With satellite and cable prices continuing to climb each year, internet-savvy customers are looking for another way to catch their favorite shows and movies. TVChannels2PC.com offers one of those outlets, with a large selection of channels (somewhere between 3,000 and 9,000, based on conflicting information on their site) and availability to anywhere in the world. As long as you have an internet connection, you are able to access TVChannels2PC from your computer, although your download speed may be affected by your internet connection.

TVChannels2PC offers a variety of channels no matter what kind of connection you have, from sports and movies to news and shopping. A more comprehensive list of channels is available via their website, which suggests that they are forthcoming with most of the information for their program. However, we were disappointed that we weren’t able to find an actual price list for the TVChannels2PC.com membership fee.

With all of the online television hosting sites out there, it’s difficult to tell which companies are legitimate. Based on customer testimonials and a variety of user reviews, TVChannels2PC appears to provide a superior service to its customers as well as adequate technical support if you run into problems downloading or access the TVChannels2PC programs. If you’re frustrated by rising cable bills (and already have internet access), TVChannels2PC might be a wise financial decision to provide you with up-to-date television and movie access via your computer.

Detailed Ratings

Pros
• TVChannels2PC offers 3000+ channels in a variety of languages from countries around the world, so it is available worldwide as well.
• You are able to save 5% off of your initial purchase price by “sharing” the good news of TVChannels2PC with your friends.
• TVChannels2PC offers channels in a variety of categories, including movies, sports, news, shopping, and more.
• A specific list of channels is available via the TVChannels2PC, so if you are concerned about access to a certain genre or network, you should be able to check before signing up to determine if you’ll have access to that channel.
• Your purchase of TVChannels2PC comes with a 56-day money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied for any reason.
Cons
• Although their homepage suggests that you have access to 9,000+ channels, the FAQ section says that there are 3,000 channels. While either is a high number, we’re concerned with the discrepancy on their own website.
• We were a bit annoyed that you have to enter an e-mail address and your name before the TVChannels2PC website actually lists a price. We were unable to find a price listed on their webpage or in a variety of other review websites.

I only gave this a 1 for quality because I have not yet purchased the service, but for anyone interested in learning the actual costs involved, look no further:

There is a one-time charge of $39.99 for the regular service and the player is free.
If you want to upgrade to Premium Channels it will cost you $9.99 for two years.
If you want to upgrade (again) to OnDemand it will cost you another $9.99 for two years.
If you would like free upgrades and updates for two years and preferred tech support for one year, you guessed it, another $9.99.

The Premium Channels upgrade states you get 156 more channels, then a TVU Viewer that gives you access to another 20 channels which include ABC News, Fox News and Sci-Fi.

The OnDemand upgrade states "Watch full TV episodes, feature length movies, music videos, news clips, funny videos and more..."

The first two didn't surprise me. They have to get their customers to keep spending money somehow, and $20 every two years is a far cry cheaper than what cable or satellite costs. But it was the last one is what piqued my interest the most. "Get FREE TVC2PC upgrades and FREE automatic channels updates for two years"

That tells me that even if you do none of the upgrades, in order to get software updates and channel "updates" on your 'pay only once package' you will have to fork over more money which, at least on this screen, is not listed. I don't really like surprises.

My suggestion, go for it as long as you have a good enough system to run quality streams. But don't just stop at the one-time offer, go ahead and splurge for at the very least the $9.99 upgrades/updates/preferred support option. That way you aren't hit with any surprises (I hope) down the line.

If I get some green for Christmas, I personally will be going for all the options, which comes to $69.96 (unsure about any possible tax). That's less than one month of premium cable and if I hate it, I'm really not out that much moola in the long run.


Detailed Ratings

Pros
Inexpensive
(By their estimate) a large array of channels
Upgrades available to get premium channels like SciFi or OnDemand.
Did I mention it was inexpensive?
Windows, Mac, Linux compatible
iPod compatible
Cons
Hidden costs. They're there, I KNOW it. But if the pricing is anything like that gets you in the door with them, it will be cheap. FAR cheaper than cable or satellite.
Recommend?
