Not sure, but it sure does seem like one. When I tried to exit the website, it told me 'Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Click Cancel and get a 50% discount!' Definitely a scam.

This product really does not work... yes there are a ton of tv stations... nothing local [Dallas Texas] mind you. And I am not impressed with it at all... I have played with this several times... I cannot get it to function or play stations that i search on. Seems it only prefers some sort of built in channels. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY... go spend it instead for a tv tuner to add on to your computer... This sucks

It is a scam. Almost none of the stations work. This is a total waste of money and time.

Sorry, but after reading the first answer, I was compelled to give my personal input. I'm an actual user and tester of Stream Direct TV and other software packages like it. Out of the top 10 (pay-to-download) internet TV Software service packages, StreamDirect is #1 in my book. But that doesn't mean the application will work for each and every computer, even though it may be compatible - but very rarely does that happen. And, it doesn't mean there aren't some downsides which all these products have.

This service offers a TV player pre-loaded with tons of worldwide live/on-demand/HD channels and there's a member's area where you get more perks, and access to more free content that I like to classify as giving you a robust Internet TV experience. The software works very well on my Windows 7, Toshiba Satellite laptop, and I'm still enjoy using the product/service.

I have not experienced any problems whatsoever and wonder sometimes why some people degrade all pay-to-download Internet TV software products and called them all scams. Many have never tried the software they are degrading.

However, I do understand that there are many poor products out there claiming to deliver certain things when they don't.

The StreamDirect service now offers a Mac version which is a nice addition to it's Windows version. They also offer a 3 day trial for a few dollars that allows you to test the software on your computer with full access to all the features and free content.

Moreover, they have simplified souring the web to find free TV channels the manual way by streamlining and organizing the delivery of 1000s of worldwide channels, videos, radio stations and music to any Windows or Mac computer instantly.

In turn, it makes setting up a web TV system a lot quicker and easier with more benefits than doing everything manually yourself. And, allows you to get access and watch everything from one location, rather than go from website to website to watch something because no one site carries all the free content that interest you.

The StreamDirect service gave many channels which could never be accessed

and a lot of sites which seem on first look to be genuine but they try to rope you in with scams. I fell for such a scam. I was offered a 5 day free trial for Flix 247. I took it, tried the offered movies and found that they were all old and inferior movies. I forgot about the whole thing and moved on. Surprise, surprise- there was a disclaimer which was not in evidence that after 5 days I was put on a 'Premium Subscription' at the rate of $50 a month. I was not aware that they had been siphoning off the money since I had to give them my credit card number thinking that it was only to access the free trial. I had not checked my credit card statement too closely and my wife who pays the bills at the bank did not question the amount. I only caught the scam after closely looking at my credit card statement and cancelling immediately. There is no refund, although I never used the lousy service. The only non-refundable subscription is 'The Free Trial subscription'. Shame on me for falling for such a scam!!
