Free Satellite TV on PC?
"I saw a website advertising software that's supposed to give you free satelite TV on your PC. The program costs $40, but they claim it lets you watch hundreds of live worldwide channels free of charge. Sounds too good to be true... is this a scam?"

Can I Really Get Free Satellite TV on my PC?
[ En Español: Satélite Televisión Gratis para PC? ]
Everything I've read about this type of thing tells me it's a scam, or at least a waste of money. The software you get for your forty bucks is nothing more than a menu of free online television broadcasts. Most of the stations listed are foreign, and the list contains many entries that are obsolete or do not work.
Sorry, but there's no way to turn your PC into a satellite dish and get free HBO. But there is some good news... You CAN use your internet-connected computer to tune into a huge number of free television broadcasts. You can watch the BBC News, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, ESPN, and other broadcasts from around the world.
I suggest that you first go to the official website of the TV station or broadcast that you'd like to watch and look for a link to view live or recent broadcasts. If you don't see what you want there, try one of these sites:

There is this site I found, I think it might be useful for people. I have bought the software and it works. -- http://www.watchsatellitetvonpc.zzz EDITOR'S NOTE: I've obfuscated the URL because it's obviously a shill for the same worthless, bogus software. |

How can you argue that satellite TV on PC does not work and at the same time have adds like "The computer TV" linking to and "Satellite TC on PC" where you can buy the software that you are saying is not working at all... EDITOR'S NOTE: I've addressed that question 3 or 4 times already. Please see the earlier comments. |

There is a way to get free satellite TV for PC. I was researching into this with some guys at college as our cable charge just kept on going up and up and up! This costs 50 bucks, you get 3000+ channels, not only all the ones on your TV right now like CNN, NBC, MTV, you also get satellite radio stations. The user interface is real easy to use, all you need is an internet connection. You can also link your laptop to your TV and watch as you usually would. I will put the link below, there is no spyware we checked it, and it is not illegal like most other deals...check it out, really recommend it, especially for college students and people who travel. It's called Satellite TV for PC link is below EDITOR'S NOTE: Shame on you, Tom. The software you've linked to is NO DIFFERENT than any of the other SAT-TV-PC scams. And of course it's a Clickbank affiliate link that benefits you when other people get scammed. |

I've read your posts and understand your concerns regarding the Free TV For PC dilemma. First let me thank this site's admin & commentators for allowing me this opportunity to address this issue. I myself am an administrator for a FREE TV website. Rest assured it does not cost $40. The software is however considered FREE being that there are no monthly service bills ever and the direct link to download this software entails a one-time incentive. I personally believe this is an advantage over paying $90 a month or more for satellite / cable tv. Yes, the catch is that the 1,000+ channels & radio stations I solicit have to be viewed and / or listened to through Windows Media Player 10 (system requirements for the software are listed here: tubefree.info). But wait! Folks are already multi-playing through their game consoles on their televisions, through their PCs! If one were hardware inclined Windows Media Player could be wired to your TV somehow. Keep in mind that the Player can adjust to a fullscreen view and display a quality picture. The software I'm explaining requires no extra hardware, saves you from spending $40 or more, saves you from monthly satellite / cable bills & is extremely simple to setup. Ultimately you'll be enjoying FREE TV for the masses from the comfort of your computer, 1000+ channels & radio stations. I thank you for your kind attention. EDITOR'S NOTE: So many other sites offer everything you have for free. Why pay for yours? |

Hi all, I know this seems unreasonable. But I once sold Satellite tv for your pc on ebay and made quite a bit of money doing it. But ebay recently changed their policy on digital downloads so am no longer able to do so. Bad for me good for you. Because I am now giving it away. There is a total of 10 downloads and 2 seperate site I supply links to that do not require any download. Here is the link for free: Enjoy!!! EDITOR'S NOTE: There's a crack in your altruism... or maybe in your head. I've changed the URL above to protect the innocent. |

The editor was kind enough to point out that 'other sites' offer the same for free. I don't doubt it but I'd like the editor to divulge them to our esteemed readers which sites do. EDITOR'S NOTE: Several free online TV sites have been mentioned in the article and subsequent comments. I also wrote a full article on Joost, which seems to be the most promising of the bunch. See http://askbobrankin.com/what_is_joost.html |
