Free Satellite TV on PC? - Comments Page 2

guys & gals Thank you all for the comments on satellite TV!you all saved me all my monies.Like they say if it sounds to good to be true ran like hell-o. Thanks again

Have any of you heard of Joost? It is a free download (beta) where you can watch some channels on your PC. I've tried it an it works pretty well - and it is free.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, this is a peer-to-peer TV application from the same people that created Kazaa and then Skype. You can pause a show, chat live, or view a show when you like.

You guys should Try SOPCAST its not exactly Satelite on Tv but its free feeds of tv stations from around the world. Best of all its free so it cant really be a scam.

Hi everyone, thanks for the great info, I found a cool review on satellite tv pc that helped me decide. It's at [URL Deleted]. Hope it helps.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I hope it helped you decide that this is a huge SCAM. There simply is no truth to the claims that you can dump your satellite dish and get the same set of channels for free with some piece of software.

THANK YOU, BOB, AFTER READING YOUR COMMENTS, I'VE COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, 'IF IT'S TOO GOOD BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY ISN'T" AS A RULE, EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING FOR NOTHING! THANKS AGAIN, JOHN

Satellite TV on PC is definately not a scam. Yea, it is just a collection of live feeds, but they are organized into categories for easy access. Also, some of these programs will notify you when certain worldwide sporting events are being broadcasted. The one I bought was from {URL Deleted} and I use it mainly to watch soccer (because most games aren't offered in the U.S.) and HBO (because it's Free).

EDITOR'S NOTE: So bottom line: you're paying for something that you can get for free. If paying for easy access to the soccer programming (that you can get for free) makes your life better, then fine. But if you are getting HBO for free, it's not legal. HBO is a subscriber-only channel, and they have sued various internet companies that were providing a free feed. They could very well start going after the viewers directly, just like the RIAA, MPAA, and NBC are doing to people who download illegally.

Been checking out the sites you mentioned. Nothing comes close to www.tv-links.co.uk -- has hundreds of free recorded programmes and movies.

EDITOR'S NOTE: True enough... just be aware that most of them are commercial copyrighted content, and you run the risk of getting sued if you download and view them.

STOP DONT BUY: I purchased a software from this site http://www.satellitetvtopc.com/ for $49.95 and all was terrible. Buffering and rebuffering terrible. Most of 3000 channels they announce are not known tv stations with just garbage. I Contacted their support to get my money back and of course I did not get any response. It does not look a decent operation. It looks more like a scam. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS.

Can someone please give me an invitation to Joost? It's the only way to access their site. Thank you.

Sounds like bob is a direct tv exec. He gets a little pissy about any free tv on pc info. Take it easy bob, its just the internet.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The advice I offer is meant to protect people, not line the pockets of the entertainment providers. If you don't believe that lawyers for the entertainment industry are going after individuals who download copyrighted broadcasts, that's fine with me.
