ChristianTroy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 BKKTraveller, i was just looking into this this weekend. The site you have posted seems to be indentical with this one http://www.pc-satellite-tv.org which comes from the same company as this one http://www.digitaltvonpc.com/ on the weekend all sites had a different email adress referring to a company satellitesoft.com, however it turned out that the software they are selling is available for free here is the free software which is 100% identical with the one you are supposed to pay for http://www.clickbusinessnetwork.com/elite/secure/ it is spyware and virus free. When you install it you will see that it isn't what you are expecting google up "satellitesoft.com scam" and you will find this link again and many forum entries about it! The only way to receive the major networks through the internet is currently via IPTV which requires a set-top-box receiver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Not true, and this is from someone who sells IPTV STB's. You can get cards for PC's, whcih act like a internal IPTV STB, or you can watch TV via YouTube, which is also IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) For the BEST results though, you do need a IPTV network AND a IPTV STB DOG - It's what I do for a $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianTroy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Not true, and this is from someone who sells IPTV STB's. In this case I am happy you proofed me wrong! Maybe you can help me (sorry for hijacking) How can I receive Fox, ABC and other major networks in Thailand an Germany without a STB! What would I have to do to achieve that! And the next question is... could I get my hands on something like directTV with a STB in HD and use it in Thailand and Germany! I am particularly interested in watching TV Shows such as 24, Prison Break, Lost, Nip/Tuck i wouldn't need 2000 channels just 3 or 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Sure, just move the satellite and you can 5 5 5 5 5 - you got the $? Yes you can get the content, but will it be in HD - NO You can get get Fox etc, but you DONT need a IPTV STB, you need a DVB-S (Satellite) box with a dish aimed at the right satellite. Direct TV Satellites are no where near the horizon, so no chanec there, however a relay hop of the content wil be able to be gotten, but you need the right decoder etc. IPTV STB's are NOT the solution satellite systems, pirate mostlikely, will get you what you want. For content that is not beamed over satellite that sits over this area, then you'll need to see if someone is streaming that over IP, and watch hopefully via a PC, good luck!

Barry Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I joined something similar once and all I got was a text file listing a load of free streaming video sites. I complained to Paypal and fucked him up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
