Watching Satellite TV For Free - Truth Exposed!

31 January 2007

By: Davion Wong

echodishWatching satellite TV for free is a great idea welcomed by all. You may have come across commercial advertisements, whether online or offline through different media channels, offering free satellite TV viewing. But the question is whether free satellite TV really does exist or is just a gimmicky bait to lure viewers. We will discover the truth behind the “Watch Satellite TV For Free” phenomenon and where we can truly get to watch satellite TV without messy installation and limitations.

The next time you see an advert that suggests you can watch satellite TV for free, be sure to look out for the brand names DirecTV or Dish Network. Chances are the whole concept of free satellite TV here refers to the free equipment and installation these satellite TV service providers would provide for you. Watching satellite TV for free is literally true if you are contented to stare at your blank TV screen. Well, if you intend to put something on your screen, ie watch some LIVE channels, be prepared to fork out $30 - $ 70 dollars every single month for your satellite TV subscription. There goes our first “free” option.

Now, what about those dubious satellite TV providers that sell you Digital Television (DTV) and Dishnet cards, and devices like smart cards, emulators, bootloaders or unloopers, reprogrammers, smart card readers/writers and blockers to intercept DirecTV satellite TV signals? Well, you may be able to buy such devices from online auctions for a one-off payment and finally not have to worry about monthly subscriptions.

But just when you are watching satellite TV for free and enjoying your favorite TV show, your satellite TV crashes on you. This scenario is not uncommon and could take place in your home when you least expected it. The digital satellite systems (DSS) developers are going on a witch-hunt for satellite TV pirates, and are constantly formulating new electronic counter measures (ECM) to lock devices and cards that steals satellite TV signals, allowing one to watch satellite TV for free. The smart programmers who first came up with the devices would then reprogram their cards with a new code, defeating the DSS developers at their own game. Or did they actually win? Not exactly because this is a cat and mouse game, where each group of programmers is in a never-ending race to upgrade their ware and out beat each other.

While the war to watch satellite TV for free is going on, consumers suffer each time when their cards and devices get busted and have no choice but to get the latest updated replacements. This definitely is not the best long-term solution for our pockets. Watching satellite TV for “free” is not free after all.

28 January 2007

For much of the past decade, there has been something of a chicken-and-egg scenario with high-definition television, or HDTV: Consumers weren’t buying the very expensive HD television sets because there was so little HD programming.
