    Just wondered what it's like and whether any nasties/spyware etc. comes with the download.
    I have TVUPlayer, Sopcast, PPMate and TVAnts installed but thought this would add something different (especially the Fifth Gear Shortcuts and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit on Demand!)
    Cheers.

    Obviously at no replies you haven't.

    I downloaded it myself. It isn't a TVUPlayer type of thing steaming live tv. It's more like a Sky plus thing like watching programmes someone else has recorded.
    Picture quality is good and the download came without virus / shiteware etc.
    If anyone wants to try it click here

    Not paid owt yet mate.

    No intention of either.
    Although I've noticed it's a beta release. Probably still at the testing stage. Perhaps when they finally release it as a full program it might cost summat.
    It'll be quickly uninstalled then!
