Just a headsup I thought you liveaboards who have broadband wifi but not
cable TV would like to know.....

I subscribed to CNN Pipeline after dumping Alltel's Axcess TV, which they
only let you watch in 10 minute increments which is stupid. Pipeline has
4 live streams to choose from, plus a huge array of on-demand news items
and other information online 24/7, just like CNN. One of the ondemands
is a 3 minute news update that's updated hourly if you're in a hurry or
just don't have the time to watch much.

I paid $25/year for Pipeline, which I thought was very fair. It will
work on any wifi link you can access and is NOT IP based so you can use
it anywhere your laptop gets a wifi link. The software was/is free and
lets you watch all 4 streams in thumbnails, picking what you want. Turn
it off and it goes into a background mode that will popup again if there
is an important news alert...as long as you're online.

Overlooking the obvious pro-government and other biases Time-Warner
brings to CNN, it's a fairly good news service.

Well, NOW IT'S GONE TOTALLY FREE! The Ministry of Propaganda must have
decided it was more valuable to have more people watching than whatever
little money it was bringing into the beast's treasury. So, if you sign
up for it now, it's free. They even refunded $22 of my $25 to my credit
card for the paying customers. One can only speculate, of course, on the
MOTIVES of the corporation giving up this revenue source that must cost
them plenty to run. Pipeline even has its own studio...not cheap.

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.

Seems like an oxymoron to give no information on the subscription cost
to a news service but maybe their confidential source was arrested before
he or she could pass on the information. I'll pass.

Here's the link:

Me too.

Free with a credit card required is deinitely an oxymoron. I'm
surprised that Larry is shilling for them.

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;
