Since there are numerous cable TV and satellite TV alternatives, in this article we thought we decided to explore another alternative to watch TV. Watching TV on the net is becoming more common so we wrote an article about watching live television on the web.

Viewing TV on the internet isn’t new, but just recently it has increased dramatically in popularity because of improvements in technology and the amount of channels. Before it was very challenging to find any of the most popular channels and the quality was extremely poor.

The technology has advanced to the level where you can locate thousands of channels and watch all of them in outstanding quality. It’s impressive the improvements that have occurred and it’s not surprising that many people are watching more TV on the net.

So how can you watch live TV on the net?

As you probably have guessed, you need to install a special internet television software program on your computer. There’s a number available to select from, so here’s a couple of features you need to search for and pay attention to.

Obviously, search for a large selection of TV channels. You should get access to thousands of channels including the most popular networks.

Another feature that I saw is the ability to schedule and record whatever show you want. It’s kind of like a “Tivo” – you are able to record whatever program you want so that you are able to watch any show whenever you wish. Not every program offers this so pay attention when you’re shopping around. You should also have the option to connect your computer to your Television set if you want to watch it on the big screen.

Lastly, look for a program that you need only pay an initial one-time fee and where you won’t be billed any monthly fees. This way you aren’t billed any monthly charges which obviously makes it a much better value when compared to cable or satellite TV. If you see a monthly fee, don’t buy it! You be able to find a better deal.

Watching live TV on the web is a tremendous way to catch your favorite shows. For in around $40-$50 you get complete access to your favorite channels to watch directly on your computer. It’s important to note, it is extremely addicting!
