Found the link. I dunno, it seems pretty fishy to me.

- First of all anything with that "As Seen on TV" logo is something that.. um .. OK I don't really know where I'm going with this other than it puts it it all into the same category as K-Tel Mini-Pops, It Slices It Dices, and "Hi Anthony Sullivan here, you can get CASH for your unwanted gold!".

- When I clicked away from the link, I got an automated popup saying "Are you sure! A LIVE AGENT would like to offer you a discount!" .. instant turn-off.

- Here's the thing. Most network channels allow streaming of their shows anyhow. So it makes me wonder if it's just some kind of data concentration service. Thing is if they are circumventing geographical restrictions (ie., if you're in Canada, you can't just go to abc.com and watch Lost, you need to do it from ctv.ca) then they'll likely be forced to change their model sooner or later and I bet you're out the $50 at that point.
