'Cable companies hate this man!
"Chinese Geek Reveals How You Can Watch Over 3,000
World-Wide Channels (Including HDTV) On Your Computer
And TV... Without Paying Cable Or Satellite Bills!"
'You can easily hook up all your computers... desktops
and laptops...and...your television too! Plus... you can take
these channels with you anywhere in the world you travel!
John Patterson
Technology Writer
If you want access to thousands of channels on your
computer and TV... in just a few minutes from now...without
paying for cable or satellite service...this will be the
most exciting message you will ever read!
Here's why:
There's a man from China that cable companies absolutely
hate. Why do they hate him so much? That's because he
discovered a secret 'loophole' that lets anyone with an
internet connection get access to thousands of quality
channels from all over the world... without cable or satellite
service! And the first thing you should know is...
It's 100% Legal!
That's right. Despite that cable companies hate him
so much, they can't stop him because what he does is 100%
legal. The man's name is Mike Ling. He's from Beijing
in China, though he now lives in the U.S. His telephone
number is 323-446-7123 and, you can visit him at: 8721
Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. That's right
across the street from the Public Library and two blocks
south of the Hollywood Police Station.
You see, Mike and a group of technology experts spent
over 5 years developing a simple, easy-to-use computer
program that legally 'steals' thousands of television
channels from all over the world and sends them to your
computer through the internet! Thousands of people are
already using this program...many of whom are abandoning
their no longer needed cable and satellite services!
With this program you can now watch all of your favorite
shows and programs right from your computer! In fact,
you now have access to over 3,000 television channels
from the U.S. and around the world! And this means you
can watch just about anything you want! This includes:
Movies: Over 60 channels of action... comedy... romance...
and just about any genre you like! And foreign movies
as well!
Sports: Over 70 channels showing baseball, football, soccer,
basketball, tennis, and racing! Channels like ESPN News,
EuroSports TV, GameSports TV, WHL TV, Fox Network, and
Sport Star. There are channels for just about any sport
you can think of, even sporting events usually available
only on pay-per-view... like ultimate fighting, martial
arts, wrestling, and boxing!
Music: The hottest music videos from all over the world!
Some channels you should check out are Deejay TV, Festival
TV, Ministry Of Sound, Party TV, and Club TV! And on top
of that, you also have access to over 1,500 radio stations
from around the world!
Premium Channels: Over 120 channels, including Comedy
Central, MTV Overdrive, Euro TV, Discovery Channel, Broadway
Network, Game Network, MovieStat Network, Adult Swim,
National Geographic, Food Network, Rapture TV, Vintage
Cartoons, Adult Zone, Show TV...and even HDTV (high definition
television) channels! These are channels you may be paying
a lot of money for right now...but no longer have to!
Kids Channels: Countless channels for your kids that
show cartoons and movies all day long the whole family
can enjoy!
Educational: Some of the channels you should check out
are Research TV, The Academic Channel, Global Country,
Strawberry TV and The Baby Channel!
Religious: There's a lot of programming here from channels
like The Church Channel, Hope TV, Islam Channel, Kabbalah,
Word Of God, and Vatican TV!
Shopping: You can shop from all around the world...right
from your couch! Channels like Gems TV, Jewelry TV, Price-Drop
TV, QVC, and Speed Auction!
News, Weather And Politics: Hundreds of channels with
the latest news, weather and politics from all over the
country and the world... live and uncensored! There are
countless channels of ABC, NBC, CBS FOX and PBS affiliates
all over the country and the world. This means if you're
from Texas but are visiting California, you can still
tune in to your local favorite news station! And you'll
be more up to date than anyone you know... especially because...
You Can Watch Channels That You Can't Get From Your Cable
Or Satellite Provider...Even If...You Paid Them!
That's right. Many people don't know the extent of this
but, what you can watch on TV, cable, or satellite is
very regulated and controlled by our government as well
as foreign governments. There is a lot they don't want
you to see and, many things they don't want you to ever
know about. However, since this program picks up channels
through the internet and not through regular TV, cable
or satellite, you can now legally get access to these
secret channels that our government doesn't want us to
see!
For example, you can watch...
" Egypt State Channel that shows programming directly
from the Egyptian Government!
" Venezuela TV, which is controlled by Hugo Chavez!
" Cubavision from Cuba!
