what is the best choice overall with special consideration to price. I’ve always just had regular cable and had many wonders about satellite for example how often does the sat go out during storms etc. What kind of contract am I getting into. Is satellite really the way to go? If so which company? I’m wanting HD tv also.
I see alot of "free this free that" but then it says in small text it’s only for 6 months. do you have to sign a contract for like a year comittment or anything?

I´ve just been offered 20 $ one time payment for 3500 channels HD direct to my P.C , including an upgrade for the film channels , just press download now and register , sounds too easy , i frighten easily to internet downloads like this , has anyone out there had positive experience in this sort of offers , I´m english living in Catalonia and have no english T.V at home so if it works well its worth downloading , the site is http://dishtvforpc.com (satellite direct to P.C) please help stopping me doing another stupid mistake on my computer !
P.S Thanks for the advice people , zattoo sounded great , but it won´t allow me to watch britsh T.V channels unless i´m actually in UK , which i´m not

I have 32 Bit Windows Vista Home Prem SP1. With Win Media Center I am trying to view TV programming on my PC using its own monitor as the TV display. This is a multimedia desktop (HP Paviliion) so it has all the goodies.

Before I proceed, I do NOT have cable, no satellite. With my regular TVs I get my programming from my rabbit ears. Also I’ve been hearing about a desktop box which I clearly don’t have.

So the question is, is there some way I can see TV programming on my PC with just regular TV antennas or do I need special antennas or this infamous desktop bo?. Cable and satellite are not options. Help!

When i saw the adventures of sharkboy and lavagirl on payperview, i needed to connect some wires to be able to see it in 3D. If i live in canada and i watch disney channel on satellite, i need to know if i need to do anything to my tv so i will be able to see the movie properly.
i have glasses..all i wanted to know was if i needed connections…im not retarded

i currently have cable but my husband wants the nfl things direct tv offers, i live in southeast texas where it rains quite alot, so my question is how sensitive is satellite, will i be sorry if i switch to direct tv?

So I want to record TV onto my laptop. I have Rogers Digital Cable and a Toshiba laptop (Satellite A300 special Edition) running Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center. I says I need a TV tuner but after some research I learned that the cable box works as a tuner. Is this true?

If so, Im using an S-video cable to hook the box to my laptop and im plugging the audio cables into my microphone jack. Is this the configuration I need?

If that works, how to I set everything up to enable it to record, like how to I set up the path for the box to record to the laptop and do I need any software or anything for it?

I currently have a Galaxy 25 (i think now 19) satellite that has great arabic programming

I was wondering if there was any other FTA satellites that are available in USA have arabic channels. Could you give me a list of satellites that offer free programming in the Northeast USA? Lyngsat’s website is confusing.
galaxy 25 is at 97 west. thanks though.

For eg. we r watching the live telecast of any event in the world on tv so how much time wud the signal from satellite take, from & back to the earth. If there is any special formula plz tell me.

I want to know is there any TV for naturists for example on satellite or somewhere else ?

It takes an RG-6 or Composite input, and can outpout to RG-6, Composite, or S-Video. And, it can control a cable box using either Serial or Infrared. What is special about satellite that prohibits the control of the box? Or, is it just the programming TiVo is locked out of picking up because of their divorce from Direct TV?

Comcast is super expensive where I live so I want to try a special Direct TV deal however I am told when there are thunderstorms the satellite does not work and when I get my bill I will find out that I actually did not save anything. Any advice?

I cant find any on ebay.

I found this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toshiba-Laptop-AC-Adapter-Charger-Satellite-PRO-A200-AU_W0QQitemZ280344294745QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Laptop_Accessories?hash=item280344294745&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:975|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

would that be right for my laptop?

also if your selling one (only buying over ebay) please tell.
It’s a Satellite pro?

is that waht you mean.

lol sorry I’m not good with these stuff.

I ordered a new remote from Dish Network the other day for my second room because my first remote went to hell. When I got it I set it to my TV & it worked fine for that, but it will not do anything for the satellite. I tried new batteries & I even switched the little tab & tried it in the first room with the receiver & still no dice. I got a new remote for room 1 a couple of months ago & it worked as soon as I took it out of the box & put batteries in it.

Is there something special I have to do since this is a second room remote? Any suggestions?

Yes I did, thank you- I am not an idiot.

I have looked at DirecTV, Dish, and Globecast. They did not offer it so I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions. I already subscribe to Czech T V online, but I'd prefer to have it via satellite if possible. Thanks!
