Having a hard time getting a Paid TV account?

If you are having a hard time getting a paid TV account because of past indiscretions on you credit history, or maybe you live at a place that can not get satellite signal, or what ever the reason, there is a way to still get to watch your favorite channels.

Now I'm not referring to one of those hacked boxes or anything illegal. That would just be immoral to even mention it. No, what I'm referring to is something completely different. With this technology, you can even watch your favorite channels while your out of the house. You can watch at your office desk, on your couch, even while in the bathroom. And the really cool thing is that it will only cost you $20 or $40 with DVR function, for over 250 channels for an entire year and you will even get a second connection so you can watch one show while others in your house can watch another.

Not only will you get over 250 TV channels, you will also get live radio channels, weather in your area, movie channels, City view web cams from around the world, Video Chat, Social Networking and so much more. There are even Money making opportunities with this system. That's the beauty of IPTV-BROADCASTING By Matrix Inc. Watch on your TV, PC, Laptop, and coming soon, even your other web enabled mobile devices.

So how do I get this program you ask? Well, first you need a High Speed Internet connection of at least 1.5 mbps or higher (recommended to view any Hi-Def Channels, 256 kbps for most non hd channels), and a PC or Laptop with at least a 700 mhz processor or better and recommended minimum of 512 mb of ram and Windows XP or newer. At this time if you want to watch on your TV you'll have to have a TV output card installed in your PC or Laptop. A new stand alone TV set-top box is in the works and is slated for release summer of 2010. A new version for the MAC and other web enabled mobile devices is also in the works.

If you meet the requirements and are ready to get started, simply head over to http://www.iptv-broadcasting.com and sign up to get started watching your favorite channels and making money on top it.

How to get around Satellite Service Requireing a Credit Card for New Customers

Have you been denied satellite service because of no credit card? Have you turned down Satellite Service because you do not want to give them your credit card info? If you answered yes to either question, then I will show you how to get around that issue.

First of all, a little background info on the reasons that the satellite companies require a credit card.

First they use it as a secondary form of ID. A CC number along with your SS number will give them a positive ID match. After all they are potentialy putting up to $1500 worth of equipment in your home, plus paying an installer a good chunk of change to install this equipment. They want to make sure that you are who you say you are.

Second, they use the pos id match to do a soft pull of your credit report to make sure your credit worthy. Don't worry about the credit pull damaging your credit score, the soft pull does not mark your credit score. What they look at is your past dealings with other TV service providers as well as telephone/cell phone and internet providers to see if you pay your bills on the NON-Necessity items.

Third, they want some sort of guarantee that your bill will get paid. After all you are signing a contract for service. If you fail to fulfill your contract they will simply attempt to pay off your contract with your credit card.

Now to get around giving them your cc info, or if you do not have one, then all you have to do is get a prepaid credit card. But not just any pre-paid cc, it has to be a bank issued pre-paid cc, and not a Debit Card either. Simply go to your bank that you have an account with, and ask them for one. It may cost a couple dollars to purchase one, most banks dont charge if you have an account with them, then put fifty dollars on the card to cover any sign-up fees, or shipping and handling fees for promotional gift items that may be available through the satellite retailer you choose to do business with. A Walmart or Walgreen purchased pre-paid cc will not work because they cannot verify name or address info with the cc. Only the bank issued cards attach your name and address info with the cards. Dont forget to activate the card before attempting to give out the cc number. To play it safe you should make sure its been active for at least a couple of days before calling to place your order.

After the order has been placed, your service has been installed, and any fees have been taken from the card, you can then use what ever money is left on the card to get gas or what ever.sate

You can save your lost data without a backup


Got a HDD (Hard-Disc-Drive)(AKA: Harddrive) with all of your important data that just crashed? Have you given up on your lost information? Did you forget to backup? Well don't give up just yet! I have a tip that may just get you data back.

This may not work in all cases, but in many it does. If your drive just died and you have not continuously tried to get it to boot over and over, even if its making the clicking noises, or if its making a lot of noises, but still runs, then there is hope.

The answer is simple. But first you will have to get a new
HDD. After all, your current drive is either dead or really close to it, and you need somewhere put the data that you are about to retrieve from the old drive.

Remove the old drive from the computer/laptop. Install the new drive and get your OS (Windows/MAC/Linux...) installed and running. Then put old drive into a freezer bag and put it into the freezer for at least 12 hours. This is not a joke, it really works. Just remember that you must work quickly and get the files while the drive is still frozen, so make sure that you have the computer ready to transfer files. You may only get one chance at this. It does not always work a second time.

When you are ready, pull the drive out of the freezer and freezer bag and either install it as a slave drive in your tower or install it into a external
USB HDD encloser while still frozen. boot up the computer/laptop and make sure that the OS can see the HDD and has assigned it a drive letter. If not, and you are sure everything is connected correctly and settings are correct, then you may be out of luck. If your computer does see it, then your good to get some files, maybe not all, depends on the drives condition. As quickly as possible, browse the drive and copy the needed files to your new drive. I would suggest getting the most important files first then on to the least important ones because your are running on borrowed time and who knows how long the drive will continue to run.

I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me out through the years.
