Hi - I'm a member of the ACTLab TV team and I wanted to respond to the issues you brought up concerning competition and legality.
As for the former issue, we're not about that. We also don't charge a cent. Not only can you watch our television station for free, we show you how to make your own for relatively the same amount. We are a non-profit organization, and we are funded by the money we have in our pockets (spent the last of it on a Slurpee about an hour ago). The only other means of financing the station is through donations. Even the merch that we sell "at cost," we don't make a cent from that - unless you choose to buy an item and donate. And as for the legality issue, what we will show will be completely legit. We will not show copyrighted material, nothing operating under the RIAA or the MPAA. All of it will be original, independent, and public domain. Oh yeah, and AWESOME.
