it's a pay to see service with a free trial subscription.

unfortunately the website has no information as to cost and needs
a credit card for you to sign up for the free trial service.

Ok, exclusive of my email address line, Here's a direct copy of the html
email I received from CNN Pipeline at Turner.com. As you can see, they
have already terminated my new agreement and have refunded to my credit
card account around $22 of my yearly $25, as of the first of the month.
It's both on my VISA account and on my Pipeline account. I don't think
the webpages have been updated, completely, yet is the reason for the
trial subscription notice. You could always just email them to ask
questions. The contact email is on the Pipeline webpages.

Great TV service. I just hope it doesn't turn into another CNN channel
full of SPAM like their webpages and TV channel on cable is, now. When
the huge fires were threatening the observatory in California, one of the
pipes was set to continuously send raw video directly from the local TV
station helicopters, audio and all, without interruption or commentary.
This goes on every time on Pipeline when there is some kind of real news
story. We get to watch the cop update from, for instance, the NASA
gunman shootout, way before it starts, as soon as CNN turns on its
camera. You can hear everything everyone is saying about the situation,
in the air, on the ground, from open mics all over the scene. Raw
coverage of any news site is far superior to the filtered talking head on
the main channel telling you only what "they" want you to hear.....

Here's the email I got...in the Raw....(c;
