Watch Satellite TV for free
well almost free, but what the hell is this? Anyone has it can give some comments? Is it scam, fraud, or simply as good as it says?

Looks like you can get all of the channels you wouldn't watch it you DID get them now, for only $49.95.
Ain't no HBO or Skinemax on there for sure....

That specific thing is a scam.
There is free satellite (called FTA, Free To Air), which is just unencoded satellite feeds from all over the world. If you can point your (big ugly giant) dish at the right satellite, you can get their feed. This software is just a collection of junk (lists of channels, satellite coordinates, probably some kind of front end viewer to watch what's coming out of the satellite receiver anyways). It doesn't include any equipment, not does it get you channels that are encoded. Basically, if you want to watch church shows from Columbia, or shopping channels from Greenland, or the local news from Fargo, you can do so for free right now anyways. You won't be watching HBO and ESPN.

I paid $29.99 for this a year ago when operating overseas and it was fair.
The channel selection was poor and lots of third world crap. If you like watching Serbia play Bosnia at soccer or so on might be worth it but otherwise... We were in the Middle East and trying to find something (anything) that was in English other than frigging CNN. It was better than nothing.
