Research has shown a small number of people switching from traditional TV to Internet television and videos. But only a small number of them have cut their Cable/Satellite TV subscriptions or downsized. Surprisingly enough, the switch over had a lot to do with more choices with less programming restrictions.

To answer the question, "what software do I need to watch TV on my PC," the decision making generally boils down to whether to download a totally free TV player software or comb the Internet in search of free channels and Internet media websites or choosing a top Internet TV software package.

A totally free TV player software is best suited for those who have no money to invest and don't put much emphasis on value. Factor in no support is offered for players and the value lowers even more.

There are 100s, perhaps 1000s of free software out there and when searching for "what software do I need to watch TV on my PC," good luck. Of course, some are better than others. The totally free TV players usually come with 100s or 1000s of pre-loaded Internet TV channels, radio stations, etc. But often than not, they don't cater to ones taste for a specific type of entertainment.

For those who have plenty of time on their hands and consider themselves the do-it-yourselfer typed, they generally scour the Internet for free channels, radio stations, videos, etc. This means spending a lot of time going through many media websites, forums, reviews and other sources to find whatever is of interest, as well as downloading many free TV players. The other task comes with trying to organize everything on their hard drive after words to retrieve the media later.

When taking this approach only a small number of people have the time to spend searching 1,000s, if not tens of thousands free media content over the Internet--now this really takes some work. The learning curve is higher and if you were a betting wo/man, good chance you win the bet as they will not get the best of Internet TV has to offer.

A more practical way is downloading the best TV on PC software package that caters to ones need. And can streamline, organize, as well as deliver 1000s of free channels, videos, radio stations, and music media instantly to a PC. Lets say, for instance, someone is a sports enthusiast or live TV show/episodes enthusiasts, or movie fanatic. There is software out there that caters more to what a person prefers in Internet media entertainment.

In other words, this brings more value to the table when vendors offer lifetime memberships that include free on-going software upgrades, channel updates, and tech support. The value increases because as technology and Internet media changes over the Net, the paid software will continue to be like-new through upgrades and updates.

Getting back to the question, "what software do I need to watch TV on my PC," look for a top software package with the following:

1. Hi-tech TV player

2. All-in-one member's area

3. Lifetime membership with software upgrades, channel updates and support

4. Bonuses that include free software for recording and uploading channels/videos to DVDs, iPod, etc., and 1000s of additional Internet channels including other free media with great entertainment

5. Offers access to 78+ Countries so that no matter what the language is the software will help deliver free media from the Country of choice

The best proprietary (shareware) TV player not only should come with 1000s of free premium, HDTV and on-demand channels, and videos, including radio stations and music, but should have many perks.

The perks should include a 'scan for available channels' so the user can update his/her own channels from the vendor's media database. This saves time. Rather than waiting for a vendor to update channels, the user can get it done with a stoke of a key.

Other feature enhancements include, play, record, forward, back, save to favorites, full-screen and other commands to navigate the TV player. And that's not all, there's TV on PC software packages out there that include video tutorials to help newbies even more.

These are all of the things to look for that answers the question, "what software do I need to watch TV on my PC." Paid software offers a higher value with more perks than doing everything the free-way. For a one-time fee, just under $40.00, all the features and perks mentioned above can be found in a top leading TV on PC software package.
