satellitetvtopc.com - any experiences?

[mset]

Hi guys

My Dad is a cricket fan and he found this site on cricketnext.com

http://www.satellitetvtopc.com

Does anyone have any idea about the reliability/authenticity of this service? It says that there is a one time $49.95 fee for the software and then you are good to go. Things that sound too good to be true usually are, right? I alwasy wonder of the service will be around 3 months fro mnow or if there are horrible reception/downtime/service quality issues with these things.

Anyhow, there's a big match this Saturday that he wants to watch, so he wants to know if he should sign up. Any info is appreciated.

Another site that says it provides the same thing free.

So this is P2P file sharing? And you need to allow info to be uploaded from your PC as well as the downloads that are coming in?

So what's the business model here?

myp2p.eu gives links to channels broadcast on sopcast , TVU player etc... There was a huge thread on ATOT about legality of such channels...don't know what the conclusion was..

BTW, what game?


EDIT: My friend bought the worldcup final (one-day) from a website for $15.... Those bastards just provided him with the myp2p.eu website.

Hi comp-n

I think it's the Australia- India game..? Is that going on this Saturday?

lol... I'm not much of a cricket fan myself.

Looks like I'll give myp2p.eu a try on my rig and then set him up with it if it seems okay. Something about installing this stuff on my rig gives me the creeps, though.

Cricket>baseball, unless you've got the attention span of a gnat (and now they've got 20/20 for even those!)

Okay... myp2p seems to have something to do with Sopcast..

EDIT: Okay, checked out the Sopcast site. I'll try to determine whether the content we're looking for would be available there. It now seems to me that myp2p and the first one I linked to is a program that allows connectivity to multiple 'sopcast-like' servers. I don't necessarily even want that since we do not want any other content besides the sports.

I wish we could but we don't get it up here (Canada).

Uh...baseball requires great attention to detail. Not sure what you're talking about.

I guess the dish charge is too high? I remember it getting upwards of $40 for one weekend in the past.

Zee Sports is on free preview now on DishNetwork....watching the Ind vs Aus 2nd ODI at Kochi, India right now. I watched 20/20 on sopcast. www.tnlcricket.com has folks posting sopcast links regularly.

EDIT: ZEESA Channel 576

Watching Baseball is like watching the highlights of all the maiden overs from a 5-day Cricket Test Match
