In the world of today the technology offers more and more possibilities. This technology also adds new possibilities to the world of entertainment. For instance watching TV online, i.e. via your pc, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Free online tv is a reality that lead to a new wave in the world of entertainment.

The PCTV-card uses the available infrastructure to decode the satellite-tv-signals, so you can watch satellite-tv on your laptop or computer. With the help of the easy to download and simple instructructions it's possible to get access to this free form of entertainment. These satellite-tv-signals are called Free-To-Air or FTA tv-signals. Satellite-tv-stations show their tv programs via FTA and are not coded for the people. When you have a broadband connection it's just a matter of following the instructions and within a few minutes you have satellite tv on your pc or laptop available.

Please check the availability of the right pc hardware, operating system requirements and compatibility of the card with your pc or laptop before following the instructions for watching satellite tv on your pc or laptop! After installing the PCTV software on your computer a user-friendly interface will be displayed on the screen with a number of small menus and control buttons.

The satellite-tv-software is compatible with almost all Windows-versions (Windows ME, 98, 2000 or XP ) and the operating systems UNIX and LINUX. Another requirement is the availability of at least a Pentium II 333 MHz processor. Other devices that enlarge the user experience are: a superior soundcart, a videographic card and -at least- good speakers. A PC surround system finishes it all.

With satellite tv via the internet you can always watch tv wherever you are, without any (extra) monthly subscription fees. As long as you have an internet connection.
