Re: ConTV for Roku
I added it.... the only things I was able to watch without a VIP membership were short 2-3 minute snippets of a few convention panels. And He-Man.
I deleted it a few minutes later.

Re: ConTV for Roku
I ended up canceling my subscription.
My main reason for signing-up was the convention coverage. I wasn't able to catch most of the live stream. So I've been waiting for them to post the full panels. But they're not making that footage available for On Demand viewing. Instead, they're only posting 1-minute highlight clips.

Got an e-mail about this service. 3 months for $4 using the code SweetDeal
Watch Free Movies, TV shows and Comic Con Panels Online | CONtv
The service has changed it's content to B movies, oddball TV shows, horror, martial arts and some animated.
They have some interesting oddball stuff, but I am so tapped out for time with content right now, so I think I have to pass on this.

It's a shame. I really wanted this service to live up to the hype.
