Don't purchase online TV packages promising free sky tv on your pc, Its a scam.

Internet TV is here with a bang. Television used to be shown via cable, satellite, or terrestrial systems. Today, with the increase in Internet connection speeds, advancements in technology, the increase of people online, and the decrease in connection costs, it has become increasingly common to find traditional television content, accessible freely and legally over the Internet. In addition to this, new Internet-only television content (that is not also distributed via cable, satellite, or terrestrial systems) has appeared.

Internet television comes in four basic forms:

  • TV channels and TV shows which exist only on the Internet.
  • Traditional stations that simulcast live on the net.
  • Traditional stations making select content available on demand at their website (this is especially popular with news channels).
  • Traditional TV stations making extra content exclusively for their website.

Parallel to this trend are attempts to more easily transmit existing pay-tv channels over the net, to a regular tv set, while retaining control over how the media is used. This is in order to protect the subscription and pay-per-view business models.

Many people and companies are selling free sky tv on your pc internet streams, but beware, these sites generally are selling TV streams that are freely available if you care to just look and don't actually have any real sky premium channels. To add insult many of these packages consist of a list of outdated links that do not even work. They quite often give the promise of free sky tv on your pc plus other cable and satellite Movie channels, sports channels and any other channels are available for a one time fee of a few dollars. But lets get real, No Cable or satellite TV stations are available for free on the internet. These companies are much too large and powerful to allow it to happen.

What you are buying is a list of free to view internet streams, remember this before you hit the buy now button.

There are however some gems out there. We have studied and reviewed several packages that deliver what they promise. Read the reviews here
