    I'm sure it is a rip-off/scam of some sort, but anybody know what it is?

    I've googled a bit, and seen ppl. recommend it to others, so...

    Looks like they are taking satelite channels and streaming them online.

    I wouldn't expect this to be around long. It might not be a scam as such, but it is illegal.

    i dont even think, they stream the channels.
    in fact i think, they will just give you 5000 links to different tv streams.

    If your tuners work with WMC, in most cases they should work with MP. However, tuners cannot simultaneously work with two different media center applications. So if WMC is accessing the tuners, MP won't be able to access them. To be sure that WMC is not interfering, you should use the Windows "Services" panel and disable all of the...

You can sniff http comunication with the help of Wireshark or Fiddler to determine channel url which can be used to create IPTV channel in TV server. If the url is not static(changes dynamically)...

    Since you have MP2 you have the option of using the TV Mosaic server. Give it a try, you don't need to do anything in MP 2 to test its capabilities, just download and install the browser based api (not the MP2 version that supports it at this point) from the MP2 - V2.5 - TVMosaic Provider for MP2 thread, let it use your tuners and do...
