Re: Play TV ??

As you saw from my earlier reply to this thread I'm extremely dubious about the whole thing (given you've only been in business for 7 weeks). As this is an IPTV service, how about you explain a few things:
- No mention is made on your website that it'll hammer the broadband usage of customers. My father-in-law would not have been happy to sign up to your service and find a massive bill from BT for overuse of his connection.
- The blurb also mentions the HD box. From memory, the average broadband rate in the UK is still around 2.5Mbps. Last time I checked, HD needed a hell of a lot more bandwidth than that (and that's assuming we ignore the latency issues of using the internet for something like that).
- How come you've only been in business for 7 weeks and use an accountants as the business registered address?

Personally I'm happy with the VM service we have, but for someone like my father-in-law who can't get Sky or Virgin if there was a viable proven alternative he'd sign up like a shot.

(On the plus side as it's mainly sports channels he's after, I did find as a result of this that Setanta offer an IPTV service which he's thinking about ).
