How To Watch Cable TV Online
Executive summary by Anthony Lee
For Cable Internet TV, a dedicated website receives the cable transmission from the broadcasting center and then uploads the data to a web server. With advances in computing and Internet technology, watching your favorite TV shows, or movies anywhere in the world where there is an available PC with an Internet connection is now a reality.Aside from watching cable TV online via a cable broadcasting website, there are other methods by which you can view cable on your PC.
Cable TV is streamed to a PC in 3 ways:
1. Online Cable broadcast
This is Cable Internet TV in its standard form. As mentioned earlier, the cable content is sent to a web server and is made available online. This method requires no additional hardware to be purchased, although this will requires a mid to fast broadband Internet connection due to the size of the video being streamed.
2. Using a TV Tuner
One is by attaching a coaxial cable to the PC's TV tuner card and use the monitor to view your favorite cable programs via your PC. This method does not require an Internet connection since the broadcast is sent directly through the coaxial cable. This method is no different than setting up your home TV for cable.
3. 'Slingbox'
And the last alternative, which is fairly recent invention, is by using a separate device called a 'Slingbox'. This device is able to broadcast the signal to any video output device, like your PC for instance, once the 'Slingbox' is attached to your home TV with the cable connection.

Executive summary by Simon Gibroweski
If you are interested in learning how to get free cable TV and enjoy your favorite programming, here are the steps you should take.1. Evaluate your current circumstances as far as connectivity to the Internet. In order to be able to receive the massive data transmissions that make up the signal for television reception, you will need to have a robust Internet connection. This means that if you have a dial-up service currently, you will need to upgrade to something more powerful. For the process to work, you will need a high-speed connection that will afford you a great deal of bandwidth. Without this type of power, the television feed simply will not work.
2. Check out your computer equipment. If you have an older computer with a somewhat low amount of memory, then chances are you will need to upgrade before you attempt to secure free cable TV Internet services.
3. Go online and look for services that provide the software necessary to receive the television signals. Essentially, this tuner allows you to select from programming available from around the world. The charge for a software tuner is relatively small and is not a recurring fee. All your expenses with free cable TV are on the front end. By choosing to go with the free cable TV on PC, you will probably pay for that new computer within the course of a year on the amount of subscriber fees you will no longer have to pay a local cable service.
