customer service and vent your anger at them.
Fourth is the range of channels the software provides. The available channels could range from two thousand to four thousand. Might as well choose the one that offers the most channels while balancing ease of installation and use.
There. Now that you know what to look for, you already know, without my specifying the software brands, what I think are bad traits of the software on the market now. This is just one PC guy's review of satelliteTV. Don't take it like a Bible.
