There has been advertising on movie screens since before I was born. Why isn’t this counted as one of the advertising screens? Shouldn’t the mobile phone be the fourth screen?

I found it on the internet and apparently you pay a one time fee(about $50) and for ever after you get about 3000 channels from all over the world to watch on your PC.
Sounds too good to be true so i was wondering if anyone on here had tried it or knew of anyone who had tried it?
All the reviews I read on line were somehow attached to the company that sells it and that makes me a bit leary. Any thoughts?

I have Comcast basic service for my own use at my house. Due to the request from my in-laws, I need to get foreign channels which Comcast does not provide. I will have to get another cable TV provider.

But is it possible to get Cable TV signals from two different Cable TV companies? Wouldn’t that create conflict of signals, and disrupt both services or create problems?
