EVOLUTION TV streaming device.

[Bugatti Fan]

Saw an internet advertisement for the Evolution TV streaming device that it is claimed can access ALL streaming channels legally and for free.

Apparently all you have to do is plug it into a USB port in the back of the TV, let it connect and away you go. Sounds really good, but is it? The device is priced in US dollars so possibly not available yet in the UK.

Have any of you guys bought one and using it?     Does it do all that is claimed, and simple to set up by just plugging it in?

Opinions and user experiences please.   Good device or just a con?

I'm certain that the corporations that are bleeding us dry every month for all that content will have something to say about that. This looks like a bit of a scam to me. No major tech sites are talking about it.

Could be right Gary.     We will see.

In the meantime I will be interested in any other replies to this topic.

I'm not sure if those boxes are legal in the uk. There was a group jailed recently for selling boxes like those for sports channels so I would expect the law would be the same for television. They got lengthy jail time for it. If your tv has a scart connection you would be better off just plugging in your laptop and using a vpn to access other countries channels and streams. Thats how I do it and I'm a tight fisted scotsman. There are codes available to change your netflix region that opens up a whole load more content also.

Check out Evolution TV reviews. The consensus is: That it is a Scam.

Thanks for the feedback guys.  These things always look too good to be true.

There was another indoor aerial device that was supposed to do the same over here in the UK. Apparently they were saying in their advert that all the streaming channels have to broadcast on air in the UK on a frequency or wavelength that is little known about by Joe public. According to the advertiser it is perfectly legal to watch in this way of you can access that frequency. Personally I do not believe any of it, and think it also sounds a bit hard to believe. The advertiser said that they pitched this device to four entrepreneurs on a UK tv programme named Dragons Den, who were very keen to invest in the company when they saw it. I did not see the programme but I guess that some UK readers of this forum might have and can remember it.

Actually there is so much free to view stuff on TV in the UK that I find no reason to access any of the pay to view channels. Netflix and Disney are the only two that I could be tempted to as their monthly cost is reasonable. I do think that the sports pay to view channels are overly expensive!
