Satellite Direct Review – SatelliteDirect

Not too long ago I was doing some online research and came across the tv on pc concept of SatelliteDirect.   While the idea was a bit crazy to me at the time, my first reaction was that Satellite Direct was a full blown scam.  I was skeptical to say the least as I am with everything I buy online.  My next thought was if it DOES WORK, is it legal?  I began some extensive research to solve the questions I had.  I wanted to save some monthly money so I needed to know for sure.

While I was tempted to buy right then and there, I held off until my research was complete.  I was living in Europe for 90 days on a work assignment, and my favorite football team was playing a really big game later that day.  When I thought I could just download a software on my computer and get instant access to television programing  had me skeptical of a Satellite Direct scam.

So, I spent the next few days researching.  First of all I wanted to make sure it was legal which I later found out it was, then I wanted to see if the product is all that it is advertised to be.  DId it support all the channels it advertised and was it as easy and downloading software and playing tv on your pc?

I was happy to learn that Satellite Direct is in fact legal and legitimate, thanks to something called the Free to Air protocol, which allows for mass viewing of local and national TV stations from all over the world.

I also read a bunch of different user reviews who praised the digital HD quality of the stations they watched.  On top of that, I saw a high profile technology magazine that gave Satellite Direct high marks.  Once I saw that a reputable publication was talking this software up, I decided that it was definitely worth taking my chances on.  As a Mac user, I was pretty happy to see that it’d work on both PCs and Macs.

I figured it was worth a try and I could always return it if it was not all it was advertised.   For a one time fee of $49 it was far less than one month’s worth of cable. Since the product works well, I will never have to pay for another cable bill again as long as I can think of.  What a feeling.

Anyway, within about 5 minutes from making my payment I was watching tv on my pc.  All I had to do was download the software and install it.  It was as easy as turning on my tv.  The best part about it was that the product does work as advertise.  The picture was crisp, the sound was great, it didn’t freeze up or get choppy, and there are a ton of TV stations.  Plus, I got to see the Falcons win their football game that day :)

At the moment, there are 3,500 TV stations from all over the world.  No matter what country’s TV stations you’re looking to watch, there’s a good chance they have them.  From movie channels to sports stations to all kinds of movie stations, there’s just about everything you could want.  It’s all in DVD quality too, since it’s digital.

To be honest, I’m surprised that more people don’t know about this.  It seems like it’ll only be a matter of time before everyone has software like Satellite Direct instead of a traditional cable plan.

Here are a few of my favorite things about Satellite Direct.

  • After I paid $49.95 for the software, I never had to pay a dime again.  No hidden costs, no subscription fees.
  • I get more channels than I do on my cable TV plan.
  • I canceled my home cable plan.  I now hook up Satellite Direct to my 42-inch plasma, and I’m able to watch all of my TV on my actual TV now.  The quality is just as good as it’d be on a regular HDTV.  I wouldn’t suggest canceling your cable plan until you’ve had at least a few weeks to play around with Satellite Direct, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you ended up canceling yours too.

My final verdict:  there’s no Satellite Direct scam, this product is the real deal.  Lots of channels, high quality picture and sound, and it’s legal.  I hope you enjoy yours as much as I’ve enjoyed mine.
