here are two popular methods to watch satellite TV for free on PC. One is using a PCTV card and the other using a PC satellite TV software.

PCTV Cards are TV capture cards that come in two types of installation. One is internal which must be installed inside your computer and the other is external which are break-out boxes (BoBs) that are attached to your PC using a USB port and cable.

Internal PCTV cards are cheaper than external cards. But no matter which one you use, be prepared to fork out anything between $100 and $300 for a quality card from ATI TV, Plextor, Hauppauge, Pinnacle, IO Magic PC and other established brands.

PC satellite TV software is a hugely popular way to capture satellite TV on PC. Since it is a software application, it can be downloaded online and installed directly onto the computer without any external hardware. This PC application allows you to get more than 3000 free satellite TV channels from across the globe. The variety of programs range from LIVE sports, TV news, entertainment, documentaries, movies to kids channels. This software is a steal at $50.