" HTV from Vietnam!
" Aljazeera TV from Iran which shows the Iraq war
live and uncensored!
" And many more channels that you otherwise can't
get in the United States!
(Many of these channels are from countries the U.S. is
not very friendly with. However, you will have access
to these channels and watching them will truly open your
eyes to what's REALLY going on in the world. Trust me...
you'll know more about the 'truth' than almost anyone
else you know!)
There are also many other channels you'll be able to
watch that aren't offered in the U.S...but really should
be! For example, as I'm writing this I am watching a killer
soccer match on Goal From Belgium... which shows the best
soccer matches in the world, 24 hours a day! If you are
a sports fan, you will really appreciate all the amazing
channels like this one!
You can also watch TV in English, Spanish, German, Arabic,
French, Italian, Russian, Dutch, and many other languages.
In fact...
You Can Get Channels From 78 Countries Around The World!
And... you can watch these channels from your computer
in any of these countries too!
If you have friends and relatives that speak a foreign
language, they would have a blast with this! Especially
anyone that was born in a foreign country...they could now
once again watch their favorite shows from their home
town that they grew up with...shows they love and miss so
much!
And if you're like me, you'll have a great time discovering
interesting and bizarre shows you never new existed!
Just imagine... with so many interesting channels...you
will be able to entertain yourself, your friends and your
family...forever!
And guess what else? You'll never again have to miss
your favorite show or sports event because.... you can record
anything you want! You can even set a time and day you
want a certain program recorded and it will record automatically...kind
of like Tivo does it!
So You Could Watch Almost Anything You Want, Anytime!
Listen: This program is like nothing else out there.
You can watch over 3,000 channels and listen to over 1,500
radio stations from 78 countries all over the world!
And you don't need a sky card, smart card, satellite
dish, digital box, receiver, or any cable or satellite
service!
All you need is an internet connection and a computer.
You can watch all these channels from home or anywhere
in the world, as long as you have an internet connection
and computer. It doesn't matter if you are in China, Africa,
Australia or anywhere whatsoever. You can travel anywhere
in the world and have your 3,000 channels with you!
You don't even need a high-speed internet connection.
Dial-up works just fine. This works on any computer, desktop
or laptop. You can even hook up your computer to your
TV (it's really easy, all you need is one cord) and...
You Can Watch All 3,000+ Channels On Your TV!
Yes, you can easily hook up ALL your computers...desktops
and laptops... and your TV too!
And remember, you don't need any cable or satellite
service!
Here is a shocking and true story: A long time ago,
Mike Ling began to get suspicious of his cable company.
They were charging him higher and higher prices every
year. For quite some time, he felt he was being taken
advantage of. Well, one day Mike found out he was wrong.
Instead, he discovered.... EVERYONE with cable service is
being taken advantage of!
He read about this in a special report by two of America's
leading consumer groups (Consumer Federation Of America
and Consumer's Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports
Magazine). The report said straight out that: "the
primary reason that cable rates have skyrocketed in recent
years is that cable companies are taking advantage of
their monopoly power."
In short, this means that they charge high prices, month
after month, simply because they can!
Well, Mike didn't like this at all. That's why he hired
a team of experts and spent 5 years developing an alternative...
without the high prices and high subscription fees! In
fact, with this program...
You Can Save Up To $500, $1000, And Even More Per Year
On Regular Cable And Satellite Bills!
The way this computer program works is it basically
communicates directly with the servers of TV stations
from all around the world. Cable and Satellite are actually
'middle-men' between you and these servers... but with this
computer program... the 'middle-men' are no longer needed!
This also means you can watch many channels that the 'middle-men'
don't give you access to!
So you get more great shows, live and uncensored news,
and international sports!
Think about the benefits here... you can save a lot of
money... you can watch almost any channel you want...watch
them on your computer AND your TV... take the channels with
you anywhere you travel... record the shows you want...and
you even get channels that cable and satellite don't offer!
It's Easy To Use!
You will notice that this program is simple and easy
to use. The buttons are big, easy to see, and easy to
navigate. No computer knowledge is required to use this
program.
Truth is... it had to be designed in an easy to use way.
There are thousands of channels to choose from that could
take you months if you were to look at them all! Last
time I counted, there were 3,003 TV channels, 1,658 Radio
channels and...
