Are you old enough to remember the bogus ads that ran back in the 70s for an over-priced little box that you plugged into an electrical outlet that "turned your entire house into a giant TV antenna"?

They're back.

Google, Facebook and Yahoo have been absolutely polluted recently with misleading LiveWave ads making outrageous claims.

The current generation of ads claim that the LiveWave "antenna":

- Was developed using new technology developed at M.I.T.

- That astronauts in orbit use it to watch TV.

- That "new laws" passed in 2019 make it legal.

- That you will receive anywhere from 600 to 800 channels (depending on which ad you see).

Clicking on the Facebook, Yahoo and Google ads take you to pages like these:

https://smartertechtrends.com/2019/c/livewave/3-l2
https://smarthomegadget.co/livewave/discount/us/
https://www.trendytechmedia.com/products/livewave.html

that contain practically no truthful information, with the exception of (from fine print at the bottom of pages):

Once you are saturated with empty hype and veiled lies, if you are gullible enough to click on the "buy now" button, you are taken to:

It's anonymously registered, of course. This purchase page includes the typical good news that you are entitled to a major discount and is running the software that auto-generates a fake "purchaser" every eight seconds. LiveWave presents themselves as being owned by "SWELL ECOMM ENTERPRISES, LLC." and their corporate address as:

300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210-A
Wilmington, DE 19801

I have been unable to get a live person on their listed phone number 855 282 8073 .

Don't waste your $39.95 on this relatively useless "antenna".

Cable channels always have been and always will be delivered by the cable systems through a cable to your home.
Satellite TV signals are scrambled by the providers so that only their paying customers can receive them unscrambled.

The only programming that can be received by any antenna are the signals broadcast by over-the-air TV stations in local market cities. Those signals can be received more effectively by $10-$20 antennas available at major retailers. With these broadcast signals mostly occupying UHF frequencies (with a few sometimes using VHF), the "bowtie antennas" and simple loops and rabbit ears that came with your TV 30-50 years ago will do a better job of getting you "free TV" than the worthless LiveWave "antenna".
