Default Free Sky TV on PC?

Hi

My daughter wants me to subscribe to one of several companies advertising free sky and other channels through our PC. Most of them say it can be obtained by paying a one off fee and can be accessed in the UK, Spain or anywhere else in the world.

I am suspicious about this. Can anyone tell me whether it is a con or not?

Thanks

Graham

the only way that a PC is going to recieve sky tv is by live streaming from a company or another person with sky..

how much is it - sounds interesting !

so far adding a second box to our existing sky dish has cost me 50 euros.

The one I was referring to is www.watchtvonnet.com.

Some others that have been mentioned are:

www.skyonlinetv.co.uk
www.netstreams.tv
www.watchskyfree.com
www.watch-television-online.biz

I am still dubious, but I hope I am wrong.

calum141 is an unknown quantity at this point

Hi,

No this is not what it is saying.

Similar things are advertised on eBay, also known as e-books, and it even says on one of the websites it's a pdf file you'll recieve with url's to live streams, i tried it for fun, it's a fake.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FREE-SATELLITE...QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x-Watch-Sky-Di...QQcmdZViewItem

just 2 of 167 items for sale at the moment of this product on ebay.

good luck,

Calum

Appears to be a scam. There is some information here.

Apparently its a collection of channels none of which are actually BSkyB channels.
