Only what I had seen on the website.  "Free TV" - after you pay us for the
program...

The fact is, there are huge quantities of "free" (as in either beer or just
freely available) Satellite TV (google "free to air" or "FTA satellite")
and they're providing some way to get at that from your computer.

I'm _not_ convinced they have a legal right to distribute the TV signals
they're talking about.  otoh, they could be providing you with a media
player preset with links to streaming video from actual networks - I have
no idea how many (if any) networks _do_ have a streaming video feed.  If
that's the case, then they have a right to do what they're doing, but it
wouldn't cost you anything but your time to do it yourself.
