“It's this immediate access to ... films (in your living room) that is a real plus for us --no going out, no drive to the theatre, no admission fee, no waiting in line, pop your own corn (no $3 - $5), no brushing snow and ice off the car, no drive home. High Five! ”

I'm the opposite of computer geek, and using an iPad is sometimes the limit of my skills. I used to have a hard time finding programs that interested me on my satellite service. Yet I was able to start using your system in about15 minutes, and in just a few hours I completely mastered everything. So now I can find anything I want to watch in a few seconds - easy. This makes more sense in how to find things I want to watch, than my old satellite service ever did. I'm watching really entertaining shows and programs now that I had never heard of before. The picture and sound quality are a lot better now than my satellite reception ever was. Best of all, I have no bill to pay at the end of the month. I cancelled my satellite service, because it makes no sense to have it anymore. This is better.

“A plus for us is that with only one theatre in town, we don't get some of the potentially LESS popular films, so WatchItFree.TV makes it possible to see any and all films at a time of our choosing without having to drive to Barrie or even Toronto which we had to do in the past”

"Forget how much less this costs than cable or satellite TV. I'm astounded at how much content I can watch from all over the world. It's a lot better quality than that junk those poor buggers who use cable and satellite are forced to watch. I know, because I used to be one of their angry customers. The picture and sound quality is much better than my cable was. But lots of these programs are SPECTACULAR! I can easily get live news from 10 or more news organizations worldwide, and now I notice what spin the American news companies are adding to the facts. I was unaware, before. I can also watch movies from other countries and independent producers, that are superior in every way to even the Pay-TV offered by cable and satellite. I just watched an incredible movie from Norway - and I would never have guessed they even had any. I'm also finally free of having to argue with idiots who used to "adjust" - upwards or course - what they charged me every month. Today MY opinion is anyone who pays one more cable or satellite TV bill is foolish. No offense intended.

“Clearly, the value proposition for this product is a game-changer. It's obvious to anyone who sees or uses this (WatchItFree.TV) system that the days of being sold a box of "S#@*" by providers of TV programming and delivery are over. I can't imagine why anyone would ever go back to the old way of watching TV. It took me a few days to accept that I can watch almost ANYTHING now. I don't have to wait for anyone to broadcast it on their timetable. My evenings are much more entertaining and rewarding now. Thanks ”

We were paying more than a hundred dollars a month for cable with lots of extras. We switched. Now we get about 10x as much stuff to watch, sharper picture, and we keep our money. This is a no-brainer. If other people can't see the value, well, they are just plain "dumb bunnies".

I know people who think YouTube is the best place to find interesting stuff to watch on TV. Wrong! This [WatchItFree.TV] system is like having ALMOST every movie or TV show ever made, and it's available at the snap of my fingers. I now watch one episode right after another, instead of having to wait a week. No commercials is good, too. When I was paying about $80 a month for cable, I was seeing lots of infomercials, shows and movies repeated a lot, and the same news on every other channel. Now, things are a LOT better. Thanks!

I watch so many live Greek TV channels now that I think I'm back home. It's great! So is the monthly bill -$0. Oooooopa!

I just wanted some way to watch Cricket matches on my TV. Couldn't get it on any other service, so I tried WatchItFree.tv. Now, I'd never go back to the "old way", because they never even remotely offered the choice or variety that this [WatchItFree.tv] does. To add insult to injury, my cable provider even charged me a fee to cancel my cable service! Even in parting, they found a way to offend me one more time.

I'm an accountant, and Itravel a lot. I use this system so I don't have to pay a monthly bill when I'm away. I'm also happy because I <b><u>don't</u></b> have to pay a monthly bill when I'm in town, either. That means I'm always winning. You should ask your potential customers to calculate whether the 1-time cost to have your system installed, is better than paying for cable every month. For me it sure was, and with your system my cable TV expenses are zero. I'm telling my clients.

No more clock. No more calendar. No more "TV Guide". No more recording. All unnecessary. This is the right way to do it. Whatever you want, right now, free. Nothing else compares. Period.

Bill - Toronto
We're happy about not being forced anymore to having to pay for a whole group of TV channels just to watch 1 or 2 TV shows. We figured out that we were paying for 6 useless channels we never watched just to get one channel we did watch, and we only watched 2 shows on that channel. What a waste of money that was! We're not sure what we like best now - not having to worry about how expensive it was just to get that 1 channel we wanted to watch, or being able to get an almost unlimited source of programs. Even if we never use your system again (impossible!), it's completely paid for already with the money we saved by canceling our cable TV. It was a good deal. Over the past 4 years, I estimate we have saved $8400. That's a used car for our daugter! Thank you.

