What Is Needed to Watch TV on a Computer?

Thanks to the fact that many television networks now stream their shows over the Internet, watching TV on a computer is easier than ever. However, for a true TV watching experience on a computer, a product called Slingbox was created.

  1. Significance

    • Unlike watching television shows on Web sites, Slingbox allows users to watch live television, just like they would if they were in their own homes.

    Function

    • The Slingbox connects directly to the computer. It is smaller than a small DVD player and it uses a home network router to connect from the television to the computer.

    Types

    • There are two main kinds of Slingbox devices. The first device is the Slingbox SOLO, which is the basic Slingbox. Those seeking high-definition quality often choose the Slingbox PRO-HD.

    Costs

    • There is no monthly fee to use Slingbox. The only cost is incurred when the device is first purchased.

    Warning

    • Although Slingbox does not charge for monthly use of the device, if a person has an Internet service that charges by the kilobyte used or by the amount of time used per month, charges could accrue.
