Re: How to watch LIVE TV on your phone, FOR FREE!!

This is posted on the site - looks like it might be down for awhile, the networks got wind of it. Sounds like they didn't get permission and are trying to work things out.

Quote:
Dear VuiVision subscriber,

We are entering a new phase in our beta testing which requires a number of new services to be installed which may take a couple weeks to bring on-line. These new services are required to comply with regulatory and statutory requirements.
Additionally, last week we were notified that the major networks were taking exception to our service. We are attempting to work things out with them. The Internet and mobile smart phones are redefining the way we view live, DVR'd and VOD content. Rules that regulated TV in the past are quickly becoming obsolete and no one really knows how to deal with new technology.
We value and respect creative content providers and want to work with them to protect their rights and, at the same time, create an ongoing business structure that makes sense. We continue to work towards this ideal.

Our position is quite simple. People should have a right to view content they have a right to see in their homes, anywhere they happen to be, not just on a TV that is stuck to a wall in their house. Our service allows that to happen. We are a virtual Slingbox. All the "sling" without the expensive box. Is it right for the networks to only allow rich people to view TV on their cell phones with the use of expensive equipment but not for ordinary working folks to enjoy a cheaper version of the same service?
We sell a virtual antenna that allows you to pick up the same "over the air" networks you have a right to view. What is the difference between the service we offer and a pocket TV that has been sold for years? The truth is... nothing.
We hope that the networks will make a business decision to work with us to create a wider distribution of their content, a larger viewing audience for TV shows and higher revenues through higher advertising rates. It's difficult to understand why networks would not tap into the nearly 300 million cell phones able to view our live, DVR and VOD service.
While this plays out you have two options. We are offering a refund of your subscription fees or you can continue to use VuiVision and your subscription rate will never increase, even as we bring on premium content and you will be credited for the down time.
New subscriptions will be suspended until upgrades on our platform are completed.

Looks like the good channels won't be coming back...

Dear VuiVision subscriber,

Yesterday, final papers were filed to settle the legal action brought by ABC, CBS and Fox. In those documents we adamently defend our position that consumers have a right to view content they receive at home, through our service, without having to pay extremely high start-up or high subscription costs associated with delivering that content.

We are hopeful that the major broadcasters will see our service as a way to massively increase their revenue since VuiVision can be viewed anywhere in the world, not just in the United States.

Our updated delivery system should be in place by the second week in January that will allow a smoother viewing experience for cell phone viewers and will also introduce VuiVision to the iPhone.

We expect to announce HUGE news the first week in January pertaining to our content.

We continue to work with the networks to create a wider distribution of their content, a larger viewing audience for TV shows and higher revenues through higher advertising rates. It's difficult to understand why networks would not tap into the nearly 300 million cell phones able to view our live, DVR and VOD service.

While this plays out you have two options. We continue to offer a refund of your subscription fees or you can continue to use VuiVision and your subscription rate will never increase, even as we bring on premium content and you will be credited for the down time.

Areas in bold likely mean the networks said **** off and keep your hands off of our content.

Time to say goodbye! It was good while it lasted. They are never going to get permission from the networks to do this. They'll be lucking to get out of this with the shirts still on their back. Goodbye VueVision, I'll miss you.
