I venture a guess here.
Nearly an hour of the same stuff I can mostly read about in Eve-Tribune and the forums, for tournament coverage that doesn't really interrest me, for "this alliance took that system from those loosers" reports that I couldn't care less about since like most people (think this needs emphasis) I'm not yet a member of BoB or their adversaries ... one time watching for $2 and billed by the minute?
Good luck with that. Even if you somehow manage boost the dev interviews beyond the stuttering, unprepared thingies that have been the first live dev blogs.
The only sales point of this ultimately is Xyliana

I'm gobsmacked, I really am.
I can't believe the amount of whingeing that's going on here. For the first time (AFAIK) an MMO is getting it's own dedicated online TV show, and all you're doing is moaning?!
Frankly, and in my humble opinion, an MMO needs no TV shows. MMOs are played for the interactivity. If its free, sure its a nice bonus but people IMHO won't pay for it by the masses. And for the live of it I have no idea how you're reasonably get enough material even for a weekly show only about Eve, i.e. material thats actually INTERRESTING to a large number of people.
Flame me if you will but I much more like the way Guild Wars approaches "coverage" - allows you to watch tournaments and stuff right in the client and now has the introduction of automated tournaments.

Free trial. Theres a FREE TRIAL! I don't see why everyones making judgements without even trying the product 
Because the last time I signed up for a free trial (to see how a second account/client would work) CCP costs me 15 minutes of my time by letting me sign up and confirm all the way and THEN telling me I am not allowed to login because I already have a paying account on the same box.
Even free trials can be a waste of time, thank you very much.

Why no WMP version? For a venture such as this, it is important to select the method that is going to give the widest number of people the best experience. WMP is simply unsuitable for what we are doing here. We will be looking at different methods of distribution, but for the time being, our extensive tests have proved that the Flash Player really does provide the best experience. It is smooth and seamless.
No - the smoothest and most seemless way is using some open and royality-free video format (such as Theora or many others) and allow people to download the file. THATS going to give the widest number of people the best experience no matter if they're on Windows, Linux, a Mac, a video-capable PDA or on a dial-up modem.
Its not like the world only consists of Windows-only WMV on one side, and Flash-Streaming on the other so using that as a Pro-Flash-streaming justification, I am sorry to say, is a total and utter moot point.
I'm sorry, I know it hurts when reality bites.
