why does there seem to be a time limit on watching? seem to have to refresh channel every 2 hours or less?
this IS quite a pain in da butt

Yes, you need to close the channel and re-open it to "get around" the time limit. It's a pain but doable. (It would be nice if they added a bit more time, though.) There are several reasons for enacting this policy. If people fall asleep while watching, this conserves bandwidth, or If someone hijacks the stream, the most they will get is a 2 hour window. The token would expire at that point, so they couldn't distribute the stolen stream to others.

yeah it kick you every 2 hours, I am watching same channel a lot sometimes and its 2 hours it fits with my mini Bluetooth standby time. very weird decision. because if someone managed to get around this they would have the same service as paying members. and its not even a issue I could understand if it was like 300 users jumping on 1 mac address hole that got out of hand, the bandwidth thing is odd to since ppl restart the stream anyway, heck even if I fall asleep and wake up I restart it to have something to fall a sleep to again lol.
anyway I have ranted more than enough about this subject.
