Ooooh. Now this sounds good. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

$10/mo for only 12 channels (according to their wifi lineup). No thanks.

With hardware solutions such as slingbox and the monsoon HAVA or PC based solutions such as ORB, none of which have monthly fees, Im not sure why people would pay for such a service.

If you could save by cutting out channels you don't want I'd go for it. But out of all those, I'd only want to watch Discover and Cartoon Network.
I'd pay because it's bound to be better quality than a home solution, and I couldn't even get that to work anyway.
I hope they don't restrict people because of their country... This looks like the sort of thing they'd prevent non-US citizens from using :(.

Interesti,g news but seems expensive for the service. So believe other people, from what I could see. I'll keep on searching
