  9. Nice article and great information on how and where to watch tv online. There are are so many ways to watch tv on your computer now days. Its just hard to find live sports channels. Many online tv softwares offer sports, but it’s not live. I use podcast to was the Steeler games during the football season. The only problem with podcast is sometimes the channel pauses.

  15. I have a question...I watch tv shows and movies on my computer.  I would like to know the name of the device that I can use to get the shows I’m watching on the computer monitor hooked up so I can watch them through my big screen tv.  Don’t care about the HD, I can watch television with HD or without. Thanks.
