Watch Satellite TV on computer

It is a fact that satellite TV viewers today find it easy and convenient to watch satellite TV on computer. Since a few years ago, people have been able to watch satellite TV on computer by installing the PCTV cards. Such PCTV cards are basically computer hardware used to receive satellite TV channels and convert to viewable programs. The cards come as either external device plugged onto your computer or fixed directly onto your motherboard in your computer. These cards are not exactly cheap and can be priced in the range of hundreds of dollars for a quality branded card.

Ever since PC satellite TV software appeared, it has readily replaced this PCTV method to watch satellite TV on computer. After installation, the software enables your computer to function like a satellite television and you can start to watch thousands of worldwide satellite TV and radio stations on PC.

To watch satellite TV on computer with PC satellite TV software is catching on fast in the homes of developed countries especially USA, UK, Australia and Canada where the people spend many hours glued to their TV sets. There are several clear benefits to watch satellite TV on computer which we are going to discuss here.

1. Huge List of Satellite TV Channels

Average satellite TV services deliver not more than 200 satellite TV channels to their subscribers. Even with that number of programs, the quality of the TV programs is not always good and there are some channels which people hardly have any interest in. This is not the case with PC satellite TV software as it allows you to tune into thousands of global satellite TV stations to watch satellite TV on computer. Software users have reported that they can easily find TV channels showing programs like cartoons, videos, world news, sports events and games, latest released movies and TV shows. In short, you can definitely find a program you love to watch.

2. One-time Pricing

It costs no more than $50 to buy the PC satellite TV software used to watch satellite TV on computer. This is the biggest difference between using PC satellite TV software and satellite TV services. Once you own the satellite TV software, you are not required to fork out an extra dollar for the TV programs. Satellite TV services would normally charge you additional costs if you wish to watch some non-featured channels or LIVE sports broadcasts. If you use PC satellite TV software, this is free. This is yet another striking difference when using PC satellite TV software to watch TV on your PC.

3. Viewing Quality of Satellite TV Channels

The conventional method of using satellite dish to watch satellite TV can suffer from interferences in places where weather conditions can be harsh. It is a norm for the TV reception to be affected by weather and therefore, the TV picture quality is weak and fuzzy. There could be intermittent stoppages when you are watching your TV. This is most upsetting but unavoidable. But when you watch satellite TV on computer using software, this problem does not exist. Viewing quality of the satellite TV on PC far exceeds that of the satellite dish system in this aspect.

These are tangible advantages to watch satellite TV on computer with software. More and more people who see the affordability and versatility of the software have decided to ditch traditional satellite TV dish systems and services for PC satellite TV software. TV enthusiasts all welcome the change which of course includes me who is now able to catch a movie or watch my favorite TV news channel on PC.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the most natural thing a new mother can do for her baby. Breast milk is the best food for the newborn as it contains the perfect composition of fatty acid, glucose and protein its developing body and brain require.

Breastfeeding is also the most economical way to feed a baby. Breast milk is also always ready and a very ecological way to feed a baby as it involves no bottles or bags of any kind.

What is then the ideal schedule to have for a nursing a baby? The answer to this question might disappoint new mothers but in fact there are no schedules. The simple answer is that a nursing mother should adapt her schedule to the needs of her baby. A growing baby has different growing phases and may not show a regular schedule for the first few months.

Breastfeeding on demand is the best way to ensure that baby receives all he needs. The best way for a nursing mother is to put away her watch and clocks and get in tune with her baby.

It is recommended not to wait too long to feed the baby. Sometimes, when not fed rapidly, a baby can get very upset and cry profoundly and will have a harder time to breastfeed.

It is easier to put the baby to the breast when he is fully awake and showing movements of the mouth but not crying.

A nursing mother will greatly benefit from considering the breastfeeding time as occasions to relax and spend quality time with her baby rather than worry about her schedule being thrown off.

When a baby is born, it is recommended to breastfeed him in the first hour of life. Most babies during that hour will get calm and show chewing movements of the mouth or even move their head towards the mother’s breast.

Some people have ventured that the breast should be presented right after birth. In our experience, during the first seconds of extra-utero life, most babies are busy coughing and spitting-out the fluid that was in their lungs and mouth and will not be much interested in breastfeeding.

The best signs that breastfeeding is going well is if your baby sleep between feedings and wets his diapers.

Although breastfeeding on demand is the most recommended way of feeding a baby, one has to make the difference between a baby who is really feeding and one who is only using the breast for comfort.

When a baby is simply hatched-on the breast for cuddling, it is better to remove him from the breast. Most women give-up breastfeeding because they feel their baby is too often to their breast. If they could have made the difference between real feedings and just cuddling, they might have kept breastfeeding for a longer period.

As for anything else, getting the proper rest and keeping herself well hydrated is a must for the nursing mother.

how to choose a swimsuit that flatters you most.....

Look in the mirror in just your underwear and assess yourself frankly. Which of these describe you best?


  1. Shoulders, hips and waist about the same size. Not much of a waist -- boyish figure

  2. Narrow shoulders wide hips -- pear shaped

  3. Wide shoulders with medium or large breasts, wide hips, small waist -- hourglass

  4. Wide shoulders, narrow hips -- top heavy

  5. Large breasts, narrow hips -- busty and top heavy

  6. Large breasts, ample hips and a tummy -- curvy

  7. You can only wear clothes sized XL or larger -- plus sized



Once you know which category you are in, pick the swimwear that flatters that body type and you'll look your best during swimsuit season.

Boyish figure
If you are concerned about looking like a boy in your swimsuit, go all out feminine with frills and pretty prints. Ruffles add volume. Worn along your bust and at your hips, they give the illusion of curves. Pretty things up with string bikinis and girly prints. If you've got a cleavage, show it off with a plunging neckline. You'd look less like a boy if you show enough cleavage. Avoid bandeau tops and boy shorts.

Pear shaped body
So you've got hips.. Too large hips for your liking. Actually, curvy hips and thighs are in. You can show them off, or if you are still self conscious, you can minimize them. String bikini bottoms, tie sides or details at the sides of your bikini bottoms would make the most of your shapely bottom. If you want to draw attention away from your bottom, then dark bikini thongs would do the trick. Or you could wear a one piece swimsuit with a plunging front to draw attention upwards to your face and cleavage and away from your hips. Avoid boyshorts or very high cut bottoms as these would not flatter you. If you are wearing a bikini, pick a light top and a dark bottom to balance your figure.

Hourglass figure
An hourglass figure? You don't really need help with swimwear with a figure like yours. Still, you can mess up your look if you wear ill-fitting swimwear or a bikini top or swimwear top that doesn't provide enough support for your breasts if yours are heavy. As long as you get enough support and the fit is right, swimsuit season is your season. Wear a bright bikini or a black maillot or a really teeny printed bikini. These are classics that you can get away with.

Top heavy swimsuits
If you're busty, show off your cleavage in a one piece swimsuit with a plunging neckline. The ideal bikini for you would be one with a halter top. More than anything, you need support. Here's more about how to pick busty swimwear that flatter your body shape best.
You can widen your hips with boy shorts or a colorful bottom.

Curvy figures and plus sizes
If your tummy is a problem, wear a one-piece swimsuit that has a very high lycra content. Miraclesuits are your friend. Wear those swimsuits to take 10lb off visually. They'd hold in your tummy. If your tummy is not an issue, then go for a bikini. Just make sure the bikini top supports you well with wide enough straps or underwire support and go for the lower-rise bottoms.
