How to Watch Satellite TV on Your PC Using Windows Media Center and a TV Tuner

How to Watch Satellite TV on Your PC Using Windows Media Center and a TV Tuner BY Kevin Zalla

I used to spend 25-30 dollars for one Pay Per View for wrestling back when it was 25-30 dollars for that Pay Per View now the raised the price to 35-40 dollars for a Pay Per View that sucks so I said never again. I have Dish Network and even though I live in a condo that has windows in the patio I still receive most of the channels for free from Dish Network and here is how. I heard online about Free To Air which stands for Free To Air broadcasts which is basically channels that satellites get that are free and don't charge anything to use it but they are channels like NASA channel which barely anyone watches so I said that might be cool so I started reading up on it then I read from a website named Al7bar.TK which you can view at WWW.Al7bar.TK that you can use those receivers that are Free To Air receivers and use them on Dish Network and receiving not only the basic channels but all the channels that Dish Network has to offer including the porn channels and the Pay Per View channels.

When I read that I went where can I buy one so I searched out where to buy Free To Air receivers and found a cheap site that sells them online and bought one I bought a View sat from http://www.go satellite.net/ and it was under 100 dollars which at first I was a little resistant to buy it because 100 dollars is a lot to me but then I figured if I was paying 25-30 dollars per month just on Pay Per View alone that would mean I would be paying 360 dollars a year on Pay Per View which is already more than what this box would cost for free Pay Per View and free porn I was sold.

So I bought it and hooked it up to my satellite and was happy for 6 months then I bought from www.Best Buy.com a TV tuner card that is called the WIN-TV that I was going to use with my cable box and hooked it up but it was not worth the money I spent since I only had a few channels on digital cable and most were blocked by the cable company any ways.

So I was about to get rid of the TV tuner when I decided to try to hook the box up to the receiver and use Windows Media Center to view it and I found out that I worked so I hooked it up to the computer and then I hooked up the remote that came with the WIN-TV box and then I went and looked to see if the Pay Per View showed up and it did and so did the porn channels and all the channels that Dish Network had all showed up except for the High Definition channels because the tuner is not High Definition compatible yet.

So I hope that this helped you guys out and I hope you found this article to be a good one.
