Watch on your PC TV channels from various parts of this world
Satellite TV On PC is an application with which you are able to watch on your computer all kind of TV channels from all over the world.
Installing that program doesn't take too long, however when the moment comes to launch the application, it takes a while due to the fact that the software needs to load up thousands and thousands of TV channels and radio stations.
When Satellite TV On PC finally starts, you are welcomed by a decent looking interface.
The main functions of the program are extremely accessible and pretty easy to be used.
All the TV and radio channels are arranged according to the country.
You can either choose the software to display all the available channels or you can group them by genre: entertainment, kids, educational, financial, movie, news, music etc.
Now lets make a simple test and figure out what the application is capable of.
I set Satellite TV On PC to show all the Movie channels. From the available countries i picked USA. As a movie channel i went with AXN. To load up the channel i clicked on it.
After waiting a considerable amount of time, the following message was displayed: AXN channel is currently not available. Would you like to retry it?.
For the purpose of this test i pressed Yes. The application showed the same message. I tried another country and the same message appeared.
To see if the program works at all, i clicked on various TV channels. From the ones that i selected i was surprised to see that none worked.
Then i tried the radio stations. Unlike the TV channels, many radios work. However there are lots of them that do not connect.
Without a doubt that there are TV channels which work but discovering those may take a very long amount of time as in the list there are thousands of channels.
To play a radio or TV station you can either click on it or press on the interface the Play Satellite button.
In the next field, My Channels, can be added or organized all kind of TV and radio stations.
Now lets have a look at the general Preferences of the program. You can make the application to be always on top, organize your channels, choose to hide channel list and display channel on the right side.
A very useful option in Preferences is Advanced Search. This can be used to look out for specific radio and TV stations.
I must say that Satellite TV On PC is a very interesting application. In theory the idea of being able to watch on your computer thousands of TV channels sounds great.
However when it comes to the real thing you discover than many channels do not work.
Good:
-thousands of TV and radio stations from all over the world
-easy to use
-good looking interface
-advanced search function
Bad:
-there are much to many channels and discovering which of them work takes too long
