Did you know that you can watch live TV on your PC or laptop computer? That’s right, today with hundreds of major channels and networks offering live streams of their programming, there are many websites that will allow you to watch live TV on your PC for free. Most major networks such as, CNN, ESPN, MTV, and Discovery allow you to watch their shows for free… even if you don’t have cable.

So where do you get started? It’s easy to watch live TV on your PC just by following any one of the simple steps below:

1. You can go to a major network station’s home page such as CNN or ESPN and search their site for a live streaming feed. From their you can generally open the feed in Windows Media format and watch it live on your computer monitor. The stream can be a bit slow at times but it’s the easiest way to watch TV on your PC.

2. You can open up media player on your computer and search the live TV section and it will direct you to different websites and feeds that offer live streaming feeds directly from the media player. This option, while better than the first, still isn’t the best way to go about seeing all of the popular channels… but it will get you some of the less-well-known channels that might curb your television fix.

3. The best option is to go to a paid site like this one. For a small one-time fee ($49), you get to watch all of the channels you can imagine, plus many more that you didn’t even no existed. You can even watch TV stations from other countries, like - Italy, Egypt, China, Japan, and more! I signed up for this service about three months ago, and I don’t think that I’ll ever go back to paying $65 a month for satellite. Now all I do is hook up my laptop to the TV in my living room using a VGA connection and I’m surfing 3,000+ channels. Not too shabby for an initial $50 investment.

Watching live TV on your PC is very simple today since major networks provide the information and code to easily stream it on the Internet. This can be very convenient for people who are at work and want to catch up on the latest news or sports without having to find a TV nearby.
