    Hiw Stupid Do Sum Ppl Think We Are

    ok i just found this at ebay, how do people get away with this, saying for 2.99 that you can stream live sky even over 56k, just look at this, its laughable, some people will actaully buy this, if this isnt 100% pure tripe how would it work?

    What a shame, I thought this was going to be a clever pun based around the imaginatively typed thread title

    It'll be selling a bunch of links to things like alriyadh TV etc who do stream live Premiership games. Note the poster does not claim to offer Sky channels, rather Prem football, porn and F1, all of which I imagine can be streamed somehow through some website or other.

    Its possible. For that price probably also highly illegial (breaking copyrights etc..).
    techinicly its easy; even on 56k - though quality would be absolutly [a word should go here] - but the seller doesnt make any promisses of that..

    But for that price... a scam is more likely.

    Wondering about the legal stringency of Ebay - "You wont be disappointed" - so if you are, can you get your money back?
