Initially testing was slow. The development of our founder's testing criteria was constructed over time as he vigorously went through product after product, quickly discovering that almost all of the products were lacking in certain key areas that would not only be important to just himself, but to any consumer.

A very important factor in the decision to purchase any product or service. Our founder new this early on, and that a scammer would not have a customer service or support system set up for a product they were trying to swindle you out of your money with. This became the cornerstone in the foundation of all his testing phases. Before Tony would even purchase a product he would first make contact using their own website's customer service or support links that they provided. In the case they had no links, or an alternative mean for a customer to contact the owner of the website, he just moved on and wrote it off for what it was - SCAM!

Initially he just tested the link with a simple email. Later he realized that if he asked for clarification of their warranties or money back guarantees, he would have it in black and white later to help him procure a refund. An email has an interesting piece of code placed in it that can also be used as tracking information. It's called the header and it includes the website's domain in the sender's email address. Armed with this and a warranty or guarantee in the body and it is as good as gold with the Better Business  Bureau, as well as the Foreign Trade Commission, Federal Bureau of Investigations and the scammers own ISP and Service that handled his sales for him (PayPal, eBay, ClickBank, etc.).

Out of the thousand's of channels that most of Pc Satellite TV products claimed, only a few worked and the ones that did you could barely make out the picture on the screen because of pixilation, distortion, or choppy feeds. And it got worse from there when you tried to enlarge the picture to full screen, if the software even allowed you to watch it in anything else other than a small 320x150 display!

Many of the products claimed quality content, but he quickly discovered that a majority of programming for these channels came from overseas, in languages that an average American like himself would not understand, thus, the claimed quality was non exist to a user such as himself. And very few carried the channels they actually claimed to, such as HBO, Cinemax, Disney, etc., and if they did, again the quality of the picture was poor or the feed just didn't work at all.

A video stream can contain between 24 to 30 frames per second. A TV quality frame (640x480x24bits/pixel) consumes around 921,000 bytes. This equates to 27MB per second of just video data alone. The compression ratio of lossless methods (e.g., Huffman, Arithmetic, LZW) is not high enough to distribute this kind of video over a network like the Internet. Will an average user be able to use this service? Does it take extremely high bandwidth or a some kind of special video codec to provide a good service and was this expressed to the user before purchase of the product?

Out of the first 40 Pc Satellite TV Programs he found that less than a handful actually worked "as advertised". Undaunted by the enormous challenge in time and money ahead of him, he persevered, delving into several other ways to watch Pc Satellite TV, from exploring even more Pc Satellite TV to Live Satellite TV Feeds, to even exploring some SlingMedia's SlingBox and Wireless PCTV's "Place Shifting" Technologies.
