Many people have misconceptions regarding how one can watch TV on the internet & many questions about how to use it. Since watching internet TV is galloping towards the sky in recent times, it is important that one knows a lot about these sites in order to get the best results. In fact, according to a recent survey, people are spending most of their time either in front of the TV or online. Also, it says that people have started to switch from cable TV to Satellite TV because of better consumer satisfaction. This article aims to answer the most frequently asked questions about the Internet TV.
Q. Is watching TV on the Internet the same as Cable TV or Satellite TV?
A. This is the most common question that people ask. Cable TV and Satellite TV offer their services for a monthly subscription fee. Other than this, there are installation costs & other fees such as maintenance fees. Also, there could be disruption in the transmission of the channels due to weather or due to locality. Internet TV is different in that you can watch all your programs LIVE for a one-time fee. Besides, as long as you have a good & strong internet connection, there will be absolutely no disruptions either.
Q. Is it cheaper than Cable TV or Satellite TV?
A. The main advantage of watching TV on the Internet is that there is a fixed one-time fee & no monthly subscription fees to be paid. But the disadvantage in this is that you can’t expect channels like ESPN to be broadcast all the time.
Q. What are the software and hardware requirements?
A. There is no specific hardware requirement. A Core 2 duo processor is advisable though not compulsory. A graphic card would be considered as an additional plus but again, is not necessary. All the required software is provided by the website itself & is available for download from its own site at no extra cost.
Q. Do you really get all the channels that they say you do?
A. To be honest, if you want to see all the 9000 channels (or whatever number of channels the Internet TV site claims to give) at the same time, then I am afraid it is simply not possible. Some channels will be off-air. But with that said, I have seen popular channels like HBO & ESPN broadcasting movies & sports respectively 75% of the times whenever I have logged in (even during peak hours).
Q. What if I am not satisfied by their service?
A. The best part of all these Internet TV sites is that they offer refunds for 30 days in case you are not happy with with their products. They promptly return your money if you give a valid reason as to why you did not like their product.
