| Beware: www.orderfreetv.com now advertising on radio
See this topic: »Another TVU wannabe?
I heard an ad for this on the radio last night. Even though the woman speaking sounded just like a typical "FREE-SATELLITE-TV-ON-YOUR-PC!" scam, a radio sponsor somehow has more of a legit feel than an internet pop-up, so I decided to look into it. As expected it IS a typical "FREE-SATELLITE-TV-ON-YOUR-PC!" scam. At least, I consider selling something free a scam. Looking at the screenshots, you can see that its just a collection of media links you can find on other websites. (google "live TV streams")
Another similar page is »www.4tvonpc.com/. They advertise on TVUPlayer all the time. (and get their messages removed almost as fast as they can post them)
The amusing thing about these is they don't look anything like websites of professional software developers. This one is written from the perspective of an unbiased 3rd party reviewer.(LOL) It looks more like a letter sent in the mail trying to sign people up for some pyramid scheme. That and it's full of outright lies. They probably don't expect anyone to read the whole thing. It's hard to feel sympathy for people that fall for this. Their existence annoys me nonetheless.  (Maybe if you just have money to waste...)
Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up again since somebody else might have heard the ad. If you're looking for free TV over the internet, I recommend you look at the links on the "TVoIP FAQ" of this forum, especially the aforementioned TVU: »www.tvunetworks.com/. They have channels like FOX News, CBS, Sci-fi, Spike, Wheels, Versus, plus many channels you can't get on TV. (anyone can be a broadcaster, most of 'em are worthless IMO but at least it's actually free)
If you've used that "100% LEGAL, BREAKTHROUGH" software or anything like it and agree or disagree, please feel free to reply. Thanks.
Interesting forum btw. Good luck!  |