New Channels Are Added Almost Every Day!
That's why this program is designed to make it easy
to search for exactly what you want to watch.
With the click of your mouse you choose the country
you want to watch TV from. You can also choose a Genre
- be it movies, music, culture, education, HDTV, News,
politics, religion, shopping, sports, weather, or other
categories you can choose from. Whatever you choose, the
listings are in easy-to-read alphabetical order. All you
do is click on the channel you want to watch and... it plays!
It's also really easy and fast to switch from one channel
to another. In fact, it takes between 1 to 3 seconds for
any channel to load, even international channels!
You'll also notice a play and stop button, a button
to start and stop recording a show, a button to schedule
recordings, a button for radio stations, and a little
bar you can scroll to change the volume. All of these
buttons are easy to find and easy to use.
Plus, you get a really crisp and crystal-clear image!
There's even a button that let's you watch shows in full
screen...and...the image quality is really amazing...even when
watching channels on my 30-inch LCD monitor! And don't
forget, there are a number of channels that are in HDTV
(high definition television)! You must check these out!
Here Is What Others Say About This Program:
"I love being informed and I love watching international
news. Only after purchasing your service I began realizing
how little I knew. Normal people think that everything
newsworthy is found on CNN or Fox. How wrong they are!
Thank you for waking me up from my "normality"-
Adrian Gallagher, Palm Harbor, Florida
"I'm living in the States as an emigrant for about
16 years now. I'm an engineer and I'm living the American
dream. Still, from time to time, I like hearing my mother
tongue and see what happens in my home country. Thanks
to you now I can." - Ioan Melinte, Saddlebrook, New
Jersey
"I was spending a fortune on satellite fees, because
I am truly a television addict. Now I'm using you and
let me say just one thing: I now have a lot more spending
money." - Melvin Bishop, Hemphill, Texas
"It's a miracle that a service like this even exists...You're
the very first company that lets me watch just about anything
legally." - Jason Wolfowitz, Whitestone, New York
"It's incredible what you can see on 3000 channels.
I initially stuck to the ones I knew, but once you begin
exploring, you cannot stop. The more distant the country,
the stranger the television channels. You wouldn't believe
how many crazy stories are out there." - Johnny Meyer,
Ashmore, Queensland, Australia
There are countless more testimonials like these. Almost
everyone who uses this program finds it to be so entertaining,
they can't stop using it! And guess what else?

Well, Mike runs this ad copy online at www.tvonpcelite.com/5
and it works like gangbusters. Also, we are about to test
this ad in newspapers.
But, it's a long ad, ain't it? Sure is, 3,000 words
plus a few more depending on what close we are using.
So how much newspaper space do we need to run an ad like
this? Two full pages? More?
Actually, if you know what you are doing, believe it
or not, you can get it onto just one page. But, you gotta
be working with a savvy typesetter. We worked with Len
Mitsch who is located in Minneapolis. (I guess it doesn't
matter where you are located these days.) Anyway, I want
to give Len a plug here and, in a moment you'll see why
he comes with my highest recommendation. His phone number
is 651-286-6706 and, his email address is [email protected].
Truly, if you need typesetting, he is as good as they
come.
So here's how this ad is formatted:
Kevin, insert ad here.
Notice this ad has six columns. This is a really good
idea for a long copy ad. See how the headline is upper
and lower case and flushed left and ragged right? See
how the subheads are located throughout the ad to give
the ad visual relief. See the copy inside the two boxes
and where the boxes are placed in the ad?
Look, you already know you should have a swipe file
of great ad copy. Well, I'm here to tell you should also
have a swipe file of world-class formats...and...
This Ad Can Be
The Very First
In Your Collection!
By the way, to get an idea of how this ad will look
in the newspapers, just imagine the ad is four times larger.
Want to see what online versions of this ad look like?
Go to www.tvonpcelite.com/5.
Okay, chow. (I wish I knew how to spell that word).
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
P.S. If it's me who writes your ad copy, I'll see that
you get it already typeset. I think format is too important
to be done outside my control.

Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
P.S.
P.S. I'll actually probably publish the
newsletter I was working on so much for this month as my
next issue. It's a very long newsletter (about at least
three times the normal size), but it will give you a lot
to think about and I think you will enjoy reading it.
Peace!
