You will almost certainly find its nothing to do with sattelite or freeview or anything like that. Its a list of links to channels which stream the shows over the internet...They are all free anyway if you know where to look. you can watch QVC (if you really have to) which is streamed live over the internet and so on. I wouldnt bother if I was you. You are better buying a DVB card or something like that.

I dont know if they are genuine on ebay about the satellite thing...
But technically speaking, if you have cable tv through your computer and its satellite, then technically it isnt satellite causes its running through your computer anyways....
There is an alternate program I know of that does work, and you can get tons of channels, it just uses your internet speed to display so if you have dialup it would be crappy...
the program is called PC SHOW BUZZ, my friend has it and bought it for 30 bucks, it has lifetime free cable through your pc and it streams it...

give that a shot... The satellite ebay thing sounds like a scam.

It is not satellite it is freeview and the quality of signal depends on the aerial. The one provided may be inadequate, dependant on your location.
It's still worth a try though, at that price.

I bought my satellite internet equipment on Ebay and it works great. You just have to watch who you buy from - check their ratings and see what other buyers have said about them.

Indeed.
Just do your research first, don't buy from unknown users and ask questions to make sure they actually know/have the items. Something that isn't "do you actually have this" but something that may require them to have the merchandise.
