Free Satellite TV on PC? - Comments Page 22

The site adthe.net is this a valid site?? an can you watch tv programs from it like tnt an usa???

EDITOR'S NOTE: Apparently not. When I visit the site, it says: "This domain has been seized by ICE- Homeland Security Investigations..."

I have to agree with you, Bob. All those networks are out there for free, just for searching. I have over 50 watchable network icons in a folder on my desktop, and we use nothing but the computer to watch enough free programs, we don't need to waste money on paid services. Two good ones that you didn't mention are SlashControl.com for TV and Movies, and Crackle.com for all movies.

Also fastpasstv.ms for movies and tv

In the UK we have BBC iPlayer for PC, this is also built in as an app to my LED tv. This is the future of tv streaming, straight onto the hardware player tv is designed to be shown on. Picture takes my breath away. Yes, you need a fast-ish internet connection, and more services will be added over time, I hope. Shame that scamware like this will only taint genuine efforts to get this technology working. I only wish ITV would get their act together to do the same for the main commercial channels.

Is there any worry about information being stolen? The website had the McAffe and Versign trust lables on it, but my dad fell for this scam and lost his 13 bucks to it. So what do we have to worry about?
please email me and let me know.

For free tv from around the world, try wwitv.com.
No charge.

Wish I had found this site last night before my purchase of Satellite Direct. $50 later and I knew I had gotten burned. Do not fall for this hype!

There is a simple way to be able to watch tv from your pc... Satellite can cause a lot of problems and cable can get boring.. for more info go to http://www.satellite-blah-blah-blah-yetAnotherClickbankAffiliate.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: How clever! Another fake review site pointing to a Clickbank affiliate site for the same old scam... (I've obfuscated the URL above)

I recently visited a website that featured satellite tv on pc software and I went ahead and bought one. I was skeptical at first but after installing the download I was amazed at all the channels I was able to get. I bought this from www.satellitetvtopc.inf0 this seems to be the site everyone is going to to find the best satellite on pc software. thanks...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Oh, really... Is that why HostGator suspended the account? Same old scam, Larry.

Interesting article, and a good alternative perspective. I have to qualms with you about calling all the tv on pc products "scamware" you are free to do that. About you trying to rank this article in G and making money off CPC ads that you run, well I would like to see you either take the ads off, log into your adsense account and restrict the ads that are displayed (you can restrict which domain ads get served off), or donate the money to charity - then I will believe you are not simply trying to drive traffic off the "satellite tv scam" keywords for profit.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Max, you can believe what you want about my motives. I've addressed the issue of the ads on this page several times in the comments here. I make no bones about being a "for profit" publisher -- this website is my job, and it has to pay the bills or the free content goes away. As for my charitable giving, that's private, but rest assured it far exceeds the pennies I make from having ads on this article.

Hi Bob , thank you for great article , i really like the way your explain how to get free satellite tv on your tv , but the way you are showed here not include alote of channels -

If you go to the Joost web site, it now says:

"Thanks for your support and interest in Joost.com. We are re-evaluating the Joost.com purpose and services. For the near-term we have decided to suspend the site to allow for a full re-evaluation. Thanks again."

"Why do you sometimes have ads on this page for the same type of products that you warn against?" That's a fair question, and I've answered it several times in the comments."

Your explanation suggests 'Google' controls your site and not you, please explain. Being aware that Google displays relevant ads that contradict what you claim about such products is quite the oxymoron and reduces your credibility, though probably not your bank account.

You try to make it sound as though you have no control over what Google ads appear on your site and hope that 'people read the ads' and be warned. I find this to be the epitome of hypocrisy. And no, I do not believe my comment will be published nor do I expect it.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Surprise... you're published! You can call me a hypocrite if you like, but aren't you forgetting that I took the trouble to research the issue, and publish an article warning people away from this scam? When you read a newspaper or magazine, when you listen to radio or tv, do you assume that every ad is vetted, approved and endorsed by the publisher or broadcaster? Of course not, nobody does. So why expect a different standard on the Internet?

As for the ads, I wouldn't say I have *no* control over the ads that Google displays, but not much. Google selects ads based not only on the context of the page, but on individual user preferences, activities and other sites they've visited. Even if I were to try and monitor every ad that appears on the page (and over 1000 other articles on this website), it would take so much time that I wouldn't be able to research, write and publish new articles. Or respond to comments like yours.

As I've said before, if people come to this page, and don't bother to read what I've written (or decide to disregard it) and then click on an ad that's promoting the very scam I'm warning against, then there's not much I can do to help those folks.

Is this a scam too?

EDITOR'S NOTE: No. That device lets you connect a coaxial cable from your TV antenna to your PC.

You are right, the software just contain links to broadcast online.

They can't replace a dish satellite .If someone wants to watch HBO or Cinemax, he still needs a Direct tv, these softwares contain only link to
free broadcast television already available online. Guys if you need help with your computer's problem, check this website www.troubleshooting-for-computer.com
It has plenty of advice and help for you pc

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.

your article is very precise. nowadays everyone is moving to internet tv not cable anymore. i personally use onchannel.net for watching and streaming movies, tv shows and tv.

I agree with Bob as to most of the TV on your PC and satellite programs are for the most part scams and that HBO/and other channels are not free as I fell for the offers myself...But there is one I pay $14.95 per month for and get many good stations such as max / HBO/Showtime/Movie channel, and many other programs that are pay programs on cable service that cost you 3X the amount for the same service that I get for the $14.95 per month ...I have had cable service for many years as well as satellite service but now save a lot of money with the few internet service I have now. I did away with cable service some time ago and only purchase there Internet service package now and save about $100.00 a month.
Also Bob thank you for your great service and info you give as I have been able to put to use some of your valuable info.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Are you going to tell us your little secret? :-)

I had bought Satellite TV for PC and it just gave me a link to a site anyone can access online for free.

A ripoff, because telling me about a website isn't a product it's more of an article with a link at the bottom.
