Don't fall for Free Satellite TV on PC Scam ?

Few months ago while doing regular internet surfing i came across some tempting flashy advertisement about software that's supposed to give you free satellite TV on your PC. The program costs $30, but they claim it lets you watch hundreds of live worldwide channels free of charge. Sounds too good to be true... is this a scam?"

Everything I've read about this type of thing tells me it's a scam, or at least a waste of money.
 
I am not TV buff but being software / electronics explorer i though of giving a shot but i have no mood to spend single penny on it unless i witness something good. There is NO free trail available for this software, that is something fishy isn't it ? Some how i got hold of this software ( Don't ask me how you know the answer ) and evaluated the same.

 The software you get for your thirty bucks is nothing more than a menu of free online television broadcasts. Most of the stations listed are foreign, and the list contains many entries that are obsolete or do not work. 

If you're considering buying a software package named "PC Satellite TV", "Satellite TV Elite", "Satellite TV on PC", "Satellite TV for PC 2008 Elite Edition", "TV on PC Elite", "Digital TV 4 PC" or anything similar... they are ALL THE SAME type of scamware. You will pay $30 and in return you'll get a crappy software program that does NOT deliver what it promises. You WILL NOT get any premium or pay-per-view channels for free. The only thing these packages offer is links to online video sites that you could find for free with a quick search on Google or Yahoo.

Sorry, but there's no way to turn your PC into a satellite dish and get free HBO or MTV. But there is some good news... there are free online and authenticated website available through which you can watch TV shows , reordered most of the times but some Live channels too.


If you are looking for some recorded TV shows or even live TV. Consider following websites



Bottom line is Don't FALL FOR IT !!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your money on this scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the Current Directory in Windows CE & Windows Mobile ?

Lately i encountered  a situation where i had to find the current directory from where my application is running and all my config files reside. Question is "How do I find the current directory?" on Windows CE/Mobile devices. Desktop / PC it is just piece of cake but Windows CE / Mobile devices don't have a concept of a current directory.  Which means all pats are absolute and there is no concept called relative path. Due to lack of relative paths most of the files are loaded to the "Windows" directory and that is how Windows directory is crowded. Alternatively you can hard code directory path and insist user to load files always there. But i hate to hard code values or copy files to Windows directory.  So this has triggered to find a solution to identify my current directory. Since there is no concept of a current directory on a Windows CE / Windows Mobile device how would one locate a resource for which only a relative path is known?  That is what following c...
