Unlimited Satellite TV For Your PC

The usual satellite dish companies charge you tons of money each month to receive the couple hundred channels they offer, out of which you will only watch the few that interest you. For a limited amount of time, you can download software that will allow you to access satellite TV on your PC for an unlimited amount of time at the same price as one month's bill from traditional satellite or digital cable.

Within seconds of the download finishing, you will have thousands of television channels right on your desktop or laptop and all you need to access them is an Internet connection. There is no additional hardware required such as a PC TV card since the channels are delivered to you via your Internet. All Internet speeds will work, but broadband delivers a higher quality of both video and audio. Also, since all you need to receive this software is the Internet and a computer, anyone in any country has the luxury of watching TV that is shown in numerous different languages right on their computer.

For many, this product sounds too good to be true, but it is 100% legal as shown on the website and there is no hacking or cracking of any codes with this software. The researchers that created the program wanted to make this product very user friendly which is why it works with any version of Windows. All it takes is a click of the "download" button to view all of your favorite channels and thousands more within seconds.

I like to watch sports and comedy for the most part, but with all of the extra channels you receive, it was a waste not to take a look at them. There were countless other channels that are now my favorites and how could there not be when you have access to almost every channel that is being broadcasted around the world. Within the 3500 channels you instantly receive, there are many genres some of which include sports, news, music, movies, weather, clips, education, and even radio stations. This software took over 7 years to be developed and released to public, and the creators just about perfected this product.

There is so much that I gained out of satellite TV, so for more information, check out http://www.squidoo.com/onlinesatellitetv

Interesting Facts About Olympic Nations - France

Did you know?

France is the birthplace of Pierre de Coubertin, who is the father of the Olympic Movement. This Frenchman was born on January 1, 1863 in Paris. Pierre once said, "The Olympic Movement gives the world an ideal which reckons with the reality of life, and includes a possibility to guide this reality toward the great Olympic idea".

The Summer Olympic Games were held in Paris in 1900. For the first time, sportswomen were allowed to compete in the Olympics ( six tennis players ). France won first place in the Games with 26 gold, 41 silver and 34 bronze medals.

Marie-Jos Prec was one of France's greatest sportswomen. She was born in Guadeloupe ( Caribbean island ) and moved to France with her mother when she was sixteen. Marie-Jose became the second female athlete in the history of the Olympic Games to sweep the 200m and 400m ( Atlanta'96 ).

Like Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and Reunion, New Caledonia -French territory in Oceania- is not member of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ). Why? France does not allow its territories to compete in the Olympics. For this reason, New Caledonia's athletes can not compete in the Olympic Games. Unlike Guam ( American territory ), Aruba ( Dutch territory ) and Bermuda ( British territory ), it did not compete in the 2004 Olympics. Ironically, New Caledonia has several famous sportspeople in the South Pacific. Aquatics: Olivier Saminadin, Thomas Dahlia, Thomas Chacun, Reine-Victora Weber, Lara Grangeon, Diana Bui-Duyet, Adeline Williams and Gilles Durnesnil. Archery: Laurent Clerte, Emmanuel Guilhard, Henry Shiu, Isabelle Soeno and Sylvena Plazenet.

Judo: Sandrine Perel, Kyo Lussaud, Melissa Kaddour, Stephane Courtine, Jonathan Berger, Cyril Chevalier, Paul Dulac, Abedis Trindade de Abreu, Vaea Chadfeau and Diane Hillaireau. Sailing: Chrisptophe Renaud, Alban Rossollin, Feri Malhieu, Michael Borde, Cawle Dabin and Paiscillia Poaniewa. Shooting: Theodore Tein Weiawe, Fabrice Azarro and Phillipe Sinoni.

