@centrox,
Spammy, I don't know. I've had it for about a week now and it's working pretty well. For one time payment of $5 you can upgrade the streaming. At first I was getting a lot of buffering but that seems to have stopped. There's no closed captioning, which I usually require on tellevision, but I use headphones with the Android and I'm able to hear much better with the headphones.
On BBC and WGN Chicago I'm getting a lot of buffering to the point where it's useless.
I don't have cable on television and I'm not interested in acquiring it, but with 94 channels to choose from there is some use for it.
