How to Get Wireless TV on a PC
"Wireless TV" can describe two technology-related phenomenons. Wireless TV is television content that is streamed over the Internet. This term can also describe television sent from a device called a media extender to your computer. Regardless of which of these two types of wireless TV you're trying to access, you can get them both through a native Windows tool called Windows Media Center.
