I tried it today with "Veronica Mars", and it's just a bittorrent client ...
2 minutes after the show appeared on the torrent networks, the rentmyDVR client started downloading.
Analyzing the TCP/IP traffic clearly showed it was using the bittorrent protocol. (Including the fact that your pc is also uploading to a bunch of people ...)
Clever guy, though, earning some money with such a simple trick !
Maybe if I'm REALLY busy and can't spare the 2 minutes to pick up the torrent myself, they can have my 20 cents. (But then again, if I'm that busy, how on earth am I going to find the time to watch the show ! )
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
