Question to all (i absolutely believe its a rip off but)

This morning My son from Wyoming was telling me about a device that is on sale for $350. That you could stream ANYTHING for lifetime. He said he thinks it was call Wyotv.com. Anybody ever hear of anything like this? He couldn't remember for sure what it is, but a friend he works with said it's amazing. He's gonna check it out and let me know what he finds. Thought i'd check here.

1. It's possibly an internet streaming box with an

illegal software application on it. They sell them here in Ireland as well and they're very popular. That said, the boxes are legal but the software is illegal. Normally the authorities go after the software suppliers rather than a user.

4. Kinda figured that at the price they were asking. THANKS!

Like i was saying, he was told it's perfectly legal but i'm sure at this price, and for what it does is definitely something wrong. When i was a young pup i has and 8 ft dish. teh guys sold me a device that i could watch most anything up on satellite. then every once in a while that part would be blown, and he would have to reinstall a new one, lol It did work for quite awhile though.

6. Yeah I know that type of issue ! I know plenty of people

here who used to have a dodgy satellite box with a dish, but they all have the internet box with all the movie and sports channels that you would get in the UK, Europe and even some US channels. I think they're paying about the 350 USD for the box and the first year's "subscription". Normally it would be well in excess of $1200.

2. I think many things are involved here

1. No premium streaming service will let you pay a one-time lifetime fee, so things like Netflix and Hulu are not part of any “stream forever” deal, at least, not without pirating them.
2. If they mean local and national traditional channels, you can get them over the air with a good digital antenna that costs WAY less than $350.
3. You can buy a $35 Roku — or use the built-in connectivity on a smart TV — and stream freevee (ad-supported) channels all day long with no additional fees. You can also subscribe to the premium channels and view them the same way.

I couldn’t find info under the device name you mentioned, but I’d advise you to understand what you want to stream before purchasing any device. A couple of good questions to ask yourself are:

- Is it important to you to watch regularly scheduled news, sports, or other programs at a scheduled time? If so streaming only isn’t a complete option for you. Consider subscription TV AND streaming.
- Do you value ad-free viewing? Streaming is a better option.
- Do you want the prestige content and don’t care about viewing schedules AND don’t care about broadcast times or traditional broadcast programming? Streaming only with ad-supported or ad-free subscriptions is a good option.

3. TY.

I'm 100% not interested in this, BUT just trying to see if it's a reality. My son is really the one that is interested. Thanks again

5. I remember "clubs" that offered "forever" subscriptions but they all went bankrupt before you got your money's worth.

Read their terms and see if it says what happens if they go bankrupt. Someone could set up something like that, collect lots of fees, pay out tons of cash to their other businesses for consulting and support, then declare bankruptcy before you get any value for your money.

There were "book Clubs", "Record Clubs", "VCR Clubs", etc.
