How to Watch TV Wirelessly on Your Laptop

There are TV cards and other USB devices that can be used to watch television programs on your laptop. If you are away from home, however, you may not be able to utilize them. Fortunately, you can watch TV on your laptop or any computer if you have a wireless connection. The TV stations will open in a media player or in a Web browser. Best of all, this option allows you to watch TV wirelessly on your laptop for free.
