1 of 5 I should have read the reviews Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Unsatisfied Customer from Austin, Texas  

I agree with the group. This is cheesy software and the description is extremely misleading, web content, trailers, and constantly locks my computer. I only hope that the rebate arives, I would hate to think I spent full price on this garbage. Shame on you Buy.com for offering this product.

1 of 5 Don't waste your money! Saturday, February 23, 2008
A Customer from Lebanon, Oregon  
There might be 1,000 TV Channels available -- but none are worth watching! I tried this against my better judgement because of the rebate. Guess what? Rebate denied! Avoid this product like the plague!

This item did not meet my expectations. I was under the impression that I would be able to watch live TV programs, which is not the case with this software.

1 of 5 completely terrible Saturday, January 26, 2008
A Customer from Baton Rouge, LA  
This program is completely worthless. Burning money is less of a waste. I was dumb enough to buy this before researching it. For example: if you want the "on demand" movies that this comes with go to http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/. In fact, when you want to watch one of these it even opens up a window in internet explorer. Basically this software is a bunch of bookmarks to various places online that stream stuff nobody really wants to watch. The ONLY reason you should buy this is if you are a huge fan of radio stations that are either in a different state and stream online or international. But again, you can find EVERYTHING this program offers for free online but the fact is that none of it is even worth searching for.

1 of 5 Not worth it! Wednesday, January 16, 2008
A Customer from Brooklyn, NY  
I bough this product hoping I could see some Israeli TV and NY local channels. The Israeli channels they offer either dont work or they have the shopping channels and the equivalent of C-SPAN thank you very much! I emailed them asking why some of the channels dont work and asked about the local NY channels. I never got an answer. Only thing I can say positive is that they have an on demand section that leads you to sites where you can see full length current movies. I probably could have found these sites myself if I bothered to Google it. Dont waste your money.

2 of 5 Disappointing Tuesday, January 15, 2008
A Customer from Whittier, CA  
Not what I expected. Only a collection of web sites that you can check out for free by using Google, Yahoo, etc. Easy to install and use but even with the rebate, it is barely worth the money.

3 of 5 Get what you didn't pay for Monday, January 14, 2008
bretttr from Vancouver, WA  
Software only solution - I don't know why, but when I bought it I had thought there was a 'card' involved... my bad. It was easy to install and get working, but the quality of the picture (I didn't expect a lot and was still disappointed) and even with Comcast high speed the connection would drop frequently. If you really want to watch something, don't choose this product.

1 of 5 useless and misleading Monday, January 14, 2008
A Customer from fairhaven ,ma  
this software gives you a lot of garbage channels and no good ones.I think I would be pleased with it if it recieved free "over the air channels" like I was mislead to believe; ie "no tv tuner needed" feature, I figured at least I would be able to get major market locals.Most of the movies are older than dirt!!!!!!! and a lot of trailers! yes trailers, go figure. the only positive is the console seems ok and installation went smoothly ,otherwise there is nothing interesting playing

2 of 5 Known channels? I think NOT! Monday, January 14, 2008
A Customer from Portland, OR  
The channels are unknown the software is easy to install and use however, i was somehow misled about the channels. Software works no doubt, but if you are looking for channels for what you might think it is? Don't buy this product.

1 of 5 Can't Even Register Wednesday, January 09, 2008
A Customer from Brodheadsville, PA  
Ordered, received and installed this product. I must have typed in the correct serial # 15 times. Used the O's as O's and tried them as zero's. I can't use the program because it will not allow me to register it. Jim- Pocono Mts PA

3 of 5 OK BUT FAR FROM GREAT Wednesday, January 09, 2008
MAPLES from FLORENCE, AL  
The program itself runs good and offers some things you normally don't find elsewhere but this is not a replacement for regular TV access and doesn't offer access to some major brands (CBS) and some broadcasts just don't work. Picture quality is a step above YouTube but that's about it. A great addition if you get it cheaply but no alternative to TV.

1 of 5 Save your money Tuesday, January 08, 2008
Bill from Fayetteville, NC  
<p>Even with the rebate that will bring the price down to about 10 bucks, this software is a rip-off.</p> <p>The description makes it sound like they are capturing satellite feeds and broadcasting the channels. Far from the case. The software is only a windows media or real media player interface to content available on web sites with a channel listing that could be compiled with Google searches.</p> <p>Since they are individual web sites the quality varies from terrible to almost good. Even with an 8Mbs Internet connection and strong computer the video is blocky and full of artifacts and cuts out to rebuffer constantly.</p> <p>The advertised selection of channels includes local and county government from several areas of the US that make up a large number of channels, local stations from obscure mid-west areas and a few nationals like CNN, The Weather Channel and Bloomberg. Many channels that are portrayed as network or from a large city end up being a weather loop with advertising. In other words, for the most part, the channel selection is as worthless as the broadcast quality is bad.</p> <p><b>I am hard pressed to find anything to justify spending 10 bucks on this software, and actually wish I could return it for a refund. I am greatly disappointed.</b></p>

user from Philadelphia, PA  
I agree with the prior posting. This s/w is the same stuff that is available for free on the Internet. As far a the rebates, good luck waiting for them. I had bad experience in the past getting rebates from these people.

1 of 5 burrhus' review above should be ONE STAR for produ Monday, December 31, 2007
burrhus from Andover, NJ  
If I could have, I would have given it ZERO stars. Sorry about the confusion, but buy.com sets the default rating at 5 stars, and I had clicked "SUBMIT" before I realized that. My written review reflects my true opinion.

1 of 5 Bogus Monday, December 31, 2007
A Customer from Mpls, MN  
This software is bogus. I contacted Smith Micro before ordering it because I read some online reviews that were unfavorable. The company is only reselling a program that is an interface to free online tv that is available elsewhere, well, for FREE! When I asked for a channel lineup, they refused to provide one.
