Think of it as an on demand selection through a regular cable provider pumping up by Herculean proportions and you'll start to get the idea about PC TV.
* Recording ability. Most PC TV set ups enable the quick and easy recording of programs right over the computer. This means they can be recorded and easily burned to disk for viewing on a regular television via a DVD player. Think of a computer as the ultimate VCR when it comes to programming options and you get the idea of the power of PC TV. Of course, it's also fairly simple to hook the CPU up to a television set, too, for direct play.
* Pricing. PC TV tends to win hands down over more traditional methods for obtaining multiple channels. Even when PC satellite is brought into the mix, the monthly costs are much lower than regular cable or generally they are.
* Quality. Since most modern computers are designed to handle high-definition signals, the quality of PC TV can be very high. Plus, monitors that enable a crisp, clean picture are much less expensive than regular television sets.
* Freedom. There's no reason to be bogged down to X number of cable channels with PC TV opens up viewing from stations all over the world. Plus, if you don't like what's on in Algeria or beyond, there are download sites to fill in the gaps.
