Free Satellite TV on PC? - Comments Page 16

Thanx bob u have confirmed what suspected
the only one worth a dam is tvu & it`s free
but then u get what u pay for ha ha

I bought the program Satellight Direct. It is a scam and they will not refund my money.

I admit, i was tempted ! Satellite Direct were advertising a game i was desperate to see, and i couldn't find it anywhere on the web. After a google search of the company, before parting with my hard earned cash, i came across this place !
So many thanks to Bob Rankin and his team for the info ...keep it going folks :)

Thanks Bob,for your in put on the satellite to pc scam. I was about to throw away 40 bucks lol ,but i have found live stream to fox news and that really helped out being im a news junky,so i dropped my dish and now putting that money under my mattress again ty....

I'm so glad i found this. I googled it with "scam" added at the end and all I got were glowing reports on the product, all written in the same clipped English ... obviously the same people posting all over the place to cloud possible buyers vision of what this really is.

My curiosity was aroused when their ads failed to provide clear details of the channels offered with this service, so I searched to find out more info. Thank you for posting this :)

If you're looking for something free this is what i know

TVU Player
TVants
Theres a few others with that to

Thanks so much! You just saved us $$ and we are grateful!

I once tried such a program. Just out of curiousity. I bought it using a Paypal account. Result:

I was billed for 40 dollars. I got a program that is actually freeware. All the channels were also available using internet explorer. In the end I complained at Paypal and demanded a refund because I was misled. Paypal gave me back my money, but they also wouldn't take measurements against the person that is doing this scam.

Lesson: always use a service to pay a bill that gives some kind of payback protection.

Good to see that someone brings this to attention.

thank you bob yoo u kind

Thanks a lot for exposing this SCAM. I googled and found this , which is what I suspected but thought I'd better check. Misleading is too nice a term for these company's advertisements, hopefully people get to see what you have to say before they get fooled.

Thank you bob yoo are very kind

like the ole saying goes . . . IF it sounds to good to be true . .it is.

Satellite Direct is a SCAM. They'll "supposedly" going to refund me within 5 business days. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks mate,like all the other comments,uv saved me $ that i saved towards buying the same product.Thanks.

man i was about to shell out 29 bucks till i read this! thank you so much!!!!

Thanks man, I had been searching and searching for confirmation that it was a scam. I knew it was, I just wanted to hear it from someone else. Someone has spent/is spending a lot of time keeping this scam going though. And they have done a good job of burying anything like your article which exposes them.

Same here, I was tempted and decided to google it first. When something looks too good to be true it usually is, or isn't. :) Thank you very much. Almost fell for that.

thanks man...you save my 40 dollars, there are so many scams out there. Your article also very usefull

Hi Rob, your take on "free satellite tv" software is very interesting and informative as well. About these satellite pc vendors, we buy their efforts for developing software even if we know that they can be available for free and at times crappy. (Well, Microsoft has crappy software too). Linux distros are free. But lots of people still prefer to BUY the Novell-Linux distribution.

When vendors offers a money-back guarantee with a secured e-commerce cart using third parties such as Paypal or Clickbank, which I believe most of these vendors offer to their customers, its really hard to say that they are scammers. Because if they do, then all Novell-Linux vendors are scammers as well.

Here's my $0.02 advice to my fellow buyers: For as long as you buy a product with a money-back guarantee from a reputable, with secured e-commerce site, then you're fine. When you don't want it , just return it. Sometimes, we call scamming when we mean, "not what I expected."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Interesting that you would advocate buying something that you KNOW in advance is a misrepresented, poor quality product that won't do what it promises to do. But here's an idea: Buy this software from five different vendors, then try to get your money back. Report your results here...

Thanks.
I have been ripped off by these so called legitimate software businesses too many times. The information you have provided has been very beneficial
