Absolutely not! You don’t need cable or satellite connections. You don’t need to buy a special computer card. You just need a computer with a Windows operating system and an Internet connection.  Simply download the free application of SofTV Player to transform your computer into a free TV.  Once you register your application and pay the one-time fee of HOW MUCH, you will unlock the rest of the features available on the SoftTV Pro version.

6. Why can't I view some of my local TV stations?
Even though SofTV offers a diverse amount of programming, we are not able to provide all available programming that may be offered in your geographic location.  However, we are constantly updating our channels and adding more stations to ensure that SofTV is an exciting experience for you.  Please email us a list of stations you would like to watch, and we will contact the providers and ask them to stream their programs to SofTV.

9. How is advertising shown on SofTV?
For many of the broadcast channels, advertising is part of the programming and originates from the telecaster. Any advertising from our own SofTV servers will be displayed in the small text box located on the control panel of the application; our advertising will not interfere with any of the programs displayed on the channel screen.  In addition, all advertising will be confined within the body of the application, so there will not be any kind of pop-up advertising.

10. I was able to watch a TV show previously, but now I can’t access it
There may be an issue with the provider of that show, or the channel itself is no longer available in our list of channels. Please check back with the site regularly for more updates.

Problems running SofTV
 
1. The software won't launch or crashes.  I can't get the application to run..
Please make sure, prior to installation, that your computer has the required minimum system and hardware configuration.  If it lacks the required hardware or software, the program may not run.

If your computer has the required minimum configuration, first try re-starting your computer. If that doesn’t work, you may have to re-install the application. If you are still experiencing problems, please read the answers to common issues on our support page.  If that does not solve your problem, please fill out the technical support form with specific details and submit it to us for analysis.

2. When I start SofTV, it immediately says "you got disconnected from the SofTV network."
Check your internet connection to make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet. Sometimes, some of the channels may not be telecasting at that time and may be temporarily off the air.
