Of the 5 software I bought and tried out, Direct PC TV is the only one I didn’t refund, and for good reasons.
Direct PCTV comes with a whopping 9000+ channels, most of which had great video quality (more so than the other 4 products), with a reasonable price tag of $39.95 (one-time payment).
Direct PC TV is the software I highly recommend that you choose. However, if you want to save $5 and you’re willing to settle for “only” 3000+ channels, the ISoftwareTV program may be the ideal choice for you.
The only downside of Direct PC TV is that I’m now spending too much time in front of my computer, mostly watching tv series and movies and sports. The plus side though, is I’m saving big on movie tickets and snacks from the theatre – I never really realize how much that was costing me every month until I stopped going. 
Did I mention Direct PC TV is my favorite software of the 5? I give it #1 ranking, plus both thumbs up!
I’ve canceled my cable tv subscription after installing the DirectPCTV software. Saving $37 every month now.

You never really get to watch all 9000+ channels (unless you have no life) but for that kind of price its a great deal anyways. Video quality’s not bad either.
I am seriously considering going with something like this at my new place. I’m wondering if there is a way to link my computer and tv, so I don’t have to sit in front of the computer. I’d like to be able to sit on my sofa to enjoy tv with the family. Please advise of any connection you might know about. Thanks
[...] All in all, I do recommend the ISoftwareTV program – it gives good value. However, I still prefer the Direct TVPC Software – see what I have to say about it by clicking here. [...]
