Computer for watching online TV

Most of the computer online TV softwares will work seamlessly with your computer. Chances are that your pc or laptop is ready to receive and broadcast world TV over the internet.

Your computer RAM (Random Access Memory) needs to be atleast 520mb to enable your computer to have enough virtual memory to run the video files. Anything less will make your computer drag and give you a ‘not enough virtual memory’ error every time you try to run the satellite TV software.

A speed of 300Mhz is required for your computer pc or laptop to run the pc satellite TV software. This speed is necessary as it needs to be a match to your recommended internet connection. A better speed on your computer will ensure you have no problems accessing the internet TV channels.

You can view online TV on flat screen LCD or tube-type monitor. Both will give you desired results although the flat screen tends to make things a little fly. Most people enjoy watching online TV on flat screen LCD monitors. The normal type computer monitor will however do fine and you need not strain yourself buying a flat screen. I don’t use one personally.

Your computer CPU (Central Processing Unit) should be atleast Pentium III and above although Pentium II would also be fine. This need get you worried as most computers bought in the last three years should be three and above.

You will also need a high speed internet connection to download good quality online TV on to your pc. The best is broadband internet service. Cable connection seems to work best with online TV streaming although the wireless broadband also does the job fine.

Finally, you will need to get a good online TV software like PC 2007 Elite Edition. This particular one is retailed online at around $49.95 for a one time life time membership.
