Since the beginning of its introduction in 2005, the disputable Satellite TV for PC continues to be one of the most sought after software among its peers. Perhaps that has something to do with its hi-tech TV player or remarkable marketing campaign. But in this case, it could be both.

The officials at SatelliteSoft certainly have made some bold and dashing statements that have dazzled many people while creating skepticism in others. Which brings us to these questions. Does it deliver on the merchant's promise and turns a Windows-based computer into a super TV, including providing safe, legal access to Internet TV? Can users download and install the software TV player without the risk and being scammed? Don't expect the answer "No" to apply to any of the above questions.

As the TV for PC software continues its journey to remain as a top seller, there comes plenty of hype and misleading content particularly when using the term "Satellite TV." Since Satellite and Cable TV networks convert signals from the air which provides the TV entertainment we enjoy, these Internet TV players (software) do the exact opposite.

The Satellite TV for PC, also called proprietary software, can be defined as a specially designed hi-tech Internet media tool or TV player programmed to access, retrieve, and stream 1000s of clips, text, audio and video media files from the Public Domain and World Wide Web. The streaming affect makes the TV player intriguing as it steams the channel (media file) into smaller pieces, then brings the media file across the computer's I.P. address right to the computer.

This streaming process allows the viewer to watch a TV show immediately on his/her browser or TV player. In other words, viewers don't have to wait for the entire downloading process to finish in order to watch a particular channel. Also the user owns the proprietary software, in this case, the TV for PC, and can install the software on as many computers as s/he likes. However, the merchant's Copyrights policy must be adhered to.

Many times these products do work initially and perform well. I downloaded and tested the Elite edition as well as other top Internet TV software. But the Pro, Elite and Titanium Editions will only work with Windows-based computers. In addition, you don't get a stand-alone software because it relies on other software to work. As for the majority of Satellite Internet TV software on the Net today including the TV for PC, they rely on the free Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and Microsoft .Net Frameswork.

You can pick any one of the top Internet TV software on the market today, download and install it, and under most circumstances they will work. Consequently, in rare cases, the TV player may not perform right away after installing it. Does this mean a SCAM? No! Lets say the user followed the downloading and installation instructions correctly, then installed all the necessary free software according to the user's operating system but the TV for PC software didn't work. In rare cases, a software-to-computer compatibility problem could occur.
