Free Satellite TV: Is it Really Costless?

Published by HAZEL LEONG in Cable and Satellite TV, 3 months 17 hours 38 seconds ago

A costless viewing of satellite TV sounds great. Over a couple of months, some online advertisements have been offering free satellite TV. Many may be thinking that it is just a cheap online gimmick and some thought of the idea as impossible. Let us take a look on this subject and know if it is truly possible and if it is how we can use it.

Maybe some viewers are confused when they hear or see free satellite TV ads. They think that what is offered for free is the satellite TV to watch but in reality the offer that is free pertains to the equipments that will be used to set up the satellite TV. This is commonly offered by satellite or cable providers. Equipments and installation is free but you have to sign up for a subscription that may run for a year or two. This means you can watch satellite TV for a monthly fee subscription for the entire contract. So the next time you an ad stating that your satellite TV watching is free, be prepared to pull out at $20 every month from your pockets.

Some groups of satellite TV providers are offering satellite TV for free with the use of digital television and DishNet cards. They even use satellite emulators, smart cards and bootloaders which are used to intercept TV signals from major TV services. You can eliminate that monthly fee if you buy these gadgets. But a major caution should be advised to you if you are thinking of using these gadgets.

It is risky to use these gadgets to watch satellite TV because it can cause major trouble on you. It can make your whole satellite TV to crash so as your TV viewing. This is what happens in reality. Digital satellite systems programmers are using some electronic counter measures to deactivate or jam the smart cards and emulators. It is expected that if you use emulators, you can have satellite TV channels for free. The pirates who do business on these cards are smart also. They include an anti-ECM program with their cards to prevent deactivation. This cycle will keep on going. As a result, those who are using these gadgets will just keep on buying the cards or have it reconfigured to be able to watch satellite TV. So the cost of their expense will just keep on getting bigger. It is better to pay monthly cable or satellite service fee. At least they would know that as long as they are paying that monthly fee, they will continue to watch satellite TV legally.

This is the reality in the satellite TV entertainment industry. Now, it is possible to watch satellite TV on their computers. They just have to download special software and they will get thousands of channels and a lifetime satellite TV viewing.
