Spice and HBO feeds - that can't be legal. But until I hear it is illegal, there's a few channels there that I may watch that Comcast doesn't provide...
nothing like streaming HDTV over dsl while handling a digg effect. Either way the whole 'HDTV' thing is crap. High quality: yes, HD: no. plus theres only 2 high quality channels.
But at least theres an upside to this website, and thats that some of the channels dont suck.
HBO Movies 1 & 2, espn, fox, etc. :D

Great idea, since i don't live in USA it would be great for me to watch these streams of American Channels, but i still can't get it to work, i can hear it but i can't watch it. I have all the latest codecs installed, Divx, Xvid, etc, and i also tried on IE (My primary browser is Firefox). Obviously is the latest Windows Media Player version too.
Kinda tough to capture the stream when I seem unable to access the URL for it.
Anyway, it seems worth noting that things like sci-fi channel is not THE sci-fi channel, but instead a channel that seems to show old sci-fi movies, either very cheap or free to lisence. I assume the rest of the streams are just like that. Not saying that that's a bad thing at all, but it would legitimize the service.
Couldnt tell what was on, say HBO movies. The stream hardly worked. The movie didnt look too recent, or maybe high profile though. Couldnt say.
its works on my g3 ibook and t1 connection at work. if you don't have flip4mac, you probably won't get most channels. have not tried vlc, which is my general favorite for media files on the mac. some channels work better than other, i assume from digg and others (i saw this on netscape.com, dont ask) the performance is not at its best. but all things considered it is still a sweet thing. some channels work great, some don't, luckily the better ones have (pron =P) worked for me. so no i won't be getting a pc. thnx.
I run retrovision.tv, which is a place that most of these stream sites that steal content get the content they steal. It was said above that this is material is made available freely by the webmasters. Nope. My site clearly states in it's terms of service that this hot-linking is not permitted. That makes it copyright infringement and it is actionable by the DMCA.
I suggest that you guys running these TV sites that hotlink should buy your own servers and pay your own bandwidth bills.
Is this legal?. Nope. And if I find an advantage in pursuing legal action, I will.
