[MADem]

2. Is it free content? n/t

[napi21]

3. It appears to be free. I just checked 3 channels so far, but they just

started to play! I'm quite impressed!

[WhiteTara]

4. thanks!

5. Doesn't work on a Mac. Wants some kind of plug-in, but doesn't

say what it is that it wants, just "click here after you get the plug-in."

10. Makes me wonder if the Mystery Plug-In isn't adware. Or worse.

16. I took the third option, and nothing happened.

I also sent a message to Channelchooser, and they'll get back to me as soon as possible, which is to say (given the state of customer service in the world today), never.

[MoeHayNow]

17. Heck! I didn't

even get that. Just the "channel chooser" logo flashing over and over and over.
I think I'm hypnotized now.

Might try it with my work PC laptop, even though I hate it.

[Extend a Hand]

6. wow thx

that's pretty neat.

[IntravenousDemilo]

7. Pick push play indeed...

...so far, it doesn't work worth shit. All I get is ever-expanding concentric circles and no sound at all. I even tried downloading Flip4Mac, as they suggested for my Safari browser, but still no dice.

[Clovis Sangrail]

8. is that really the Sci Fi channel?

I don't have cable so I can't check but the Sci Fi Channel (at this site) is just showing old movies...
maybe a different Sci Fi Channel?

[napi21]

11. Sasquatch is on my cable SCIFI ritght now. Some movie about

Big Foot. I don't know if that helps you.

[Clovis Sangrail]

12. the channelchooser Sci Fi looks

like createure from the black lagoon or something.
An old b&w with a canoe and people swimming around with spearguns

[napi21]

13. Naw, what I see is very dark, but the guys seem to be in a cave,

no water. Miners hats on.

Guess it must be a different scifi channel.

[JDPriestly]

15. It can't be legal to access cable broadcasts for free.

I'd be very careful about this.

[Shipwack]

23. I think they are just using the names...

The content all seems to be either already free content such as C-Span, NASA, or Pentagon TV, old, public domain stuff, but does include the Three Stooges and old bugs bunny cartoons. The porn was old too... 70s era, or early '80s, judging from hair styles and lack of condoms...

Not completely "free"... I kept getting a pop up window occasionally, but no big deal.

Still, over all, worth a book mark. Thanks!

[GregD]

18. awesome - thank you.

I don't have cspan 2 or 3 available here so this TOTALLY rocks.

[Bjornsdotter]

19. I have Firefox

and it works for me....I tried the European Affairs station....it's great!


Thanks for sharing!

Cheers :toast:

20. Is there a channel for documentaries?

I didnt see one but then Im not too bright.

[dipsydoodle]

21. Is your BBC News the same as ours

or is it an overseas edition ? Should be easy to tell. Would also be good for you if you could get the CNN World Edition - it's not censured like yours.:)

[Dying Eagle]

22. Too Cool !!!

Thank You, paparush

The Poker channel, how cool!!!
