Satellite Direct

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog! I’m Josh and around October 2010 I decided to start using Satellite Direct TV, as an alternative for my cable TV and its crazy high subscription fees. After joining Satellite Direct, I instantly became I huge fan and decided to set up this blog and write a review that comes straight from the heart. I hope this will help you to make an easy decision, whether their service would also be something for you. If you have any comments or additional questions, do not hesitate to drop me a message.

**What is Satellite Direct?**

A little background to kick off this review. Satellite Direct is a TV to PC software that gives its members access to over 3500 High-Definition television channels that can be viewed on a computer with an internet connection or on one’s television screen by connecting it with the computer. The good part here is that you get to watch television channels from the over the world, without being restricted to your local channels and media content. For example, I was on a long vacation in Brazil some months ago and simply kept watching my favorite US TV channels on my laptop! The combinations are endless with Satellite Direct. All you need is your computer and an internet connection. The world truly feels like a globalized place with Satellite Direct on your PC.

Does it Work for Everyone?

I only paid a one-time nominal amount of $49.95 to get a lifetime membership, in order to access over 3500 High-Definition TV channels from various countries around the world. Their one-time registration fee is normally $149.95 but when I joined it was – an currently also is – being offered at $49.95 at a discount of 70%. There is no monthly or annual charge once you are a member. The company’s website even asks viewers to cancel their cable television subscription after becoming a member because one can save a lot of money this way. As we know already, Cable television or Satellite TV service charges, form one of the essential parts of a home’s budget on a monthly basis. Getting rid of that charge forever and enjoying your favorite channels apart from getting access to thousands of others is a great deal for sure!

However, don’t jump on the cancellation wagon just yet. Go in for Satellite Direct, check how it actually delivers and whether you are satisfied with the picture quality and the number of channels you receive. Confirm that you are still getting to watch your favorite shows without any issues and when you are fully satisfied with all its offerings, go ahead and then cancel your cable or satellite TV subscription. As the channels that Satellite Direct gives you access to, are of course not owned by the company that owns Satellite Direct, ETV Corp, the picture quality or content offered by those channels is completely out of their hands. The speed of your internet connection may affect your viewing experience as well. Besides this, certain channels may become unavailable at any time as per their company’s wish. So, Satellite Direct cannot guarantee to provide services that are out of its area of control. Keeping all the above limitations in mind, it’s a better strategy to try Satellite Direct out firsthand before canceling your cable or satellite TV service. At $49.95, Satellite Direct is still a steal even after taking the limitations into account and definitely something worth possessing.

So much More then Just watching TV

Watching what the people of another country are viewing on television, really got me closer to understanding what the people and their country are really like. There’s no room for boredom ever with Satellite Direct. I often view TV channels from other countries and feel like I’ve just returned from a holiday after you switch off your PC or TV. Great experience! You can do that everyday and stay entertained for all the years to come. Whether you’re a sports freak or a music buff or both, getting to watch sports channels or music channels from several different parts of the world can give you a whole new perspective altogether. The amount of exposure and general knowledge one can get through an investment in Satellite Direct is worth a mention. Imagine listening to Indian music or Australian hits or finding out what’s on top of the charts in Croatia…Your area of interest will get a whole new dimension with Satellite Direct. Children, especially can become a whole lot smarter by getting so much exposure to different parts of the world – all from the comfort of their homes. You won’t need to spend on super-expensive tours to give your children exposure to the world – they will have the technology to do it using a computer. Imagine the number of languages one can get to hear by tuning into the channels of the different countries the world over. A very good reason to go in for this product indeed.

How to Join Satellite Direct

The process of getting Satellite Direct is extremely easy too as there is no physical installation needed. You simply need to follow three steps: Register through their site, download the software and enjoy live television channels on your PC. If you love your big TV screen (which I definitely do!), connect your PC and watch more channels than ever before, directly on your TV. The best part is you don’t ever need to pay another penny to maintain this service – as mentioned the charge is only one-time. Satellite Direct was only available for Windows operating systems earlier but is now available on Mac operating systems as well.

There is no cap on usage with Satellite Direct. It gave me unlimited access after their one-minute registration and download procedure. You pay when you register online, using secure payment gateways of Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Citibank, JCB or Paypal as per your preference.

I’ve read that Satellite Direct received the “Best of the Web 5 Star Award” for the year 2009 and has also pocketed the “Quality Assurance Seal” from Software Reviews, also in the year 2009. This means that it comes with the assurance of not having any spyware, adware or viruses which are also explained on their website.

To Summarize

In my opinion, this technology and software completely revolutionizes media and entertainment and really changes the face of television as we know it. It is yet to gain widespread popularity and acceptance though, which will happen as more and more people try it out, experience the difference and spread the word – like I’m doing. Regular localized television will soon be a thing of the past. Who wouldn’t want to get connected to the rest of the world and see what their watching? The face of the entertainment sector is set to change forever. The new technology is pitched as “The future of TV” by the company that owns the service, ETV corp; a phrase that aptly describes Satellite Direct indeed.

