Free TV

No Pr0n TV?

Cool nonetheless.

John Q, check again. Look under Per View. There is a few Spice channels there..:D

Thanks for the, er, heads up. No free stuff, though.

Seriously, though, I can view the promotional video, but none of the content. Wonder if anyone else is having difficulty, or a multicast enabled ISP is REQUIRED?

Just click "I Accept" for the CC charges.

I watched teh Matrix and some pr0n last night!

All that jerking must have made you blind.:D There is a ton of free adult content there. Some of it very hardcore. premChan tab then cineBLUE if you want the hardcore.

but it's nice that it's available. I think if ISP's would implement IP multicast on their networks, streaming media would even be better of higher quality as without multicast I'm sure the network would bottleneck and cause the feed to down speed (or buffer) if a massive viewer ship started. My understanding is that multicast is one feed from server onto a multicast backbone (like Sprintlink, Level3, others) to end user in a multicast enabled ISP network. The main nodes have IGMP v2 enabled so that the network don't get flooded with the stream for users not wanting the feed so bandwidth is conserved on the server end and user end.
I know of content providers using multicast that I can't get now because the ISP is not multicast enabled to/from the internet backbone.

hopefully they can successfully implemement it. It's time to bring real broadband content to user's homes. Sure they offer most of the big name networks but at least it's a start.

wow lots of channels that directv doesn't have. i haven't heard of most of the channels either.

Well I have never heard of some, But I think I have most of them, I don't have Tech Variety TV (Tech TV?), So I wouldn't really be interested as Dish Network would be better than getting It over Verizon DSL(ex-GTE Ilec).

Awesome! I wish they would add more channels and get a fatter (a really fatter) pipe ... I would personally subscribe to it in a heartbeat if it competed with dish and cable, and of course, the "cool" factor

I have 3mbps dsl and my connection still isnt fast enough to get the full stream.

It doesn't work for me - boo hoo. I get the web site, but when I click on any of the channels, IE tells me "error on page". and that's the end of it.

I've got a fat pipe and a good computer, and it doesn't keep up. I suspect it's their pipe, not mine.

Proof of concept will be when it takes more than a handful of folks reading this news bite and connecting out of curiosity to overwhelm their system.

It's fun to watch the weather channel on my tuner and on their page (such as it is) at the same time. Backspace is a minute or two delayed.

the video and audio are very choppy and somtimes take a few minutes to load even though I have a 3000k road runner connection. Also the brodcast is delayed because I was watching a&e on there and on my satellite and it was showing a completly diferent show. They also should add comedy central.

Based on VTV for Pismo Beach, CA being one of the channels, I'd say they're watching west coast feeds. The A&E you see there is probably three hours off what you're seeing.

I notice that they're about 50 seconds behind on The Weather Channel.

Anyone know what they are thinking about charging for this?

looks like 4.95 for 50 channels and 9.95 for 80 channels

4.95 would be a good price if they kept the only real channels in there. Like A&E and the history channel. If someone comes out with a service that has A&E, History, Discovery, and TLC for 4.95 I would get it instantly and cancel my cable. Oh and MTV and VH1 would be kickass. Late at night when nothing else is on music is a good substitute. Although that of course is a wonderful pipe dream.

It still crashes my IE 6!!!!:(

Crashed mine until I realized I didn't have WMP 9. It won't work on WMP 8.

ive got WMP 9

Playboy was not very choppy at all.. but I can't get the weather channel. When I click on it, it does not do anything.

Hello. I was just wondering. I saw somebody post that said, when u click on a pay channel, just click the accept credit card charge and watch the movie. I can't seem to understand how they can charge you, when you never set up an account or registered a credit card with them. Does this mean that it is free till they are out of Beta?

Oui, oui.
