Using a computer to watch TV online gives you the opportunity to watch TV channels that may not be available in your area. If your computer is in the same room as a TV set, watching TV online gives you the option of viewing two different live programs at the same time without having to flip back and forth on your TV. You can watch TV online for free by downloading a specific media player or visiting a website that hosts streaming TV links.
