Do
you like watching television? If your answer to that question is ‘no’
then stop reading right now as you are not going to get any benefit
from reading this at all. However, if your answer is ‘yes’ then what
I have to say may be very interesting to you.
Since
the invention of the first television set by John Logie Baird in Hastings,
England in 1923 the number of working TV sets in the world today has
grown to a massive 1,416,338,245 and the US is second only to China
with 219,000,000 sets out of a population of 304,059,724 – 72%. (China
if you are interested has 400,000,000 sets out of a whopping 1,330,044,544
people – just 30%).
The way
people watched TV changed forever in 1976 when the first satellite broadcast
was made by HBO of a boxing match known as ‘The Thriller in Manila’.
Over the
last 40 years, multiple companies have offered satellite services in
varying formats, the two most common being cable and satellite TV. Of
the 300+ million American people 76,623,050 - 25.2%, now pay for cable
TV which costs on average $70 per month and 36,487,166 - 12%, pay for
satellite TV costing on average $75 per month. Collectively, in the
US people are paying $5,363,613,500 for cable TV and $2,736,537,450
for satellite TV – EACH MONTH.
Now that
is what I call big business. Let’s make the numbers a little more realistic
to the every day person reading this. In the US it costs the average
household $840 a year for cable subscription and $900 for satellite
TV.
Would
you like to know how to save money?
I’m sure
everyone who has got this far will answer ‘yes’ to that one! In 1994
a new way to watch television was born when ABC’s world news program
broadcast over the internet for the very first time meaning a television
set was not even needed to watch television any more. (I’m sure John
Logie Baird was turning in his grave on that day.). In the last 5 years
the technology for watching internet TV has advanced rapidly and although
it is still not widely known about yet, it is only a matter of time
before it becomes more mainstream.
The cost
for watching
internet TV is staggeringly cheap. For less than $50 you
can have access to all the same shows that you had with both cable and
satellite connections and the best thing of all is the fee you pay is
a one off. That means you only have to pay for it once and once only.
Now let’s take a look at those numbers again.
After
the first year you would have paid $840 for cable TV, $900 for satellite
TV and $49.95 for internet TV. After the second year you would have
paid $1,680 for cable, $1,800 for satellite and still $49.95 for internet
TV on PC.
After
five years you would have paid $4,200 for cable, $4,500 for satellite
which does not include any price hikes and still just the initial cost
of $49.95 for internet tv which is a staggering saving of upto $4,450.
Would
you like to know the best Internet
TV service providers?
If anybody
says ‘no’ to that I’ll eat my hat! As with any service in the world,
there are some people who do a better job than others. Internet TV is
no different and you really must be careful who you choose as there
are many scam artists out there who are quick to take your money but
don’t provide anywhere near the decent service you expect.
At TVonPCTopSites.com
we have painstakingly tried all the services offering internet TV and
after sifting through all the garbage have listed the best three service
providers we could find. Any one of those will give you a fantastic
viewing experience, providing you have a good computer and internet
connection, and should anything go wrong there are excellent customer
support desks to help you.
The invention
of TV took thousands of years. The invention of satellite TV took 53
years. The invention of internet TV took 18 years. Who knows what the
next invention will be but I’m sure it won’t be long and it definitely
won’t be cheaper than $49.95.
