SatelliteDirect Unbiased Review: Pro's and Con's

SatelliteDirect is the trademark name of a software that enables you to view live TV on your computer.

At times, I miss my French culture living in Australia. So when I saw the SatelliteDirect advertisement, I felt a mixture of excitement, disbelief and scepticism.

I was excited at the prospect of viewing TV programs, films and music videos from so many French-speaking countries from all over the world.

I was also sceptical. Could I really view 3,500 channels? Could it really replace Foxtel at that price?

Usually when it looks too good to be true, it's usually is!

But curiosity took over...I paid my $49.95. For the price of an imported DVD, I couldn't resist this lifetime Satellite Live TV offer.

After testing SatelliteDirect on my PC, here's what I think...
 

PRO's

• Low-cost : One single payment of $49.95 with no monthly fees, no updates charges or hidden costs.
• Easy instant download: No waiting time and no technician skills required to install.
• User-friendly layout: Easy no-brainer design.
• Portable: No extra hardware required e.g. satellite dish or cable. You can view SatelliteDirect channels from anywhere so long you have a computer with internet connection e.g. sitting in the garden, airport or coffee shop.

SatelliteDirect boasts 3,500 channels but the reality is not all channels are worth viewing for these reasons:

• Slow streaming of some channels.
• Local information of limited interest.
• Foreign language - how many languages do you understand?

My Conclusion

Don't expect SatelliteDirect to replace Foxtel like the advert claims, it doesn't. Consider it a complementary service not an alternative.

You'll definitely have your money's worth if you want to:

• Discover new music, TV programs and films. Not all channels have slow streaming. Here are Strategies to stop slow streaming videos.
• Familiarise yourself with the culture and events of a country you're about to visit.
• Learn a new language...get the local intonation.
• Tap into an endless source of writing and speech material: include anecdotes, case studies and facts to liven up an article or speech and give it a global village twist.

Best part...it only takes five minutes to become an arm-chaired traveller and instantly connect to the rest of the world.
