Thanks for finding that.

Well he has a Gmail account and is a realtor. Maybe it is legitimate.

If you live in the Villages of Newell, Lake Denham, or Middleton the best option is Centric Fiber. They now also offer TV packages that include local stations. Best of all NO Contracts.
Besides. Spectrum really screwed their customers this week. No longer carry Disney, ESPN, abc. And many other stations.
Centric came out and installed the same day I called

These guys rock. Best service I’ve ever had. Check them out.

Unhappy Omnivision

I am very interested in researching Omnivision. However, I can't seem to find anything about them that relates to television. What am I doing wrong? Could you possibly post a link?
Please remember I am a seriously challenged non-tech person. Thank you for any advice.

Unfortunately, what you are doing wrong is you are trying to find Omnivision.

The fact that you are having trouble should tell you something. It's easy to find Netflix, Max, Hulu, YouTube, Sling, and a host of others. Legitimate services *want* to be found but Omnivision apparently does not.

Hulu and YouTube will charge $75+/month to give you local channels. Sling doesn't provide local channels because it would make the service too expensive. The NFL Sunday Ticket is a $300 option on top of YouTubeTV and I believe MLB and NHL both have packages they will sell. Omnivision offers your local channels, local channels from other areas, movies, and all sports for only $30/month. How is it possible that they can offer so much for so little when other providers cannot?

The answer is, because Omnivision is pirating (stealing) the broadcasts. It may or may not be illegal to use the service but I wouldn't want to take the chance. Watch this video from post #41 for a good explanation.

Some possible drawbacks to streaming illegal content:

Has Anyone Gotten in Trouble for Using a Jailbroken Firestick? - CyberTalk.

There are very few people being sued for streaming pirated copyright content even though it is possible. However, with Omnivision the provider of the illegal content is breaking the law and if he gets arrested he has a list of customers that he may be able to use as leverage to reduce his sentence and or fines. Although improbable the people affected will be easier targets for lawsuits than someone who obtained a similar device by more discreet means especially if you are not paying by cash. That is the increased risk you take on for enjoying the extremely user friendly interface and virtually unlimited content.
