Free Satellite TV on PC? - Comments Page 8

Ive looked at these programs in the past, and thank %#$@ my credit card wasnt in reach. Im very dubious of the net these days, but good on you for dedicating some time to genuinely helping people in my position! Especially your response to Darko, methinks he doesnt know what hes talking about.. In the wide world of the web, I have found a diamond in the rough - thy name is askbobrankin.com!!

tried all of the free streaming sites and here are the ones I like. Joost.com: is awesome use it all the time. Hulu.com: this is now my favorite it takes all of the recorded shows from the stations sites and plays them in full length. Search as station or show. Best of all its reliable. Veoh.com: it is just like hulu but a little better more program selections even has hd.

live-online-tv.com:this site has some cool stuff worth checking out. viewmy.tv: this is my favorite live stream video site has less channels compared to the others but they are reliable most of the time I was even able to get abc news the only thing I don't like is that stupid psp commercial they always play before opening a channel.

Itunes is also a grate place to buy and rent movies as well as net flix but Ituns service is free. Then besides these I am going to the site directly and watching movies on hd I am planing on getting rid of my dish I have so much to watch from just hulu alone I don't know what to do should it be Simpson or family guy hmmm I think I will watch the new episode of house

Thanks Bob for saving me $50, I almost bought satellite TV for PC until I found your article. I am going to bookmark your website in my favorites and subscribe to your newsletter, THANKS AGAIN!

I have purchased online a Satellite. It is a scam and they are dishonest liers PC-TV. Dont even think of trying it

Bob. Thanks for the article. I did want to let you know that when I went to the Free TV Online link, I was asked to accept a user agreement, which I did. I was then asked to download software, which downloaded a TROJAN HORSE. I would remove their link if I were you.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yikes, done! That site has apparently been bought out by Zango, which wants to install an adware application on your computer.

Thanks Bob, I almost buy that software but I ran across your article and changed my mine.

On a off topic note I am going to ditch my Dish and just pull my programing from the internet. I would like to connect my tv to the net without my pc. I was thinking on something like a D-link dms-520 and hooking that up to my tv. Any comment on this?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The DMS-520 supports Active-TV ONLINE, which This new feature in the DSM-520 enables access to TV programs, movies, video clips, and podcasts available on the Internet. It includes free, subscription, and fee-based online sources such as YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo!, ESPN, Fox Sports, MTV, etc. So you probably won't get all the channels you want, at least not for free. But if you're happy with the price and the selection, it's an interesting alternative to TV.

I recently signed up at shared-utopia.inf0 it is pretty quality. A lot better then streaming vids that keep going dead on sites like tvversity and tvshack

EDITOR'S NOTE: YALSA - Yet Anothet Lame Scamware Attempt. You bore me...

Many thanks for the heads up !

Bob, what About the FTA systems (free to air) made by sonic, coolsat, and alike? and what is with the web sites that offer updates for life? are they a gimmick? or are they selling

Key/unscrambling coding? I seen them advertised of your page when I did a search of anything you may have had to say about FTA.

EDITOR'S NOTE: In the comment right before yours, I wrote about FTA systems. Summary, you can get free (pirated) satellite signals, but beware of men in dark glasses.

THANK YOU!!! I almost bought it too. But I tripped over your website first. Whew! I'd like to get rid of satellite TV because I think it's too expensive for what I get(or what I am interested in watching). I think you've solved my dilemma. I'll be visiting your website regularly for techno/pc/internet advice.

I should have done a Google search before signing up for this PC Sattelite TV crap. It's a total SCAM. None of the so called available channels work. I figured it was a scam after I noticed that 75% of the money is given to affiliate web sites. I will instruct my credit card to issue a chargeback and recommend everyone else do the same to put these people out of business.

Thanks Bob for your candid advice. I have been trying more than 24 hours to get free satellite tv on pc. The ones that I have tried so far, none is working as expected. That to say there are many things fishing. I would try those ones you advised and see what happens. I have subscribed to your internet tips Newsletter anyway to be getting valuable advices from you. Once again, thanks for your advice.

Yes,they are scammers.Back in 02-2008 I paid $50 for "Tv to pc direct"They promise me supports but,the log in link die less than a month later.And they never answer my e-mails.

There is IGOCOLO where u can rent a dish and watch on your pc the same free channels as u had have one dish at your home and many free channels which people can watch by sattelite is impossible to watch on pc and now we have IGOCOLO witch make this possible.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I assume this requires that you use the illegal decoders mentioned earlier?

Mr. Rankin, thank you for your public service. As my father would say, "you sir are a gentlemen, and a scholar." Thank you. Oh, and thanks for telling us about online PC-TV alternatives too. I have been watching streaming video using WINAMP. Just be sure to turn the adult ratings off in your options menu, if you don't want to see adult videos! WINAMP is free, and doesn't contain adware/spyware. Just google it, and read what others say. Thanks again, -b- Kansas City

Thanks Bob! I saw an add pop up on one of the sites and I said 'what a great idea!' Googled for 'satellite tv for pc' and you were number one below the paid hits. Since there is so much interest, I think it IS a great idea, but we probably have to wait for a genuine solution, and I hope it's cheaper than what we pay for satellite TV today.

Thanks for the heads up. I almost purchased it but then decided to go deeper into it. I couldn't find the answers I wanted, so then I knew something was up. The plus of this . . . I had some creative ideas on how to use this to do some good. Many blessings for this. I know it took you many hours to review all this (check it out) of your precious time.

There is no way to watch satellite on PC, I know, I paid and got a list of channels, mostly Japanese-don't be fooled by these con artists

Those programs are absolute rubbish. Most channels don't work, the movie channels show repeatedly ancient (!) lowest quality second rate B-movies, many channels have moved to unknown locations. News coverage ok, but most channels have no programme. Total SCAM, get your credit card company immediately to make a re-charge.

I signed up a few days ago and paid $49.95 for "Satellite TV on your PC". Used my Amex card. The charge shows as "Clickbank". The download and service is a complete joke. Called Clickbank(Number was on my AMEX bill) and asked for a refund. They were very co-operative and sent me an e-mail confirm of my refund. I am now waiting to see if refund hits my Amex card.
