I got an offer in my junkmail for lifetime satelite t.v., uncensored, from all over the world and they would not give a price, so I wrote back and told them I waned a price before I filled out a download reply. They said it was $40($$39 bullshit)for a lifetime or $3($2.90 something bullshit)a month. It has an overseas customer support but unlike the generic viagra adds they actually spelled the entire add correctly and put the words in the right place in the sentence, so I think it is legit. Is this the newest thing that is being offered? Has anyone else paid the $40 lifetime fee? I don't watch t.v. or even have it hooked up so it would be a great deal for me if it was real. Thanks for any help on this question(p.s. rain/snow here as always).

so satellites beam down signals from space. the signals are being beamed to your backyard whether or not you have satellite tv at your place or not.
so there are ways (from what i've heard, but never tried, though you could prob find a website about it) to install a dish in the back of your house, and put it into your computer to get decoded into regular tv signal.
when i looked into it a bit back in the day, it cost about $200 for all the shit you needed. so my guess is that this is what they are offering you. (note: this setup is illegal)
in all actuality though, i think they are just trying to steal $40 from you.

I have a friend who worked hooking up satellite systems for extra cash, and there are ways to get around the encryption. The thing is, the satellite companies change the encryption quite often at it requires constant updating (once the hackers have gotten around the new key). If you have the hardware and are basically tech savvy it is not hard to do at all.
Don't know how they would offer a lifetime thing though, the keys change and every so often the hardware itself changes...

That makes sense, all of the stuff I said about encryption and whatnot was specifically for the high end stuff (movies, sports, adult, etc)
