Online TV Streams on my PC? "You must be seeing green pigs" I told Eric, my thin scrounge, nerdy-looking, thick-rimmed, wide-framed glasses wearing friend. I have always taken what Eric told me with a pinch of salt. The guy is so unbelievable-looking he seems not to know which end of his trouser's is right side up.

I on the other hand is the stingy, dead-serious, life's a chance kind of guy. No chance's at all. None, Zippy, nadda. Eric had told me to buy one of those softwares for TV sold online and I thought he must be loosing it. According to me, nothing really good came out of this internet thing. You wouldn't blame me.

I had successfully avoided computers and the internet until I met Eric. The geek who seems to know all about things he calls pc's, CPU's Broad blondes, sorry, broad band and a lot of other clatter it couldn't possibly fit in a normal persons head. He probably must have one of those USBs in that head of his. Come to think of it, I never asked him if that meant an Unstably Sectored Brain or one of those computer gizmos.

After much persuasion, I did download what he recommended to watch TV on my newly but still scary PC. It was the nicest was to be introduced to this humming, TV-looking, drive-popping equipment. I had managed against all odds and threat of harm to mange to log into the internet and do some google.

I could believe that I could actually watch TV on the computer until I got the PC elite TV software. Being the skeptic, I never for once believed that I could operate a computer let alone get reliable software to watch television online.

I never left that computer screen for the next 3 hours. I browsed almost the over 3000 channels from around the world. I watched sports TV, education shows, TV shows, music but still couldn't go through all the stations. Yes I also listened to some fancy online radio broadcasts.

The software cost me only $49.95, a sum I thought at first was a fortune until I saw what they offered. For a life-time membership with free annual upgrades, me the stingy skeptic was sold out.

I'm now catching on last years NFL playoffs and no problems so far.
