I agree fully about not stealing services or cars, as a photographer I respect others copyrights like I would want them to respect mine (and cars). However...
As part of the Vision service plan we are already paying for the basic Sprint TV channels. When I switched to Sprint I too was misled into believing the two main complaints of many of those with Moguls, that I would be able to use Sprint TV, and have a GPS in my pocket. After getting my Mogul and finding out neither of these features would work, I was livid. I'm glad to see that Sprint and HTC are finally making the GPS a reality (if they hold true to their word), and now that the Touch has Sprint TV I can't imagine Sprint not making a version for the Mogul and other PPCs. Yes, I did look at MobiTV, which is where Sprint gets there TV channels from. But I have a problem with paying Sprint for TV channels I can't use, then paying MobiTV for the same channels AGAIN when I should just be able to use the Sprint TV channels I'm already paying for! How insane is it that a (relatively speaking) very simple device like a phone can have Sprint TV yet a nearly full featured computer can't (ditto on the GPS)?
Now whether or not there are some rules being broken in respect to modifying the Touch Sprint TV files in order to get it to work on Mogul, there very well may be some issues with that...but we are not stealing the services that we are already paying for (at least, those of us with Vision services).
