Anyone ever get the 3,000 or so worldwide satellite TV for your PC?

Tons of those sites are springing up now on the Internet.

Are they legit? Do they really work?

Some offer all MLB games and other sports. Plus, you can't beat mud wrestling from Hungary.

Just wondering if any of them are legit. thx

It's a scam. Almost bought it until I emailed asking for a sample list of channels.

The channels they "sell" you are all availabe for free online.

Lots of local cable access type channels.

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:
