How to Install Direct PC TV
You don't have to watch your DirecTV service only on your TV. Use a simple USB TV Tuner adapter to transform the feed from your DirecTV receiver so it can be displayed on your computer's monitor. Windows includes the Windows Media Center utility that provides the software utilities necessary to view the TV programming, so you don't have to worry about installing extra software to your computer.
