Can I Really Get Free Satellite TV on my PC?
Everything I've read about this type of thing tells me it's a scam, or at least a waste of money. https://newmeta525.weebly.com/barudan-embroidery-machine-manual.html. 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.
If you're considering buying a software package named 'PC Satellite TV', 'Satellite TV Elite', 'Satellite TV on PC', 'Satellite TV for PC Elite Edition', 'TV on PC Elite', 'Digital TV 4 PC' or anything similar.. they are ALL THE SAME type of scamware. You will pay $40 and in return you'll get a crappy software program that does NOT deliver what it promises. You WILL NOT get any premium or pay-per-view channels for free. The only thing these packages offer is links to online video sites that you could find for free with a quick search on Google or Yahoo.
Sorry, but there's no way to turn your PC into a satellite dish and get free HBO or MTV. But there is some good news.. You CAN get lots of free satellite television programming on your TV, if you have a satellite dish and a 'free-to-air' satellite receiver box. My companion article Free Satellite TV explains it all in detail.
You can also use your internet-connected computer to tune into a huge number of free television broadcasts. You can watch SOME programs from 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.
Here are some links to popular TV network websites:

Free download photo apps. If you don't see what you want there, try one of these sites that aggregate content from various video and TV sites across the Internet:
Exposing the 'free satellite tv on pc' scam has not made me popular with some people. Many times I've received emails from people saying that I'm a liar, that I must be 'really old fashioned' or 'a Direct TV executive.' Others post comments here with a glowing review of some Satellite TV software and a link to buy. But EVERY TIME, it's the exact same scamware, being sold through an affiliate link. My advice here is only meant to protect people who might otherwise be tempted to waste their money and fall for this scam.
As I said before, these programs will NOT give you access to anything that's not already freely available on the Web. What this software provides (when it actually works) is little more than a searchable list of websites that offer streaming video. You can find the same information yourself with a search engine query. It's ONLY dishonest people, who stand to profit from ignorance, that continue to push this scam. Don't fall for it.
Oh, and one last point.. every few months someone posts a comment and asks '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. But since those replies can get buried after a while, I'm going to address the issue here. The Google ads are not under my control, and are automatically selected for relevance to the content of the page. And in an ironic way, even those questionable ads are. My hope is that people will actually *READ* the article and understand why they should NOT believe the hype. Click if you want, just be forewarned.

Posted by: Leonard Morrell 30 Jan 2014 | 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? :-) |
Posted by: Karl 02 Jun 2014 | 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. |

Posted by: John 25 Feb 2015 | Enjoyed the article and especially your replies to the various comments. Some folks learn and some just spurn. Thanks, Bob |
Posted by: Snert 04 Apr 2015 | This comment is off the mark; if you don't post it Bob, I won't mind. Why watch TV? What you do is your business but it's a lot more fun and a LOT healthier to get out there and DO SOMETHING. Sitting on your behinder watching some paid professional doing BS isn't my idea of entertainment. Reality TV should show people vegging out watching reality shows. |

Posted by: T. Olivar 18 Sep 2015 | Beware of the 'Rabbit TV' USB device. It does the very same thing that you wrote about. It is basically a USB memory stick that contains a listing of web-site addresses that you click on, and it sends you to the selected site. Places like YouTube, Hulu, BBC-America and even Netflix. Also, it provides a listing of domestic and foreign radio stations that you can listen to. Problem is that a lot of the supposedly free listed TV and radio stations are in a foreign language, has no real content worth watching or listening to, or are no longer in service. So Buyers, Beware. |
Posted by: Jim 19 Dec 2015 | Try Sling TV, a very viable alternative to cable. I watch 'over the air' and Sling with sports for $25 a month thru high speed internet. |

Posted by: David Quinn 13 Jun 2016 | Thank you for the information whenever we visit Florida from England we will not be fooled by these scams now. |
Posted by: Susan 10 Jul 2016 | FYI, you may want to re-evaluate listing the hyperlink for Joost. I just visited there and found this statement: '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.' |
Posted by: Richard 19 Aug 2016 | Try 'Film on' it lets me watch most uk TV channels plus hundreds more from around the world on my PC free of charge, for 5€ a month I can record up to 4 hours content. With the addition of Chrome Cast I can stream straight to my TV. The only draw back could be, you need a very good Wi-Fi connection, with good download speed. |
Posted by: Herb 23 Nov 2016 | I used to get Dish network, but, decided not to get any more. However, I still get the Dish advertisements and info about Dish. If I still get these without paying anything, do you think it's possible to get other channels on the Dish somehow? Thanks, Herb |

Posted by: John Guy 01 Mar 2018 | A few years ago I saw the 'Rabbit TV' USB dongle at my local Dollar Tree. Figured for a buck why not. It was of course just as you say it is Bob. Just a searchable list of channels I could find on my own. I may have used Rabbit 3 times total and then after a year found I'd have to pay $19.99 or $10.00 for another year of use. I didn't bother, could have just gone to the Dollar Tree and bought another one for a buck. |

Posted by: Dave White 24 Feb 2019 | Check out locast.org. They are a non-profit that sends local over-the-air broadcast stations via the internet. Apparently it's legal to do so for nonprofits, although there is an expectation of legal action at some point. Their service is free, although they do request donations. The last thing is that they are only available in certain cities at this point. It does work quite well! |
Posted by: James 24 Mar 2019 | Do you recommend those flat antenna you put on window inside bought a couple of those that suppose to reach 200 miles away and they don’t work also the live wire ones don’t work. There is an hexagon antenna that doesn’t work where I live. |
