does anyone subscribe to this service? Is it even legal?

I would have to say this is not a legal service. It seems one person runs this web site and the site doesn't appear to be connected to any company. If I understood the site correctly it appears to me that he broadcasts many copyrighted television programs and without paying the proper royalty fees to the networks that own these television shows that is illegal. I would not subscribe to this service.

is there a way to get his streams off the internet television section in the media library? it seems to me unfair that pay streams are in the itv section where normal people can't access the streams.

from what i read on his site, they're not really pay streams. if you donate though, you do get a reserved slot. the donations help pay for the bandwidth they need to stream all those shows in their multiple servers, to meet current demands. non-donators can still get on, but they just have to push their way in.

maybe it's because i don't use the internet tv so much, but i really don't mind that they have a donation thing going on. aside from the anime channels, they're playing the best selection of shows right now, providing further incentive for people to run winamp.
