I get this question alot - you see I'm the owner of the site 3tvonline.com.
If this has interested you before you'll have seen all the ads:
"Get TV on your PC" or "Get Satellite TV for your PC"m "3000+ Channel get satellite tv on your p" etc...
You'll know what I mean!
For many people it's the dream - to get free satellite tv, to be able to watch all your favourite sports, movies, videos, documentaries, without having to pay huge monthly payments or installation charges.
Here's the problem...
95% of the companies out there selling satellite tv software are nothing more than snake oil salesmen, ripped you off and stealing your money.
But...
With the right software you can watch all the channels you want, you just need to know which ones to choose.
So what's the problem?
There are loads of people out there selling licenses to old, out of date satellite tv pc software. Just head to eBay and do a search. And if any old Joe can sell the software then there's gonna be a problem, because 99.9% of these people have no clue on how to up date their products (as they've just brought a resale licence).
Some of these are years old and the channels have long been changed or removed. You see, many are stream from foreign sources where copyright laws are less enforced, so occassionally they get shut down.
So how do you know which ones to choose?
You have to find the established companies that have spent considerable time researching, developing and updating their products.
Look for the follow when choosing a satellite tv for pc software:
How long have they been in business?
Do they offer a refund or return policy?
Do they have a large user base?
Do they update the software regularly (look for an edition/year) number?
Use your due diligence.
Just use your common sense. If you are not sure, don't buy. Simple.
