Not to crap but this has bad deal or dead deal all over it... Looks like you had to sign up for some sort of service but I found this in the FAQ...

When do I get the TV tuner card and software I signed up for ?

A The hardware will start shipping at the end of October, 1999. The roll-out will be on a "first come, first served" basis. Shipment date depends on how many registrants we receive, the arrival of hardware will be based on where you are on the list numerically, and not what day you registered.


What's the catch?

A You give us demographic information, and you look at some advertising since you must launch the TV viewer at our Web site. We use demographic information collected from the Web site to target content and advertising.

Thanks anyway! If you guys get a card lmk how it works

Deal is dead, and has been for a while. All the dates mentioned are 1999-ish.

May be hot.

Looks like they went belly up. Maybe they are blowing out all the hardware?
