for a one off payment of 19.99..It gives a 60 money back guarantee. It's not a subscription or a monthly fee thing. It looks too good to be true. It's from singapore. Does anyone have any knowledge of this or of anything similair?

its a scam..don't pay..they always give you a nice offer.. but they eventually stick you in the *** with higher rates than you would pay for regular cable or satellite. Or they tack on equipment and cancellation fees that can run over 1000 bucks if you no longer want the service.. Read every little piece of information you receive before committing to it. Also since it is over the Internet you could be agreeing to things that are not even stated in your initial contract.. Since there are no clear cut laws they can get away with anything.. just get cable man.

This rings true more on the internet than anywhere else. YES. Singapore... outsourcing. Just like how internet gambling is legal by american companies basing the websites from tiny countrys outside of the US. Never, ever give out your credit info without calling the better business beruea first

Of course, it's a scam. In fact, even if it wasn't, you would be the ONE FOOL that helps to make a SPAM profitable. Simply HIT THE REPORT SPAM button. Nobody should ever buy from an offer that comes unsolicited by email. That only encourages the problem.
You see, 10 SPAMs today, 100 SPAMS tomorrow, and 1,000 SPAMS per day next month. How would you manage 1000 SPAMs per day?
It only gets worse, if you BUY from SPAM. Use the REPORT SPAM button, otherwise the Internet Will DIE.

If it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
Anything and everything that arrives in an email offering you something that you did not order is a scam.
If you send $19.99 to whoever sent you this email you can kiss it goodbye.

lol, it's a scam, they will provide you with software that has built in web browser that uses windows media player, they just provide links to channels that broadcast on the internet for free, most of those channels you can find by searching google, there are many different legal scams like that :) If you don't believe it then buy it and see :)) I guarantee that you won't like it, lol

Maybe you should search the company and see if there's any articles or anything on it on google or something, to make sure it isn't a scam.

it is a huge scam, in basic terms delete the e-mail and overlook about.... Alot of persons fall sufferer to those, because they are unaware that it is a scam... i take advantage of to recieve them truly alot, and in basic terms delete them, the perfect one I were given, I responded decrease back and informed them that my dad, replaced right into a ok well-known and revered choose, my DF replaced right into a severe means criminal professional and my brother replaced right into a cop, and that i havent had any when you consider that, and that replaced into over a million year in the past now.