A Genuine Satellite Direct Review

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Josh and in October 2010 I subscribed to Satellite Direct, as an alternative for my expensive cable TV. Directly after joining Satellite Direct, I became I lover of their service and technology instantly and decided to set up this blog and write this review. I hope this will help you to make an easy decision, whether their service would also be something for you.

An introduction to Satellite Direct

Satellite Direct is a TV to PC software, owned by ETV Corp, which gets downloaded on to your computer system and connects you with more than 3500 TV channels from the world over. This way you get to watch a TV channel from any country in the world on your computer no matter which part of the world you’re in. You only need an internet connection for this to work. You don’t only get to enjoy Satellite Direct on a PC though; you can also sync your TV to your PC and watch any of the channels on your television screen like normal television. This way you don’t need to keep paying the cable guy or any satellite TV company that charge you every month. After the initial payment is made for registering, it will be completely free for life.

The initial amount is quite affordable too. The regular price is $149.95 but the company is offering a discount of almost 70% as of now making the initial (and only) payment only $49.95. You could check this at their website. If the discount is still on at the time you are reading this article, you could be lucky. At $49.95, getting more than 3500 High definition TV channels from the world over would surely be a lucky bargain.

Anybody can use Satellite Direct

Satellite Direct is also quite easy to install as there is no hardware that comes with it. One only needs to log on to the Satellite Direct website, register with them (this step includes the initial and one-time payment as well), download the Satellite Direct software on to one’s computer and enjoy television viewing like never before. It’s as easy as 1-2-3 and only takes a minute to complete! You could pay using any of the popular modes of payment online – Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Discover, American Express or Citibank.

Some words on the variety of channels available now: You get 30 channels from Albania, 20 channels from Algeria, 331 channels from Australia, 182 channels from Brazil, 570 channels from Canada, 233 channels from China, 395 channels from Germany, 349 channels from France, 307 channels from India, 702 channels from USA…and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Who would feel like sticking with regular cable or satellite TV services if one has such an option available? These channels would be a mix of news channels, sports channels, music channels, movie channels etc. just like your current mix of channels. The number of channels available with Satellite Direct would be far more than any cable or satellite TV service provider.

The Benefits Compared to Cable TV and ‘off-line’ Satellite TV

Moving to the other important aspect involved in television viewing, the all-important picture quality, Satellite Direct offers its viewers High Definition picture quality. But this may get impacted by the quality of your PC monitor screen, your internet connection and the picture quality offered by the channel itself. Satellite Direct cannot control these factors. As TV channels are owned by other companies the world over, their availability is also subject to change as per their owner’s wish. Some premium channels like HBO, Cinemax etc. are not a part of the Satellite Direct offering so the exact channels you get may not include your favorite channels. Taking all the above limitations into account, it would still be a good investment to purchase Satellite Direct because the benefits one gets outweigh the limitations by a large margin. The main benefits being the nominal one-time payment, the variety of TV channels available and the flexibility of accessing those television channels from any part of the world at any time of day or night.

Making Life more Interesting

In practical life, the option to watch television on one’s PC is a huge benefit as one doesn’t need to miss his or her favorite show this way. Let’s say you’re waiting your turn at the dentist’s clinic; normally one would just get bored or chat on one’s mobile phone for entertainment. With Satellite Direct, you can watch a new or a favorite TV channel as you wait using your Laptop or Notebook PC. At the currently discounted price $49.95 – that is great value for money considering that most people pay approximately $100 each month for cable or satellite TV services.

Another example of Satellite Direct’s practical benefits in daily life: Let’s say you’re learning French – tune into any of the 349 French channels you will have access to once you’re a member and listen to how the French speak their language, what phrases they use and the accent they use while speaking. You would get much closer to the native style of speaking. .If you’re learning Japanese check out any of the 389 channels from Japan on offer. Even if you’re not learning any language from a formal language institute as such but are interested in doing so as a hobby; you could get a book to learn the language and listen to the language using the channels of that country. There’s a benefit for businesses too – Cultural familiarization is quite important in today’s globalised world and being culturally sensitized can make or break the all-important business deal for your business. Just tune into the television channels of the country of your business interest and be an expert in their mannerisms soon. These are just two examples of the multiple uses of getting access to loads of TV channels from most countries of the world. It’s like knowledge and books – how one utilizes the resource is up to one’s creativity and interest.

My Conclusion

All in all, Satellite Direct is a value deal. At a nominal one-time payment, it brings a world of entertainment to you and your loved ones. There won’t be another dull moment after Satellite Direct because you’ll never run out of new channels to explore and enjoy. It could be an American channel on Monday, a Mexican one on Tuesday, an Indian one on Wednesday, an Australian one on Thursday and a Brazilian one on Friday. Your evening entertainment on weekdays will never be the same again after Satellite Direct.

Make sure that when you visit the Satellite Direct site for more information, that you go to the “official site” through the links I have provided – through my research I noticed some nasty “look a likes”.
