Willow.tv announces monthly subscription at $15/mo

[pcfan123]

What're you gonna do for The Ashes, though? Looks like they'll be the only place with a legit HD stream.

This is why monopolies suck.

I'll sign back up. The billing cycle starts from the day you sign up so I'll save almost 30 bucks by canceling now and signing up again.

Got my account cancelled. The guy who spoke to me over phone persuaded me a lot to stay with them for this month. But he was also not willing to give me the package for $5 and thats the cut off price for me because I have other sources where I could pay $5 and watch India-Australia.

India vs South Africa series could be on Willow. Right now, it says schedule yet to be confirmed. Hopefully it should be on so that I can get back with these people.

Haha yea he was begging me to sign on for a discounted rate. I ultimately had to tell him "Dude I don't give a ████ about the series you are suggesting, just cancel my account!"

 

[sohum]

I'd cancel it but I can't be bothered to, especially if we have to jump through hoops like that.

 

[pcfan123]

Yea it was a bit of a bother. I wont be cancelling after the Ashes for sure, cricket is goign to be in full swing then

Ashes - WC2011 - Indian in SA - Indian in England and on and on

I just did not want to pay them 15 bucks to watch Bangladesh play NZ. I'd rather give that money to a homeless person (not that I will )

I emailed them regarding cancellation and they have replied back with a complimentary link to watch the India vs Australia series. Not sure of the legalities of the link they have provided but it is Willow, so I'm assuming it is legit...

 

[SaiSrini]

Are Willow really legit these days? How are they able to provide stuff for a monthly subscription for just $15/month? The way they are begging customers to stay with them sounds fishy. And they say they are trying to acquire rights for Ind vs Aus, but they are providing complimentary links before doing it.

 

[pcfan123]

That is pretty dodgy, especially since he did not offer it to me or Sai. The guy who called sounded really unprofessional as well they way he was pleading me not to cancel and became abrupt and rude after I told him I wanted to cancel.

 

[Insomniac]

I sent them an e-mail asking to cancel, even though I don't even have an account with them :laugh

I hope I get my complimentary link so I can watch at work.

Got the complimentary link a few mins back via e-mail. Its some kind of an mms:// link. As long as I get something, its good. Planning to watch Session 1-2 of Day 4 tonight.

Do you have to log in to see the link? If not mind sharing ? (PM)

The link is really huge, and has start time, expiry values and all set in the link. I guess it will be to curb people from sharing the link with others. Can you wait a day to see you get your complimentary access? I am planning to watch tonight's play and dont want Willow.tv to shut me out of their stream due to link sharing.

Right now, link not working in Windows media player. Says "Cannot connect to server".

 

[sohum]

LOL that is super shady.

 

[Insomniac]

I figure you could change some values and make your own link out of it if that was the case.

 

[sohum]

Start/expiry time in the link shouldn't be an issue. I'd be more concerned if it had some linkage to account name or a session ID (probably some combination of the letters A-z, a-z and 0-9).

sohum added 17 Minutes and 30 Seconds later...

I've also shot them off an email, hoping to get links..

Yes there is. There is a value called "rnd" and it has all numbers, a value called "pnd" and it has all random letters, and there is a value called "vld" and it has a combination of letters and numbers. Is that an issue?

 

[Insomniac]

What if the complimentary links actually didn't work at all?

Does it work yet? I'm thinking you could input random values till it worked possibly.
