Anyone connected to this site or similar sites?
Apparently you can get channels 100% legal that you can't get in North America (feeds from 78+ countries).
If you are....what's the catch? (One time order fee is how much?)
Do you need any hardware?
This isn't cable T.V....it's an internet site. But there are other internet sites that offer the same thing basically.
Anybody?

I am ALWAYS hesitant when I see the words "Small One-Time Membership Fee" for something that is 100% legal!

The name doesn't ring a bell. OTOH if it's what I think it is the catch is you'd likely not want to watch much/any of it. It's ethnic channels that for whatever reason can't get carried by the local cable/satellite services. So if you're looking at watching something from a small country in it's native language then go for it.
OTOH for those on the east coast a FTA dish might make more sense.
If you expect to see North American stuff don't count on it. Here Lost season 4 starts this week. When was that new in North America? Other stuff is even older.

I don't know about that site (just looked at it), but there are a few other sites I've seen out there. Trouble is the video quality is usually pretty bad.
This one is a little different (not a list of channels but just saved shows - and movies!), but I've been watching old episodes of Son Of The Beach on here for the last few days :lol::

Video quality is fairly decent (better than any others I've seen). It's totally free, but the catch is you have to watch some commercials. But, the commercials are only a few seconds long (much less commercials than you'd get on cable).
Oh, and one of Arnold's first movies is on there (http://www.hulu.com/watch/12323/hercules-in-new-york)! (Unfortunately this is the dubbed version.)
