I hear ya. The term FREE tv has got to be interpreted loosely. There's no such thing as a free lunch, etc. I have not received spam emails yet from them, but then again they may wait til after beta. If it does happen I'll just adjust my spam filter accordingly.

With that said, I think the first poster on DIGG is a little paranoid. When I read the EULA I wasn't surprised by anything. It's pretty much what I expected from a internet tv client. I guess we'll have to play with it and see.

Spyware threat aside, how is it running for everyone?
On my laptop that will be my carpc, I have 1.5mhz Pentium M and 512mb ram.
The tvprunner.exe process averages about 70% CPU usage and 90-100mb memory. Ouch.
It does seem to run pretty smoothly however.
