Free Satellite TV on PC? - Comments

http://www.linktv.org/ is a good site providing live tv on your computer from all over the world and told from the viewpoint of the ethnic group telling the story. 1st class for those who want all points of view

I bought tv on pc elite: Cant get it running-shows error429 Active x coponents can't create object. I have tried to contact them about it but never get an answer, from either of their e-mail addrs. Has anybody ever been able to contact them or
is that the scam as mentioned before.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds exactly like the scam I mentioned...

TV on PC looks iffy. Is it a scam? Are there any positive testimonials? I only see 1 negative here. Thinking about ordering it..... Unless you can CONFIRM it's a scam.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You might want to re-read the article above. If that doesn't convince you it's a waste of money, then ummm, read it again. :-)

all satelite pc 'deals' are scams. i do find it amusing that if you read the disclaimers and terms of use on the sites offering these 'wonder products' they tell you it's a scam(not as simply stated, but if you can't figure it out/be arsed to read up on what you're paying for, you probably shouldn't be making purchases online :D)

I read everything about satellite on computer is it true?why b'coz i heard about the satellite, through this we can watch the events but through the pc it was really wondering providing all live tv on computer.some says that all satellite pc are scams. Is it true?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Flatlining today?

I was able to get a copy of one of the "TV on PC" programs (I didn't pay for it :)). It is a scam but there were a few channels that were actually kind of cool, that I hadn't seen before. One was QVC-UK. That was different.

It's just an interface that ties together different streams and video players (Real, WM and so on - assumed that you already have them on your PC). The feeds are mostly well known ones. Save your money and look for free feeds.

It amuse me everytime when someone tells me that the TV PC is going to replace satellite TV or the cables. I wonder have they ever tried the product themselves before.

For the one that i tried, there are error codes in most of the "3,000 TV programs", there's no customer service at all, and heck, most TV channels are some crap programs. HBO? ESPN? the best I can get are CCTV series where EPL is broadcast in mandarin. Just too bad that i read this article after, but not before i got myself that piece of junk.

Thanks for the useful info I was never sure whether to try satellite tv on pc or not but a review I found on Squidoo made it much easier for me.

I am researching this topic for a publication I own and I have not found one legitimate review (there are many that say it's a scam but that these special 3 or 4 are the 'REAL DEAL"...they are LYING!) After researching, we purchased one to test (that was one of the 3/4 "best" ones) and of course, it was exactly what we were expecting. They may have boasted about "as seen on cnn, msnbc, etc." but they were terrible. No channels relate truly to what you receive on cable or satellite. You truly will get better channels on some of the free sites that just link you to real channel feeds. We are writing this up as a huge scam and I'm hoping our local news will pick it up as well and start educating the public. It's really difficult (it saddens me) to get your money back from Belize, Japan, etc. Don't just be cautious...RUN!!! DON'T WALK! away from all of these programs. They are all scams, everyone!

you can also check out www.watchtvwhenyouwant.com and browse the list of shoutcast streams (simpsons, family guy, futurama, house, ...) it is really FREE!

EDITOR'S NOTE: And certainly illegal. You risk a lawsuit by using this.
