Satellite programming stream over the internet. Is this ok?

[Jeffdbs]

Received an email from my uncle asking me if it is possible to receive satellite programming via the internet for such a low price. Sneaky TV I have no knowledge of what this site is doing so I thought I would ask you guys and gals for some help here. This site selling price seems to good to be true. Thanks for the feedback.

It is far too good to be true. Unless they can provide evidence of carriage agreements with the listed channels/stations, they're probably just taking $37 donations and moving on to the next sucker.

sounds like FTA to me.

I guess what I am asking here is it ok to receive this programming for such a low price here in the United States through a computer?

Given that the monthly price is free, that should give you a clue.

I'm guessing that it is a directory to free live Internet feeds. If you look at some of the names of the channels, you'll note that they don't correspond to anything that we're familiar with.

MTV's Overdrive is a free service that offers a handful of hard rock videos to chose from. Adult Swim is a similar service that offers free cartoon clips. ShowTV is a Turkish TV service that offers some streaming videos.

I hope you get the idea.

Yes I do get the idea. "To good to be true". I will advise my Uncle to stick with his cable provider.

You can find most of the stuff this site wants you to pay $37 (donation) for free via google. It's a scam, most of thier channels they probably aquire from the sites that give the free access.
