To be honest, I find it a lot easier to subscribe to a VPN that allows you to watch it live/on-demand.

I've been doing this for years until I can easily get the shows I want for free.

Obviously, this product is design for those who have little knowledge or the know-how and to use it on a TV. You are paying for the work and the hardware so that someone else does it for you.!

As I've said, it is for those who buy for the convenience and I am just speaking for my point of view with these gadgets with relatively short lifespan. I find having a small keyboard with Touchpad is the same. I've bought up potential warning with the many MIC products, there is no guarantee that the service will last indefinitely. They could just close down the service one day or release a newer box so everyone has to buy another one.

For $240, I can get about 30-36 months of VPN service with multiple exit points around the world, and I highly doubt the TVPad will last that long without any kind of "upgrade". Someone has to make money somewhere or/and to sustain the service. Obviously, my reason to use VPN is not just for TV, it's for US contents and shopping as well.

I like this product very much but seeing the other boxes like OPlay, BoxOffice, GoogleTV with more capability, I am just doing a bit of comparison.
