I don't see an explanation of how it works on their webpage, which isn't a good sign.

I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but quickly skimming these pages didn't look very promising.

Not me I was skeptical when one of my fellow workers mentioned it.

I've seen firsthand how incredibly aggressive DirecTV is about "protecting" their satellite transmissions.  I wouldn't touch that deal with TFT's computer.
