Webtech Advise

I had been receiving some emails in my junk folder about watching TV online. I thought it would be great to view TV on my laptop. I wasn't sure how it would work and until I received this one email promising it worked without any special equipment did I think about trying it out. I bought software online to watch TV. Before I go any further let me tell you it was a rip off. The web designs for this email I received looked very legit. My Computer seemed to have a fast enough speed to watch the advertisement on the URL link I opened up from the email. After I bought this software and installed it; I can't get any of the 3000 channels to open. The funny thing is; I can download the commercials just fine! I can't imagine why the commercials can play but the TV channels can't. Every network is listed in the TV Guide link. There shouldn't be any reason why my computer isn't able to download any of the network channels and view them.

I received an email today about this very thing; watch out for scams selling WatchTV from Your Computer software. Great now I get the heads up! Oh well, live and learn I guess. The download for this software is updated every so often, but there is no one to contact to ask why it doesn't work. The Network channels are numerous, but none of them work to this day.

I recently saw on TV another website that offers this same kind of viewing and it's supposedly free. I think most of us have seen it. I am going to try and view TV through that website and see if it works. What can it hurt? I've already bought software that doesn't work, why not try another for free?

Isn't it funny how someone can think up something like this make tons of money and be out nothing more than a pretty website with some streaming video? I think it is a shame we can't trust that something is what it says it is online.
