    I would be interested in this but the lack of information on what channels and programming that one gets makes me shy away, on the one screen shot it shows H2, Discover, History, Sci channel, fxx, animal planet, national geographic, tnt, etc but I can’t find any info on whether you actually get these channels , do you need to subscribe to them, is it just select programs from these channels?
    Can anyone point me to a site that actually states what I’d get for 50 bucks for 3 years ?

    This sounds like an amazing alternative to Netflix but is it geo restricted like Netflix is? No matter what vpn I use to access USA netflix I get an error message. Will this be the same issue if I buy this & why is it they do not have a one week trial? Thx

    This company is a company from Malaysia that seems to be selling a $3.00/ month service of bundling what is available elsewhere (except maybe their own “browser”). They seem to be mostly pay-for-view for what you couldn’t get for yourself free, but might have contracts for channels and sources not available to the individual (they aren’t too proud of this if it’s true as I can’t find an answer anywhere). They seem to be shooting for the “I want it all in one place and easy to use” market, who will buy this service to see what’s in it. It manages your “on line” games, which you would not have if you couldn’t manage them(?). I have watched their recent YouTube videos, including their “Welcome” for new subscribers, and still have no idea what you get that you don’t already have, or can’t already get anyway. The “world’s largest library of pay-for-view movies” seems to be just a collection of other, already available services. Once again, if not, they don’t make what you get not available elsewhere obvious. By their logic, a web browser is the “world’s largest library of pay-for-view movies”.
    Here is some of their own information. Good luck figuring out what you get:

    At http://freecast.com/portfolio_page/select-tv/ it states:
    SelectTV is a co-branded delivery of the FreeCast Network, allowing companies to license the FreeCast guide and library to their customers. This new offering will allow Telco carriers, mobile network operators and independent bandwidth providers to offer their customers a low-cost video-on-demand platform to accompany pre-existing Internet service.
    The SelectTV VOD interface will also be offered as a pre-load on various devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers and televisions, as well as various hospitality-based businesses including hotels and timeshares.

    And at http://freecast.com/portfolio_page/rabbit-tv/ it states:
    Launched in February of 2013, Rabbit TV is a web-based subscription service powered by the FreeCast Network, giving subscribers easy point-and-click access to over 50 years of popular entertainment online. The service is a joint venture between FreeCast and “As Seen on TV” originators Telebrands Corp. Less than 10 months after its launch, the product had already sold over 2 million units nationwide.

    So, I’ve seen the “rabbit” usb device for $1.00 at several discount stores, but that is probably just the front end to a subscription service with monthly charges. The company seems to be bragging that you can store your video on any off line or cloud storage device that you arrange, as if it were their service. It does look very convenient for those who want tons of video content available from one interface. Not me.

    I’ve used FreeCast in the past to watch NFL Football – and while it has improved, I sure as heck would not want to use it except occasionally.

    on the bottom of page selecttv.com they reference articles featured in usa today, forbes, the huffington post, inc., yahoo finance, and digital trends.

    If anybody can find any reference to “selecttv” at any of these sites, please post links here. i can’t seem to find any.
    makes me very suspicious.

    Be aware that the content is geolocked. You’ll need a VPN to watch a lot of the channels. Their own help tells you this.

    There was a block on a forum that posted his login details for people to try and the films are a joke. B movie city, pretty much all the padding films Amazon Prime uses to add numbers. It also confirmed that content was being blocked outside the US.
