So Many Friggin Channels, FOC

Jseng and Miyagi are talking about PPlive, the latest best thing since sliced bread. This baby allows you to watch 80-90 channels from China, albeit for free.

Strange thing is, I’ve known about this for ages. Any football punter worth his salt has been using this quite awhile to monitor different football matches from around the globe on any given night. It’s especially important now that Starhub Cable has so few matches being shown live. You see, some rather rabid punters have a habit of watching live matches to monitor the situation. If the match appears to be fixed (players lethargic, striker scores own goal etc) then they quickly reverse their bets and get the hell out.

Not bad, they even have English pages.

But what do they mean by “free shareware”? Bad translation? or am I missing something here?
