Free Satellite TV Just a Hoax?

Free satellite tv is not really free – never is it really free. According to one source, it is among the biggest myths and legends on the internet. When they say “free satellite tv”, they don't mean free satellite tv, they should actually be advertising free satellite television setup.

So what do you get with “free” satelite tv/setup? The technician comes to your house, install free satellite television equipment, such as a tv dish, and the wiring that is needed to carry satellite televison throughout the house. Then you have to pay a minimum of $20 a month for basic service and even more when you order higher levels of service.

Be Wary of Free Satelite Offers

One thing that is sometimes free with free satellite tv is the first month or two of viewing. This is done to lure you in and when you sign up it prevents you from using another company’s satellite televison services. Sometimes they even market their so called free satellite tv is only available for a limited period of time, so it appears from their ad that you will need to act immediately, or miss out on the deal of a life time. Next time you see an ad like this on the internet, book mark it and forget about it for a month or so. Then come back to it and check on it. Chances are the ad for free satellite tv or any other special products will still be available.

We’ve all seen stores like that where plastered all over the storefront are signs that say “closeout sale” or “up to 75% off” as if the sale is actually happening right now indicating that you should buy now before they are all gone. But then, if you actually go inside the store, or even look more closely at the outside, you discover that the signs of this supposedly short term and urgent sale are actually permanently painted on the front of the store, and there is no short term sale.

So, if you are looking for satelite television, you’ve made a great choice. You will benefit from all those channels, programs, and features available, just don't be disappointed in all the advertising for free satellite tv. As they always say, there is no such thing as a free meal.
