I answered this same question the other day

1) if it looks too good to be true it is

2) the web site was based in California

3) Sky would'nt sanction this for a start

5)Site had at least 2 different prices for the service ? look here

http://www.skyonyourpc.com/faq.php

says £7.95

6) Only Accepts Paypal, if it were a big legit company then they would accept Direct payment

Hi, i bought a sat- tv on your pc thingy form ebay for 99p. it was sent by e-mail as PDF attachment. it is similar what you are looking at, they will probably send you this kind of thing anyway. it is rubbish, only a few of the channels work, like mtv, and a few other obscure ones. i will e-mail it to you if you wish (hope thats allowed on here)

Hi

Apparently this is a 'con' site. They are just using freely available streams and bringing them all together in one portal and charging you for the pleasure.

It is possible to watch football via web streaming though the quality is patchy and very much depends on connection speeds.

Coolstreaming which can be downloaded for free (search on Google for current site) has several reasonable quality streams such as ESPN and Test sports.

The following have links and details of live football over the net and are free:

http:\\https://www.tvstreams.net/prod03.htm
http:\\https://www.freefootball.org/channels.php

Freelivefootball.co.uk is another site which is good but costs £3 or £4 a year.

Hope this is of help.

This is exactly what you can buy on ebay for 99p.
All it is is links to various websites that show movies and live football.
It is true that you can get live premiership football, but the quality isnt that good. Its a bit of a rip off as the channels are all accessible from your pc.
If anyone wants the list of websites I'll welcomely give them to you
