Sorry...UKPolska, i don't want to turn this thread in the wrong direction. I have posted one other time, because again, people were asking about TV, so i answered. But it is upsetting to read your response to my post because it is incorrect.
First, it is not a con. The service actually allows you to control a satellite reciever connected to Hotbird satellite at 13 degrees East. All of the Polish channels on IGOCOLO are from Hotbird. They are not from free sites. If you tried the trial, you would see this. They are all the same bandwidth, and the same quality. So it is not a compilation of free stations around the web.
Second, while some channels may be available on some free sites, your statement that they are all available is completely inaccurate. TVP, TVP Kultura, Polsat 2, Polsat News, etc are not free on the sites you mention, and if they were, they would be unwatchable due to poor quality.
Third, if you live in Europe, then yes, all these channels are on your satellite. If you are an expat, which is the point of the service, then the channels are not available.
Finally, to state that Slingbox and Hava cannot control a reciever, while that may be true, is not true of IGOCOLO. Just use the trial. There are over 600 channels, all of the same bitrate, from the same reciever, and you can control whatever you want.
All I am saying here, is posting before actually investigating or trying something, is like condemning a movie before you watch it. Maybe the service is not for you, but your post was obviously based on a quick look at the site, rather than facts. Maybe this is the newest remote satellite technology, and maybe it works.
