It looks like they are collecting your email address so they can sell it to spammers.

If it is ligitamant....they are talking about MPEG-2 Satellite reception. But they are failing to tell you a lot.

If you want to receive all of those channels they stated:
You would need a large satellite dish (6 or 8 foot) for C-band and Ku-band.
You would need a controller to move the satellite dish.
You would need a special satellite modem.
You would need their special software.

If you just happen to have a large dish satellite system (with C band and Ku band capability) , you can buy a MPEG-2 receiver for $200 and hook it up to your Television Set.
And you would have all of those free channels they mentioned.

You can get more details here:

Thanks for the info...all they are asking for is $67 which is a odd marketing price also......

The hype is that only $67 gets you the software to watch a bazillion movies or so...yeah I realize if it's to good to be true...blah..blah..blah....but I am on an educational hunt also.....

I'll follow your link and get up to speed thanks a lot..appreciate it...C-man

While reading these posts I scrolled down to the bottom of this page and lo and behold the very website I am asking about are sponsors...!!

So does that mean they are legit..?
I will try to copy and paste the ads here:

So here they are they must have about 5 different domain names but all lead up to the same site for a mere $67 bucks....so guess my questions is are these folks legit and the services legal....if I can watch the Longhorn play while on line that would be sweet...!

The grey area towards the bottom of each page is from Google Syndication, and while they are targeted to the content of a post/thread based on keyword it does not mean that they are recommended or even ever tested by Cnet. To the contrary, I have seen a couple that have been black-listed for various reasons and have stacked up numerous complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Thus, I would not consider that a sign of legitimacy.

Personally, the website looks fishy and I can't find any reviews of them aside from their own marketing so I'd pass.

It is said, "If it is too good to be true, then it isn't. If this is a CNET sponsor, would not CNET want to know if the product lives up to its claim?

Have a look at this, an almost invisible like at the bottom of secretsatellite's page: www.free-satellite-pc.com/publisher.htm
The most interesting part is at the end. They are looking for people to advertise the software in forums, blogs etc. and benefit when eventually someone buys the software from their link.
That's what's really behind it.
SecretSatellite or Free Satellite PC or Undergroundsatellite or whatever is merely a collection of links to open webstreams of TV stations from all over the world. You may easily find it elsewhere. Also, the package includes TVAnts from Zhejiang University, officially available for free from their own homepage.

PS: As usual still, many streams are absolutely small and low-quality, or not even available anytime and anywhere.
