If you have high-speed Internet access at your disposal, you can add watching TV programs in real time to the capabilities provided by your computer. This will allow you to watch programs that are not broadcast in your area on public or pay channels.
Instructions
Step 1
There is no standard required for all web services that provide online TV broadcasting, so select the service itself before installing any special software. Some of them do not require any additional applications, except for the standard video playback program installed into the operating system, others adapt to popular programs for watching web TV, and others distribute their own software to receive their TV broadcasts.
Step 2
It is most convenient to use sites that select and catalog existing online broadcasts on the network. Links to one of these web resources, which are often called "aggregators", are given below. Most of them require the installation of an additional application to the browser - a plug-in to view. If, by going to such a site and choosing the appropriate channel, instead of the player built into the page, which reproduces a television image, you see a message about the absence of the required plug-in, click it with the mouse and using the dialog that appears, download and install the required add-on to the browser.
Step 3
You can also use for viewing sites that allow you to organize a TV broadcast to any registered user. Viewing such a broadcast is usually free, does not require registration and allows you to get a better image than the plugin. Such sites, as a rule, group TV broadcasts on a specific topic - for example, below is a link to one of the web resources with live broadcasts of football matches and other sports TV programs. This web resource uses a fairly widespread online TV viewing application called SopCast. Links to its installation files can be found on the page of each individual TV show.
Step 4
You can do without the use of websites if you install one of the programs, which are integrated with options for selecting and viewing online channels. For example, it can be the free All-Radio or TV Player Classic apps.
