The Secrets to Getting All the Computer TV Entertainment You Ever Wanted - Even if Tech Handicapped!

If you want to connect your computer to a TV (TV to PC) or watch Internet TV or do both, this requires software and/or hardware to complete the job. And to get the best overall quality to your computer, requires knowing exactly where to find the best product. Home TV, Internet TV and Computer TV continues to evolve and gives users other options to fix their current lifestyles. Technology has given us hi-tech laptops, hand-held computers and mobile phones. Now with the best of computer media products, watching/listening to TV, video and radio on a computer has never been easier.

There are essentially three options to consider to watch computer TV but first you need to think over a few things. How much time and cost you're willing to spend can decide the best way to go. And knowing your computer's OS (operating system) can decide which product to choose. The common denominator to all three options relates to an Internet broadband connection. However if you rather not include the Internet for more computer TV mobility, then you can use an s-video card (PCTV card or TV-Out card) and coax cable to connect your TV to PC.

Also keep in mind--when reviewing the three options below, you can choose two of the three to watch both Internet TV and Computer TV.

Option #1:

PCTV or TV to PC Hardware. A revolutionary and new generation of hardware has the ability to let users connect to their basic cable, digital cable box or satellite receiver using a Windows-based or MAC desktop/laptop computer with an Internet High Speed connection. This hardware connection provides the best video quality out of the three options. Users can watch cable/satellite TV channels and videos as well as control their home TV, DVR, basic cable, digital cable box or satellite receiver via an Internet connection from any location.

This user-friendly interfacing allows users to watch anything they choose from any location while at home, work, college or Worldwide via the Internet. Furthermore, the user's home TV entertainment center can be off while accessing it to watch favorite TV show, sports, movies, etc. This gateway also offers a great solution for people who are constantly on the go and want to gain access to their home TV entertainment center. Users can also use their mobile phones (must be compatible) to watch this entertainment. This requires special software to work. The downside relates to cost which will run into the $100s.

Option #2:

Live Satellite TV Feeds Networks. For people who don't want to buy expensive hardware or download software to their computers to watch Internet TV, this option offers instant access to all types of free live feeds. Users can watch all types of sports feeds, TV shows feeds, news feeds, radio feeds, movie and video feeds, etc. A very easy and safe process and the newest gateway to Internet TV. Connect directly to a Live Satellite TV Feeds Network where everything can be accessed from one location for ease of use. Users save a ton of time looking for free live feeds themselves. The merchant allows users to access his site (software) via membership uaing any Windows-based/Vista, MAC or Linux desktop/laptop computer with a Internet broadband connection. This requires a small one-time fee only without any monthly or recurring fees.

When using a laptop with wifi or broadband card/USB, users receive more TV savings, freedom, flexibility and mobility. This method offers users a way to watch Internet TV from any location while at home or when traveling across the globe. However if users prefer their TV sets, they can use an s-video card (TV-Out video or PCTV card) with coax cable to connect their computers and TV sets. However, this does not have the other advantages as option #1 and video quality can be good to excellent with access to 1000s of free live feeds.

Option #3:

PC Satellite TV Software. This FTA (free-to-air) proprietary software will work with Windows-based/Vista, MAC or Linux computers with an Internet broadband connection. Very similar to option #2, but users can install the software to any number of computers. This provides instant access to 1000s of free live/recorded Internet TV channels and on-demand videos, such as all sports, movies, TV shows, computer games, radio, music, etc. These software packages come with many perks and were designed for primarily for Internet TV and video enthusiasts.

Some software packages include P2P (peer-to-peer) platforms, and all of them include free bonuses with software and other links to TV media websites. As a result, the end-user may end up with 28,000+ free-to-air channels and videos.  For a small one-time downloading fee, users can own the software with no other fees to pay. When using a laptop will allow watching Internet TV from any location while at home or on the go, including from any location across the globe.

Combine options #2 or #3 with option #1 and receive access to both home TV and Internet TV Locally, Nationally, and Internationally.

How do I record Dazzle DVC100 audio on Vista?

I've downloaded and installed Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder but it isn't working at the moment. I just want to record audio (red and white cables) but I can't seem to find a program that's compatible with it. I looked in recording devices and it didn't show up. Is there a way to make it show up in there? That would be VERY helpful!

I had the same problem trying to use the dazzle on a vista computer for someone. Go to Computer---> right click--- click properties and see if you have a vista with 32 bit or 64 bit. After you found out which one you have go to the Pinnacle website and download the correct driver. Reboot the computer and reconnect the device and it should work.
