Number of TV/Radio Channel Selection:
 The 2007 Professional Edition claims 2800+ channels and the 2007 Elite Edition claims 3000+ channels from around the globe (around 80 countries) and 2007 Titanium Edition claims 4000+ channels from 100+ countries. First of all, all 3 editions are identical but the only differences are the number of channels (Elite has extra 200+ channels and Titanium has extra 1200+ channels) and a better search capability in both Elite & Titanium versions. Well, I didn't physically count the number of channels but based on the menu options on TV and Radio stations, definitely there are a lot to choose from. Each TV/Radio station is categorized by Country which would help you narrow down your search by language. Below are the snapshot of the Menu arrangement

Availability of Channels:
 Most of the TV stations are available 24/7 however some channels do really work only during certain time of the day either due to the time-zone difference in different countries or technical feasibility in the selected country. The good part is that all US, UK, Canada and major countries in Europe have uninterrupted TV stations round-the-clock such as ABC News, ESPN, CNN, BBC News, Music/Movies Channels, etc. Variety of Channels:  Well, you get 24/7 News, TV Sitcoms, Movie Central, Music TV, Kids Channels (Cartoons), Sports Networks (ESPN, Baseball Channel, NBA, NFL, NHL, Golf, Cricket, Soccer, Football, Rugby & much more), Shopping Networks, World-wide Weather Channels, Religious Stations, Home & Gardening (HGTV), Cooking and much more! You have stations for everyone's taste. View Sample News Channel View Sample Sports Channel View Sample World Weather Channel View Sample Music Channel As far as the Radio stations go, you get World News, Jazz Music,AM/FM stations in UK, USA, Canada and so many countries! This will be a perfect "Work Companion" on your desktop. I simply love this Radio part and it helps me to get through the day with ease. |

Ease of using the Software:
It is a Windows-based program. That means that it works in Win-95/98/ME/XP Home/Professional/Vista Operating Systems. It doesn't work on MAC directly however if you have 'Virtual PC' installed, you can enjoy this software on MAC as well. You don't need to be a computer expert to use the software. If you're in this page, you already know how to use this (Click & Play). Most importantly, you don't need any special hardware to watch live TV online. All you need is the software and of course a good Internet connection. If you have high-speed (recommended), then you can definitely enjoy uninterrupted streaming. Please note that I was able to find a handful of dial-up connection enabled TV stations too out of 3000+ channels. Picture/Sound Quality: This is one of the main criteria that I would look for in an online TV. How good of picture clarity am I going to get? Well, it depends on the channel/country. All major premium/best channels from each country have excellent picture and sound quality but there are channels that provide average quality but still they are very much watchable without squinting. About 80% of channels are of best quality and the remaining are of average quality as shown in the samples below. |

There is an excellent collection of Premium TV channels from all round the world in the Titanium edition that you don't want to miss! It is an incredible all-in-one piece PC software. Here are some screen shots of a few channels from the Titanium Edition
    (CNN International) (World Stock News) (Shopping Network)
   (MTV) (Food TV) (ESPN Sports) |
 Minor Turnoff The only inconvenience that I noticed with this online TV is that you can't bookmark the favorite channels. Every time you need to navigate the respective country's menu option to watch your favorites. It would have been a lot easier if we could somehow bookmark our favorite ones and quickly get to them. In spite of this minor turn off, it is definitely worth your every penny for all other wonderful features! |
|
Customer Support: The 24/7 technical support is really outstanding and I got answers within a few hours. Overall Recommendation: The Satellite TV for PC is the best bet for your money. No other online TV software comes even closer to the features and quality that you find in this one. Look no further, purchase the software immediately before the price goes up! |
