Yeah, I have MEO (although I wouldn't include Vodafone on that list since Vodafone has really crappy services that can't compare to either MEO's or ZON (which is now named NOS).
MEO has a pretty nice service which allows the user to host their own channel, called MEO Kanal. It's actually my main reason for preferring MEO over NOS since there are like 30 channels filled with all the latest anime in 720p (plus some have all the episodes of Naruto and One Piece, which is nice for marathons).

Plus, with all the TV services nowadays recording everything that airs for 7 days, I just watch whatever I want when I want. x'D


Anyway, I can't really see the purpose of this service, sure, 20$ isn't a lot, but it's always better to watch TV on a real TV. <.<

I believe the idea behind this is to watch this stream on a device connected to your TV so it's still watching as you would traditional cable. If people were allowed to pick their own channel package I could see this working a little. As it stands, more needs to be offered. I can already watch many channels from the Xfinity app on my OUYA. I wish the cable companies would utilize android, iOS and game consoles and STOP wasting time making cable boxes.

I agree but it will never happen because they make money from those boxes

    Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it.
