I buy it and works perfectly good except the pay per view chanels that they are trcked by the fbi and i was under arrest 25 hours so buy it.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like a great plan... spend $40 needlessly, then spend 25 hours in jail. Why didn't I think of that?

Thank you Bob, all you say is true!! Whay they offer is TVU, which is a decent web site and u could get Spike TV, Sci-fi channel and others and decent quality but it is FREE!! Just go to their website like they direct to (after u pay) and dwld gor free. wake up people and do a little search (work) and find everything they sell like this on the web for free!! Oh yea for the guy above who purchased Digital TV , search google for it like I did and you will see that it is a total free dwld and you can even dwld a player from them if u want. Bob keep up the good work, and for the people who insist on buying it, well like they say "A sucker is born everyday",

The whole idea of being able to get "free" TV on my PC, which I soon began to think...I could even buy a PC to TV "cable", (whatever they call that), and before long I was having visions of having the best TV system (for free) in the entire state of Kansas. (Yes, we do have electric).

But due to this excellent website of Bob's, I realized that if I kept "dreaming" like this, I would become the next victim of this "scamware".

Bob, the $40 you saved me may not sound like much to many people, but for a family of Six, it really does make a difference. Thankyou, so much.

Bob, What a delight to find the truth. THANKYOU. You have saved me some money. What my question is, is there any system available whereby I can actually pay to view pay tv on my p.c.? Can I buy a dish and encoder, pay by the month (?) and view. Not a stupid question, but a futile search has led me to seeking your help in being able to watch English (American) television in Viet Nam. Where I live, Ha Noi, there is no cable available near my building and I can't seem to find a satellite supplier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It sounds like satellite is your best hope. Maybe you could contact a satellite provider in the US and ask them if it's possible.

Although i am wary of these free tv sites and apps too, i did stumble across some great sites last night when looking for the Australia vs Bahrain football match. Check out myp2p.eu for a list of links of live sport. Although in the states you guys will probably get most of this in primetime and free to air, its a bit difficult in Australia if you are a fan of Major LEague or NFL or Soccer or Rugby Union. MyP2p saved me from signing on to another expensive cable subscription. Check it out - some links to live sport are via mediaplayer and others are via streaming applications like UUsee and SopCast. SopCast i found really choppy (could be my link) but UUsee came through with the goods for the soccer last night. I plugged my laptop into my TV and sat back and watched the game live via a Japanese network. It was massive! I highly recommend doing research before buying anything like the $40 Sat to PC servrices,a s there are plenty of free alternatives around it seems.

I also think this market will mature over the next few years and cheaper, better quality streams and services will be offered for the average punter into their loungerooms.

Enjoy!

Many of these sites claiming to give you free satellite tv are pretty shady.

Hm... Those people have 1000s of channels. Yeah they may be available for free... Here's the thing: Many of these channels change their websites and such. Can you keep up with 3000s of channels everyday? I think that $40 is a good price for getting all these channels indexed in one software.

EDITOR'S NOTE: So you think that a static piece of software will be able to keep up with the changes better than the search engines? If so, by all means, buy it!

I've seen a couple the last few years and they were utterly disappointing. Most of the channels didnt work and the quality was terrible of those that did. No premium channels what so ever either. Thank you and enjoy your Snickers bar!

Bob Thanks for sharing this information. I was fooled by the hype of screwing my cable company. Now reading your information. I will keep my $40 and do my own search. I also had a copy of warez of free TV and it was crap.

The reason why you see so many different and misleading ads about this "Satellite TV on your PC" is because the company is recruiting people to sell it on their personal websites and any other way they can. At the top of satellitesoft.com, they try to get you to purchase the bogus software and if that does not work, they try to get you to sell it. That is why it's so hard to find the truth about this scam, because many people are flooding the internet with ads to sell it. In all reality, it only took me about 30 minutes to find all of this out.

Hello. Could anyone give me some help with information on how to contact and get a refund from Satellite TV for PC. Yes i paid the 50 they changed, and it was a failure. Not at all what they advertise in the many different affiliate sites. Terrible. I've looked for contact information or anyone to contact to get this refunded, and there is no info anywhere. I even tried reaching out to the person listed as owner of the domain on Who's Who, and nothing. Plse Help! THANK YOU

EDITOR'S NOTE: Contact your bank and request a chargeback.

If you want to have access to satelite TV for free on your PC, there is a way to do that. You will need to install a FTA PCI card on your PC for example the "Digiware 103G". The you will need a Satelite antena with an LBN. That will give you access to all channels on the satelites you receive on the antena.

Do some research on FTA... there are even "Fixed Firmware files that can be loaded to an FTA receiver and decodify scrambled channels such as HBO, etc. This will be cheaper that cable TV but require some investment... nothing is free in this world, and if they say it is free... be carefull... you will pay one way or another.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I chatted further with MGMS and what he describes is a way to connect a satellite antenna to your computer, via a special interface card. There are some free unscrambled over-the-air satellite channels you can pick up doing this. But in order to receive the scrambled/encrypted channels (that you'd normally have to pay for), you'll need to find and download "key files" that enable your satellite receiver to decode them.

Of course this is not legal. But as MGMS says "if you are in the middle of the Sonora Desert I do not think you will have any problems with the FCC." Not in the desert? MGMS says "as long as you don't invite someone from Direct TV to your home to watch a movie, you are safe."

So proceed at your own risk, and don't ask me for help on this topic. My technology gut tells me that if the satellite providers were sufficiently motivated, they could somehow detect this activity.
