Rabbit TV: A USB Device for Free TV Channels?

[DiracPool]

I just acquired this magic jack looking device called Rabbit TV

https://www.rabbittv.com/

Its a USB device that you plug into your laptop that's supposed to get you thousands of free TV channels. I read some online reviews that didn't look so hot. So I don't want to plug it in until I do more research.

Anybody have one of these and care to comment?

If you bought it, you've been ripped off.

A: It's a big-time scam. All Rabbit TV does is point you to websites that have video. And, with rare exceptions for breaking news, the big U.S. networks don't show live programming on the Internet. Ditto for ESPN, Disney and other top cable networks. With Rabbit TV, live streaming is limited to small local stations, religious and shopping channels. Repeat: There is nothing on Rabbit TV that you can't get by entering a URL into your browser.
In fact, you can get the same experience that Rabbit TV provides by going to wwitv.com. That's World Wide Internet Television, which, like Rabbit TV, has a clickable menu for accessing websites of global TV stations that show live and recorded programming.

I know my Roku player has lots of free TV station channels. I enjoy streaming live Al Jazeera. The Roku is like $50 though.

I got the Roku too, its great. I use it for netflix though. How do you get the free TV stations.

I bought it from Walgreens but it hasn't been opened yet, so I'm going to take it back and use the money to buy some tabloids so I can catch up on how Snookie and the "situation" are getting along.
