An introduction to internet TV
|
|
|
|
Internet TV - there's the hard way and.....
|
|
|
Recently, a good,"formula one mad" friend of mine told me how he telephoned his son in the UK and asked him to turn on the live race. Then, they connected to each other on Skype using web cams. His son turned his web cam around towards the TV and they watched the race, together - live!
|
|
|
It just goes to show, how resourceful we can be when motivated in the right way but, does it really have to be that complicated and can we improve on, what must have been, a pretty awful viewing experience?
|
|
|
In this series, there are ten articles about all aspects of Internet TV. Each one of the articles is linked at the foot of this page.
|
|
|
In the articles, I am going to tell you:- how to connect your computer to your TV and record and save your favourite shows, how to receive live TV over the Internet and watch it on your TV screen, I am going to tell you what hardware is needed, tell you where to purchase the hardware and set it up and I am going to test and report on some of the most common devices and pieces of hardware. Readers will be surprised to hear just how little it can cost to turn your PC into a media centre!
|
|
|
I will introduce you to some of the many web sites where you can legally download films and TV programs and help you to set up your computer to automatically download your favourite TV programs over-night.
|
|
|
I will test the various devices, pieces of hardware and download sites with all the various Internet service provider's connections and report on their performance and best download speeds.
|
|
|
I am going to introduce you to a relatively inexpensive method of obtaining high Internet download speeds so, that you can quickly download films, TV programs, music and/or, watch UK TV.
|

The industry is turning towards TV on-demand because, each of us may watch TV for just 2-3 hours per day and during this time, why shouldn't we watch exactly what we want to watch? If, like me, you regularly find yourself sat in front of the TV, waving the remote around, knuckles white, as you "bash the buttons" to try and find something decent to watch, the linked articles below will be of great interest to you!

We went for the set up and pay (£5) per month. It cost (£20) for cables to connect our laptop computer to our TV and now, we can watch UK TV through our Internet connection.
