Does anyone know if its true to get satelite tv stations an watch them on your laptop. I see all kinds of ads on the internet that say you can. Im just wondering if anyone is actualy doing it and how, and the best ones to go with. thinking about going back over the road and would like to be able to watch some tv without doing it the way I did a few year ago. used to have to drag big satelite dish out and mount it on mirror holders then adjust it just so to the southwest to get dish satellite. I now have Internet service thru My T Mobile cell phone to laptop. Any knoledge appreciated Thanks :roll:

Check out www.veoh.com

It's not live tv but you can find episodes of most shows on the tube these day.

If you go to the classic TV category you can watch shows from many years back.

 

veoh is great...I love watching the classics that they never show anymore like Lost in Space.

 

I loved that show!

 

HEYA DEB!!! How ya doing, hun? Glad to see you are still around.

 

Honestly that was Phase two ...i was working on getting hired first but I am glad you asked ...

What I have in the mix here is ...

Netflix has made the downloadable movies unlimited on accounts ...we use it at home and so if I can get a signal to hop ...I figure that will work for me ....I dont know if that helps any ...but for what it is worth ... I know about that one

I also Plan to use "SKYPE" and a video link to "get home " when I cannot ...

Any additional info on existing "Tech" would be great ...I know alot of trucks have GPS trackers and satalite connections ....can you "hop " ...( Okay dammit "pirate" :twisted: ) that signal for a privately owned laptop with "wireless" built in ???

You can get a TV tuner in just about any laptop.
You will need an antena or something to recieve the signal or as suggested, watch from the internet.
