[LinP3] Re: tv on pc


IMHO: I believe it is a scam; and based on the information from their
site, feel it would be impossible.

FYI: I did find one BLOG? and every response to the question was that
it Had to be a Scam. - One 'Poster' even mentioned that any site that
recommended it (I searched and there are some) seemed to be a phony
site posted by whomever is trying to sell it. He pointed out that the
URL names were sometimes very obviously from the URL you listed for
their home page. He also commented that if you looked at Any site
recommending it; you would see that the sites were very similar; using
the same colors, fonts, and similar layouts.

Bottom Line: I didn't spend a lot of time on the Internet, but I
looked at several sites (about it) and none I read (that recommended
it) did not differ from what the poster I mention above.

Hint! If a site is similar to one you are looking at; and the only
difference is that their type site (such as '.biz' instead of '.com')
is different then it's almost guaranteed to be a false site.

You always have to be careful when you look at a site (that appears to
use a name of a Known entity - such as a well known magazine; - always
ensure the URL ends in the same 'extension'? as the actual site.

IF you get a response that someone actually has purchased the
software; and it works as advertised; I would pay them to explain to
me how it could possibly work. - Especially since 99% of us here don't
have Internet connections fast enough to receive what they promise.

Surely you have hear the old saying; If it seems too good to be true
then is probably isn't what is claimed. :-))
