I've seen the question "How Do I get TV on My Laptop?" asked a lot lately. There are 2 ways of doing this. The first one implies a TV-tuner, this can be portable (with an USB cable) or a card (you plug in your laptop, or PC). The second one implies a small software that you download, and trough the internet you get live online satellite TV.
The first method on how to get TV on a laptop (or a PC) is, in my opinion, a completely useless and pricey method, but it works. You buy the piece of hardware (usually a couple of hundred dollars), you plug it into your computer, install the software, plug in your cable connection, search the channels and int the end you get to watch the same thing as you do on the television, the only difference is the fact that it's the computer monitor instead of the TV screen.
The second method is most surely the way to go. Let's look at the money first. Well most of the quality live online satellite TV services out there are less then 50$, this is a one time fee, meaning you pay the money once and you get TV on your laptop to watch till your eyes burst. I have forgotten my cable subscription because this thing is cheaper then 1 month worth of cable. I'm now saving more then 1000$ a year.
Another great thing about this method is the fact that you gain thousands of new channels. You will most surely get all your cable TV channels plus thousands more, it's very cool because a lot of these channels are specialized. This means you will get a lot of channels that show just: live sports, TV shows, series, music, news, adult. Along side all these channels you get a ton of radio stations as well. (I'm not much of radio listener but hey, it's there, it's free, who knows?)
Keep in mind that this service is available over the internet, this means there's no need for hardware like a satellite dish or receivers. If you don't need them then you can take your laptop anywhere. I always take my laptop with me when I go on my boring business trips, or when I'm really really bored at work. Live online satellite TV offers great accessibility.
In conclusion if you still don't know witch method on "how to get TV on your laptop" to choose, I would recommend live online satellite TV.
