I keep getting this offer to watch European TV for a one-time cost of $29.95.
They’ll also let me take a test drive for free.
So I wonder, is this a scam? Has anyone here tried it? I’m reluctant to dive in for fear of the malware contamination that might result.
Here’s the linky:

Hope to hear from y’all.
As far as I can tell, it’s not exactly a scam, but you have to pay $ and you get a (quite possibly malware infested) interface that lets you watch whatever the BBC etc. already has available on its website for free.
I suspect that, as with many of these sites, much of the content they link to is freely available on the net anyway.
You and aldiboronti might be right. I crossed my fingers and went ahead and tried the free test drive. I got this long listing of all the channels, but couldn’t try any of them so I uninstalled.
In the download, you get a matrix of channels by country, with a bar graph for each, indicating the speed of transmission. There were quite a few for Argentina. But that’s about as far as my exploration went.
You pay 29.99 for one year’s subscription, but for just $39.99 (or some such paltry increase) you get a subscription for life. Which to me smells like a scam and a half.