Tennis: Julien Couly, Elodie Rogge and Nickolas Ngodrela. Triathlon: Oliver Bargibant, Stephane Lacroix and Benedicte Meunier. At the last South Pacific Games held in Apia ( Samoa / formerly Western Samoa ) in November 2007, it finished 1st among 22 countries and territories. Certainly, New Caledonia has won more international gold medals per capita than any other country of the South Pacific.

Paris hosted the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship in 1986. Final standings: 1.United States, 2.USSR ( currently Russia ), 3.Bulgaria, 4.Brazil, 5.Cuba, 6.France, 7.Argentina, 8.Czechoslovakia (currently Czech Republic/Slovak Republic), 9.Poland, 10.Japan, 11.China, 12.Italy, 13.Greece, 14.Venezuela, 15.Egypt, 16.Taiwan.

Eunice Barber is one of the most famous athletes in France. She was born on November 17, 1974 in Freetown, Sierra Leone ( Western Africa ), the world's poorest country. Eunice says, "I was fortunate to grow up in Sierra Leone, an English-speaking African country where sport is very present".

Usain Bolt to Seek Double Beijing Olympic Gold

Until last weekend, the majority of talk about the Men's Beijing Olympics 100m run focused on the impending showdown between American Tyson Gay and Jamaican Asafa Powell. Thanks to last weekend's heart pumping, eye opening, world record setting surprise jaunt by Powell's teammate Usain Bolt, the tides have shifted in a different direction. Now the focus is on Usain, and just how good he is. The Internet has been teeming today with more news recounting Bolt's record breaking 100m dash on Saturday night. Americans Tyson Gay (9.85) and Darvis 'Doc' Patton (10.07) took second and Third place respectively. The 9.72 second run shattered Asafa Powell's previous record of 9.74 seconds. (Set last year in Rieti, Italy)

The stage was the Reebok Grand Prix meet at the Icahn Stadium in New York, USA. The night began with thunderstorms that eventually broke to make way for some human lightening on the track. The heat began shaky with a false start. Bolt later recounted that he was pleased for the false start because he didn't feel that it was a good one for him. The 21-year-old's 6'5 190lb frame is hard to get situated in and out of the blocks. Bolt also noted that he and Tyson Gay are not the best starters, so a strong explosion out of the blocks and focus on the second stage of the race were essential to victory. And victory was achieved. Gay surely anticipated a stunning performance from Bolt, having witnessed Bolt's Mar 3rd 9.76 second 100m run in Kingston. (Before Saturday, this was the second fastest time in history)

While many in the world are left stunned by Bolt's explosion onto the world stage, he has in fact been priming for Athletics greatness for years. At 15, he was the men's 200m world junior champion with a Gold time of 20.61 seconds. In 2003 he took the world youth championship with a 200m time of 20.40 seconds, a significant improvement. At 16 he clocked a 400m time of 45.35 seconds, becoming the first Jamaican schoolboy to run below 46 seconds. At 18 he ran a 19.93 second 200m in Barbados, becoming the first junior to break 20 seconds. Just last year at 21 he was awarded two IAFF Rising Star awards, broke Donald Quarrie's 36-year-old 200m record with a time of 19.75, and took Silver in the World Championship 200m behind Tyson Gay. He has also shown strong promise with 400 and 4x400 meter performances.

As these achievements indicate, Bolt has always considered himself a 200m runner. He only recently began running the 100m as a means of boosting his speed. (A challenge by coach, friend, and mentor Glen Mills) Obviously, the training worked. New York's World Record was only Bolt's 5th professional 100m. While he was initially skeptical about doubling up in Beijing, he has now publicly admitted that he will seek Gold in both the 100m and 200m this summer. He has always dreamed of winning the 200m in the Olympics, like his role model Michael Johnson, the 100m will hopefully be icing on the cake.

For now, Bolt is focused on his upcoming 200m on June 12th in Ostrava, Czech Republic. This will be his last race before the Jamaican National Olympic Trials at the end of June. These trials should offer a thrilling match up between Usain Bolt and his teammate and friend Asafa Powell.