The variety is what's great. We're not stuck paying our cable provider for a whole tier, just to get one “specialty channel” that we like in that tier. Before, we had to get a bunch of these packages just so we could find enough interesting programs to watch. With yours [system] we find more to watch every time we sit down than we could watch for the rest of our life. We also really enjoy starting a program at whatever time we want. We aren't rushing to finish supper just to see a TV show. Thanks! You folks did a good job of putting everything together, and it works great.

Just a note to say how pleased we are with the box, and how happy Carol is with her Spanish [from Spain] TV channels. Best wishes

In spite of what they try to tell everyone, I don't think there is value in cable TV service. I can find and watch what I want on the Internet, and I don't need it to be delivered on THEIR cable wire, or fiber. Or via satellite TV either. When I ask my self "in whose pocket should MY money be?", my answer is MINE - not the cable company. Your system does that for me. Thanks a lot for that.

I used to spend a ridiculous amount of money every month for a [brand name withheld] HD subscription for a lot of channels I couldn't watch. If I couldn't be home when something was playing, I had to go through a complicated series of steps of finding out what was on, when it was on, and what channel, then set up the PVR to record it. What a silly way to do things THAT was. Now [with WatchItFree.tv] I just watch anything I want whenever it suits MY schedule! You told me this was easier, but I guess I didn't get it at first. Now I wonder why anybody would do it the old way. Nobody has to record anything. Do the cable companies get more money when people record something, or are they just trying to make it look like they're providing some special service? All they did for me was waste my time. They took my money, too. Now I know. I also now realize that MUCH of what the cable company charges me for (charge #1) ISN'T for the TV content I watch, it's for their cost to run their cable wire to my house. Then they charge me AGAIN (charge #2) because I want to watch a sports program on that same wire. Then they charge me AGAIN (charge #3) to run the Internet signal through that same wire. Then they charge me AGAIN (#4) to put a telephone service on that same wire. Oh ya, they also charged me (charge #5) every month for THEIR special box, that they forced me to rent to watch what they were charging me for! In my mind, they are charging me 4 times for the same wire, and one more time for a box they were forcing me to use! If I ONLY have the Internet on their wire, I can now get my own entertainment with your system. No extra charges. Most people don't think! You don't pay separately for water! (Charge #1 for water for washing my hands; Charge #2 for water to wash dishes; Charge #3 for water for the lawn; Charge #4 for water for a shower.) WHY are cable companies allowed to charge extra based upon what is on the cable wire? I think that is a blatant rip-off!

You fail to explain something important your website! We DON'T spend a lot of time watching TV in the summer, but when we had cable, we still got the same monthly bill anyway. That was before your WatchItFree.TV. It was a lot of $$ down the drain. Using WatchItFree.tv devices, there is NO monthly bill, so we aren't wasting $$ every month. The money we saved in just 3 months more than paid for an installed system from you folks. Not having to pay for cable or satellite every month makes a BIG difference to our household expenses. Another thing -I don't know if everyone has the same "quality" we had on our standard cable service, but it was so bad that it was hard to read printing on the screen, like the weather numbers and sports scores. We must have complained twenty times. They never cared, they said there was no problem, it must be our TV, etc. Really? We use that same TV for WatchItFree.tv, and YOUR picture quality is really excellent. I think if you just showed "their picture quality" next to "your picture quality", you'd have people lined up to get your system installed, just for the quality.

I was FED UP with having to speak to idiots on the telephone (after waiting on hold for 45 minutes) about picture quality, or arguing every month because they kept trying to add a few $$ to my bill for no reason. I'm told that cable TV companies, phone companies, and cell companies are the most hated businesses there are. But they <b><u>HAD</u></b> a monopoly, and that's how they stayed in business. You guys are now an alternative. At last! I'm really happy. Every month, I read that the number of cable and satellite subscribers is falling. GOOD! When they treat customers like dirt, that's what they reap. If you get a chance to kick their a$$ (figuratively, of course), please do it one more time from me. Just because they deserve that kind of attention.

I work for a major TV station. I'm impressed with your system, especially the quality. This is a really good example of how the digital revolution is changing my business. You guys provide access to more content than I even see at work.
