I have always wanted to watch television on my pc or notebook. In fact, several years ago I purchased a tv tuner that plugged into my laptop with a USB connector. It worked, although the picture wasn’t great. But, it was a large clumsy external device with its own transformer, and I also needed cable access to a tv signal source. That was a serious pain for anyone like myself who likes to travel light.

More recently it became possible to buy laptops with inbuilt tv tuners, but they were usually high end models. Sometimes the tv tuner came at the expense of other features. Of course, it was simpler with a pc, because a tv tuner card could be added relatively easily. But in any case, a conventional external tv signal source was still required.

I travel a lot, and I don’t know how many times I’ve been stuck in a hotel room when some live event was on somewhere in the world, and I couldn’t watch it because the hotel just didn’t have the right channel. Having a tv tuner didn't help, because I was still dependent on the television source available at the hotel.

I always thought it would be ideal if I could just plug in my laptop and watch whatever tv service and whatever channel I wanted whenever I felt like it. The internet seemed the only logical source for that kind of "access anywhere" data.

Well, I am delighted with my latest discovery! It looks like modern technology has finally come to the rescue. With the advent of high speed internet, improved computers, and the latest developments in software, it has now become possible to watch any TV you want on your pc or laptop anywhere in the world.

You can now buy "tv for pc" software which installs from the internet with a simple download onto your pc or laptop. It gives viewing access to at least 3000 channels worldwide, in almost any language. There are premium versions of the same software that will allow you to view over 4000 channels. It's hard to imagine that anyone would be unable to find what they are looking for with such a large selection. What is even more remarkable is that you pay just a one-time membership fee for the software, and you can watch the tv channels for free - forever!

What makes this software such a significant advance is that it does not require any additional hardware, like the tv tuner card earlier systems required. This is because it uses an internet based source, not a satellite dish, antenna or cable.

It's no surprise that it works best with higher speed broadband connections, but it will work with dial-up.

Its foreign langauge capability is one of its strongest points. So much software is targeted to native English speakers, but this software allows the user to access programs in a wide range of foreign languages.

Frankly, it’s hard to say enough about the convenience and benefits of this software. At the very least I suggest you give it a try. The software manufacturer offers a money back guarantee, so it’s a no-brainer really.
