How to Watch TV on Laptop with Internet Connection

Whether you are going to use a Windows laptop/desktop or a Mac laptop/desktop, instructions will be different for the Mac and Windows computers. However, I am using a Windows computer and will be demonstrating that device with the watch TV on computer instructions. Mac users will need to make adjustments on their end whereas the installation process will be easier than for Windows users.

Requirements Needed to Complete Setup:

NOTE: I rather that you follow the ‘Start Here’ step-by-step instructions further down.

  • High-Speed Internet Connection. You should try to use an Ethernet cable (wired) connection. This will give you a faster Internet connection. You can purchase a longer Ethernet cable from Amazon if needed. You can use a WiFi connection if you don’t experience poor streaming performance or consistent buffering. I recommend having at least 60 Mbps Internet (download) speed or more. The faster the Internet speed the better the performance
  • Windows or Mac Computer. You can use either a laptop or a desktop computer. You should have the latest OS (operating system) for the best performance, or the previous OS at least
  • Install the BlueStacks App. Since we can’t go to the Google Play Store to install the app on Windows anymore, we must go to another website to install the BlueStacks for Windows app. BlueStacks allows us to install the SO Player Apk version of the app which requires some extra steps
  • Install SO Player TV. This is a free TV app that must be installed on your computer. You must activate the app to watch TV online. Mac users can go to the Apple Play Store to download/install SO Player. Just click the button to start the download/install process. More setup steps are required for Windows users who must go to the SO Player Apk website to download and install
  • SO Player IPTV Service Subscription. An IPTV service that supports SO Player is required. You can enter into the free trial or pay the low-cost subscription per month. The IPTV service delivers all the streaming content to SO Player. This is another important part of how to watch TV on laptop with Internet setup
