Satellite TV on PC is a scam

I keep getting asked about these Satellite TV for PC products that are available for a hefty price all over the internet and asked if they are any good? After all it sounds way too good to be true – Watch Satellite and Cable TV on your PC – Thousands of premium channels and the latest movies all in superb quality. Well heres the lowdown and its not pretty.

As already discussed in my previous eloquent post Satellite TV for PC review. Is it a pile of poo?? these products are a scam, and at the very least are a complete waste of money. After forking out anywhere between 29 – 99 dollars your presented with a menu of free online television broadcasts or a P2P program. Most of the TV channels will be foreign and many of them will not work.

They come in many names and guises, professional and slick looking sales pages hide the shocking truth. Amongst the more well known of these Satellite TV on PC products are:- PC Satellite TV, Digital TV 4 PC, Satellite TV Elite, Satellite TV on PC, Satellite TV for PC 2008 Elite Edition, Titanium Edition, TV on PC Elite. OK you get the idea they all have similar sounding names and are all pretty similar products.

So what exactly is the Satellite TV PC scam? Well after payment you will download a software program or even just a webpage link usually consisting of a list of free to view tv channels that are all available for free on worldtvpc.com. Thats pretty bad right? Well the other product you may get in this kind of deal either on its own or bundled with the satellite tv product is a P2P program thats also available for free on worldtvpc.com!

Although this is obviously a scam, you do kind of in a roundabout way get whats promised.

• Hundreds of TV channels – err. yep thats a check.
• Latest Movies and TV shows – also check.

  But what your not told when you pay those $50 or so big ones is that the very same content is all available totally free on sites like ours. They do not deliver on their promises. You DO NOT get any Satellite or Cable premium/pay per view channels for free. The product you will get is readily available for free.

Unfortunately there is no way to turn your PC into a satellite TV receiver and get free Sky, HBO or other premium content. Funnily enough the satellite companies are starting to broadcast channels over the internet, but you will have to pay ( see Sky launch online TV if you dont mind paying!).

You have to understand that the Satellite and Cable companies are fighting a massive battle against illegal use of their channels and hunt down and prosecute anyone attempting it, they would never allow their channels to be streamed on your PC for very long without closing it down.

There is however some good news if you havent already shelled out some green for these dodgy products. You can by browing our Free Internet TV site find a large selection of free tv broadcasts and channels including the BBC, Comedy Central, Discovery, ESPN and many more from around the world.

Look at our Catch-up TV section and find the official websites containing the TV station or broadcast of your choice and view live or recent broadcasts.

Visit our P2P section if your looking to download the latest TV shows and films and visit our TV shows and movies section to search for the latest movies

So do not fall for these satellite tv pc products, you wont get access to anything that is not already freely available right here.

The end of Satellite TV on PC products

As internet tv moves forward and more and more broadcasters get online these software products will become less and less popular because the public are catching on to the fact that although Internet TV is free and doesnt need to be paid for and Premium content is available via catch up tv sites. If you really want to watch HBO or other premium channels online, then you will have to pay for it.
