How can I watch tv shows on the computer?

You can watch free TV shows from national networks off their website. NBC and CBS have their shows on for a few weeks after they air it on TV. Another option is to purchase a TV Tuner for your computer. It costs a bit and you would need to have a proper antenna now that TV has gone digital.

You can watch tv live on your computer using certain software. You get unlimited access to thousands of channels all live. Quality does vary but you can end up with some pretty good channels. Its only a $50 one time fee as well, there are no monthly fees. I used to have cable but after i tried out this sort of software i canceled it.
