I'm surprised it went away.

What every broadcaster wants is more viewers, which is what channelsurfing provided. It wasn't rebroadcasting games with commercials removed. It was offering another option for viewing the original telecast with all the commercials intact.

I'm going to make a guess that it was the schools that complained. A lot of schools try to sell internet video feeds and channelsurfing could cut into that.

I think it was more of the pay per view type stuff like the UFC fights.

They already have a new website, channelsurf.eu, that works. I was just watching a hockey game on it.
