All it is is a USB thumb drive with shortcuts to a lot of internet TV stations. You could find them yourself with a little work.

I ordered one because I'm too lazy to search for anything. I figured that it is like Magic Jack. I haven't received it yet, but I'll report back when I receive it.

Let us know how it turns out...there are a few complaints but it is mostly billing issues. I'd like to see a review from someone I know who has used it.

Well, I got mine today and Hal nailed it. It is nothing but a means for Telebrands to capture your personal data. All that it does is give you a menu to get to just about every TV network's home page where you then pick the shows that they are offering. It doesn't appear to offer real time TV shows.
What bothered me was the terms and conditions that you must accept before you can use it. They pretty much tell you that they will capture and sell your personal account information, usage and viewing activity. They aren't shy about it, in fact that is highlighted in the first paragraph of their terms.
I used a disposable e-mail address to set up my account, just in case. Regardless, I am sure that they've already captured everything that they needed from me when I entered my credit card information to buy the stupid thing.
I'd say that it really isn't worth it.

Upon further review, it is nothing short of a scam. It is full of pop-up ads while all it does is direct you to the home pages of the TV networks that you select. I've had it for two hours and still can't get anything to work except advertising. At the same time, I can go to any TV network's home page directly and view any available shows. Repeat: It is a scam.
The program doesn't show up on your list either. I tried to look for an uninstall option, but it isn't there. The USB drive is just a cancer that you plug in and you're stuck with it. It still appears and works without the dongle attached.
Mine is heading back for their 100% refund tomorrow. Let's see how that goes...
