Watch Satellite TV Online Someday



As technology improves, we can see our various utilities becoming broader by adding more choices and options and narrower by combining television, computer and telephone services into an increasingly overlapping redundancy. Cell phones can play short videos and receive email. Cable TV companies can provide Internet service as well as voice over IP telephony. How long before you can watch satellite TV online? Could be any minute now.

Monitoring TV

A computer monitor is not made to receive a television signal. A TV picture is filmed or videotaped then turned into tiny lines. For those who enjoy word games, this is called rasterizing. When a TV receiver gets a signal from satellite, broadcast or cable, it shoots the lines in a specific order at the back of the TV screen where they linger for the smallest fraction of a second. The eye is fooled into deciphering these lines as a complete picture. A computer monitor can't work with these lines. That's why when a computer is shown on TV, the monitor appears to flicker. This is the stumbling block to watching satellite TV online. That stumbling block is not a real obstacle to the television providers, however. That's because the best traditional - or analog - TV set has a resolution that's a joke next to the worst computer screen.

Watching satellite TV online will mean watching digital TV. That is, television that has been shot by digital cameras, transmitted by digital signal and received by a digital set.. That receiver can be your computer monitor. Someday. Basically, the HDTV-ready television sets on the market today are computer monitors. The difference is the picture ratio. A computer monitor is nearly square like an analog TV screen. True HDTV will have a ratio more like a wide-screen movie.

So television has to catch up with digital technology before you go to the trouble of hooking up your computer for viewing satellite TV online. If you do have access to some digital TV in your area, hooking it up to your computer is just a matter of inputs and outputs and your satellite TV equipment. In the meantime, deciding what kind of TV sets to buy is a real puzzle. With digital on the way, an analog set doesn't make sense. Digital-ready sets are really analog sets that will upgrade to a low resolution reception. HDTV-ready sets may or may not be able to receive analog signals in the meantime. Integrated HDTV sets contain both technologies but one of them will become obsolete. That won't be a problem in the future. Once the technology catches up, it won't be long before your satellite company will be sending signals over the Internet for true satellite TV online.
