I wonder why the networks don't steam their own content to reach rural areas. Maybe FCC rules?
It's called a donation, but if you don't pay it, the broadcast will stop every 15 minutes to ask you for money. If you do pay it, you need to authorize a monthly credit card charge, with no way to contact the company directly if you decide to cancel. It doesn't sound like a very good service.
