Free Internet TV, a con or not

[darude]

I keep seeing links dotted around EBAY for Free internet TV. Watch Sky for free on your PC, all you need is broadband.

I looked on google and there are loads of websites promoting this, even some legitimate download sites like download.com offering the software.

Has anybody here tried it?

not having the hardware in order to try it can't comment whether the software is any good but will add that if it can allow you to access sky packages that don't comprise the free to view channels then it will be deemed as illegal for use unless there is a subscription involved.

Kendor...Hardware not required.

Read one of the comments given on the 'free' program which mentions www.wwitv.com
Anyone any experience with that?

Well I finally got round to downloading and installing it (with a "universal" serial!!!!!) I havn't paid any money out so far (and don't intend to) but it's a bit cr&p. Interesting for a play around until the novelty wears off. The potential for when broadband gets faster is good though.
