A lot of people get confused over the concept of a computer tv.

Some think of it as connecting the tv audio-video cables to the auxiliary input of the computer in order to distribute the tv programs to the computer monitor screens.

Some also think that a computer tv is nothing more than connecting a tv tuner card to an available slot on the pc's motherboard expansion slots. The tv tuner output connectors are then connected to a physical antenna or through cables of a cable tv provider.

Furthermore, there are newer gadgets that enabled your computer to become an instant tv by plugging in a tiny device into the USB port.

While all of these are truly possible means of making you watch tv on your computer, we're not talking about such. The quality of the tv programs are highly dependent on the amount of signal the antenna is receiving. In many instances, you would even need to move the antenna around the gain optimal signal strength. Interference can also affect the viewing quality as well.

The best computer tv method is one that sources its tv programs from the internet. If your computer is able to watch streaming videos with no problem, then this internet-based computer tv is for you. You still get to watch all those popular tv shows and movies that you see on a regular tv, plus thousands more! No adjustments to be made, no plug-ins needed, so the quality is consistent all the way.
