Free Satellite TV On PC FAQ

Digital TV for PC 2 is the latest product in a long line of software designed to turn your PC into a virtual television.  Advertisers of DTV4PC claim that through the use of their software anyone with the necessary requirements can get over 1,000 channels all for one low price.

In addition to their video player DTV4PC also includes a radio player which will give you access to over 2,000 live radio stations.  Again, they promise that all this comes at a onetime price with no additional costs, PPV fees, or any hidden charges.

What’s Included in the Software?

After purchasing Digital TV for PC 2 you will need to install the software, a short install that is easy and painless to complete.  Once you’ve loaded the program it will appear as a video player resembling a stripped down version of Windows Media Player.

This will allow you to search and sort your available channels, which according to DTV4PC should include: Worldwide Sports coverage, National and local news, weather, and politics, Movies and entertainment, Music and videos, and Children’s channels.

In order to run Digital TV for PC 2 you need the following system requirements: Microsoft Windows Vista, XP and 2000. 20MB of disk space are required for installation. No TV card is required. Windows Media Player or Real Player is required.

So Does DT4PC Work?

Unfortunately that’s not an easy question to answer as there are many mixed reviews of how well the software delivers on its promises.  If you search online for reviews or customer complaints you will find many sources of dissatisfaction.

The general consensus seems to be that DTV4PC exaggerates the volume and quality of channels that people would actually want to watch.

Sure, there are tons of public access type shows and even a rather entertaining backyard wrestling channel, but as far as what people expect when they see logos of MTV and ESPN on the advertising its slim pickings.

Many customers agree that the channels with the most viewable reception and connectivity rate turn out to be mostly news and political channels like CNN and CSPAN.  The software that you get is not some miracle cure and certainly won’t replace the need for a traditional cable/satellite service provider.

What you get with Digital TV for PC 2 is software that will help you pickup and view freely broadcasted channels.  These include foreign versions of once popular programs, looped repeats of old shows, and thoroughly dated movies.

Although, the most disconcerting complaints came from several folks who claimed that the company did not honor their 30 day money back guarantee.  So if you do plan on purchasing Digital TV for PC 2 make sure you get it from a trusted retailer that you know honors their refunds.
