What Is Free PC Satellite TV?
If you have been watching the tech news of late you probably have heard about free PC
satellite TV and how popular this is becoming. Even so, there are still a lot of questions
being asked by the average person and this article hopes to clear up some of those.
The first thing one should understand about free PC satellite TV is that it is really not free. In
most cases, a person must first buy a software package that will allow the computer to
receive and broadcast the material. Prices for this kind of software can run from one
extreme to another and often the quality between the more expensive software is not that
much better than from the lower priced vendors.
The free part of this comes in after the software has been purchased and installed. Once
the software is installed the consumer can then pick and choose from literally thousands of
international stations and pay nothing more to view their content. Many vendors will require
a monthly recurring fee for this service while others will not. The best value for your money
is seek out a vendor who charges a one time fee and will charge nothing more in the future.
This is without a doubt the best value.
The second thing one must understand is that the broadcast comes into the computer via
an Internet connection. Therefore, the better and faster the connection, the better and faster
the playback will be.
A third consideration, which is actually a great benefit, is that once the software is installed
into your computer, your new free PC satellite TV can go where you go. What this means is
that if you have your computer with you and you have access to a reliable Internet
connection, you can view your content whether you are in the States or in Africa. It really
doesn't matter. It goes where you go and this can be a real benefit for those persons who
must travel often. Having this feature allows you to stay abreast of current news and also
allows you to stay in touch with the latest in sports or movies or music.
And speaking of sports, this is one of the very best ways to follow your favorite teams or
your favorite sports worldwide. By using a free PC satellite TV you can watch virtually any
sport or event that is broadcast. No more blackouts and no more missing games because
they were played out of your local area. Depending on the software, you will be able to pick
up the best and biggest games whenever you like and, again, watch from any location that
offers Internet access.
All in all, this is a great opportunity to enhance your viewing choices and enjoyment. A good
place to begin is with PCTV, a branch of http://Pacific-Servers.com. They offer an excellent
package and are extremely affordable. You can visit them at http://www.pctv.pacific-
servers.com, and while you are there take a look at the bonus area for some unique extra
offers.

What Is Free To Air Satellite TV?
Free to air satellite TV is a term used in describing satellite signals that you can legally
capture with your television, even without a subscription. Unlike ordinary programming, a
free to air satellite TV does not encrypt the signals. Instead, it uses MPEG-2 to encode the
received signals.
Free to air satellite programming transmits using C-band (a frequency allocation used for a
communications satellite that uses 5.925 to 6.425 GHz for uplinks and 3.7 to 4.2 GHz for
downlinks). However, modern free-to-air satellite TVs use Ku-Band programming that uses
frequencies of 14 to 14.5 GHz for uplinks and around 11.7 to 12.7 GHz for downlinks.
Uplinks are signal paths from earth stations going to a satellite. On the other hand,
downlinks are signal paths from a particular satellite going to earth.
Free to air satellite TVs enable you to pick up different unencrypted broadcasts via any
appropriate receiver. You should not confuse free to air satellite TV with FTV (or free-to-
view) because FTV programming also comes without charge, but is encrypted. This means
that having free-to-view programming on your television can restrict various broadcasts,
depending on your geographic location.
How to Receive Free to Air Satellite TV Channels
Unlike ordinary satellite TV programming that needs subscriptions from DirecTV, Dish
Network or other satellite TV broadcast providers, free to air satellite TV channels can be
received even without paying a monthly fee to broadcast providers. Free-to-air
programming is commonly used for international broadcasting.
In order to receive free-to-air satellite TV channels, you need to have a satellite dish (either
a K-band or C-band), a free-to-air satellite receiver or a suitable PC card, an LNBF (low
noise block with an integrated feedhorn) and an antenna motor, if you desire to capture
channels from different satellites, instead of through only one satellite.

3. Earlier systems used C-band satellite dishes, which are several feet in diameter, in
receiving signals. However, modern dishes use Ku-band and other dishes that are under
one meter for international DVB (or digital video broadcasting) standards. U.S. satellites
carry most signals from international DVB. Because of this, free to air satellite TV channels
may be scattered within multiple satellites. When this happens, you need multiple 'low noise
blocks' in order to receive all the channels you wish.
Free to air satellite TV, regardless of the type of dish programming used, is a great
alternative when you are located in areas with poor over-the-air reception.
