We got it to watch the Israel stuff.... not sure if we'll keep it or not.
Quality is pretty darn good for streaming. HD and all - we do not have a Roku box, I just hooked the computer to the tv via HDMI and it looked great. Maybe a stutter hear and there, but thats likely Comcast's fault. Eats about 1 GB bandwidth per hour. Right now there is basically no programming on it. I hope there is more in September. |

He's going to lose his shirt on GBTV. No way it's going to make money.
I used to listen to him quite a bit and still do on the radio, but this whole "preach about Israel" for 3 hours / day has really turned me off. I still like the man and his message, but I will not be subscribing. He's been pushing people to sign up ever since he left Fox, even thought the channel doesn't start until September. Why would I pay $5 for basically nothing right now? |

Because you still have all the Insider Extreme programming available. 4th Hour, SE Cupp specials, Brian Sack, BeckU, Rumors of War 1 and 2, behind the scenes of GBTV, live video from his radio show, etc, etc. Seriously, it's like $5/month. Most people spend more than that every day for lunch and/or a coffee. ETA: Been an Insider Extreme member since last year. Got my account automatically upgraded to GBTV last week when they made the switch.

I'll have to check into it. I like Glenn. I enjoy his sense of humor and sense of history. As a busy nursing student who also picks up the kids from school and does the cooking, I don't always have a chance to listen to Glenn. I check a lot of different streaming radio sites to catch his show. If GBTV will have the radio and "TV" show with on-demand streaming, I am pretty likely to go ahead and get it.
Anyone know for certain about that? |

I don't really understand listening to pundits and I particularly don't understand paying to do so.
If you agree with them, you're just getting your validation from a stranger, if you disagree with them, you can't correct them. Glenn Beck is a master of his craft. He's got a small legion of people willing to pay to have their ego stroked while they listen to him cry. The sad thing is I agree with a great deal of what he says but, he's like the Jim Baker of the political sphere. He puts on a great show telling people the shit they want to hear while he cries "send me your money (or pay it to my sponsors). I don't dislike the guy but so many people (on this board anyway) seem to lionise him as the next coming of Christ, politically speaking. His show has grown (now there's a contradiction in terms) from a decent discussion about politics to a clown show, complete with props and the bawling drama of a man who wants to save your mortal soul, for a small fee. He may be right about EVERYTHING, that doesn't mean I want to pay money to watch a grown man bawl like a girl with a skinned knee over the "conspiracy" to destroy our country. |

For those still wondering if it is worth it, did you watch his TV show on Fox? How cool would it have been to be able to pause the TV when he mentions something, and go click on the link to get all that research right in front of you, rather than just getting, "Don't take my word for it. Do your own homework."? If you are like me, you have a life, and do not have the extra time to research like his team does. As always, YMMV, but I can skip one visit to McD's for lunch a month to pay for this. I could stand to lose some weight anyway.

Frankly he has been spending a decent bit of time getting everyone pumped up for the Restoring Courage rally this past week. He has done this by going over the history of anti-semetism, and showing the correlation to what is going on today. He has also been staying in front of the Middle East turmoil, the debit ceiling debate, interviewing Presidential candidates, etc, etc. You can always go to glennbeck.com and theblaze.com and see some of what he is talking about. Probably the most interesting thing though is what he is doing now. He had the rally on Wednesday, and he immediately flew to South Africa and has been broadcasting from there for the last 2 days. He said that people are accusing Israel of being an apartheid regime, so he would go to the home of apartheid and show what it really was. Tomorrow he is going to be talking to a group in Venezuela. It was supposed to be face-to-face, but Hugo Chavez refused to allow his plane to land there. He is going to broadcast it instead. Basically, rather than just point out the problems, he is trying to start giving some direction to how to solve the issues. Should be a fun ride. |

A couple of the neat things I have noticed so far: Because GB only has to answer to himself, God, and his subscribers, he is able to say things he never could on Fox. First one was actually calling the President a Marxists. Kinda cool to hear it said out loud. Also, Raj is taking emails and tweets during the show. If he notices a trend in the questions, they can stop the show, and visit the requested topic in more detail. There is also a reporter from The Blaze doing the news at the top and bottom of the hour. He interacts with the audience more. He no longer has to edit the language in the clips he is playing. IE - we now get to hear exactly what they are saying about us word for word. And just something really cool - he called out George Soros for wasting money on trying to get rid of him. Beck used $20,000,000 of his own money to build the studio in NYC, and he has another one under construction in Texas. 
ETA: You can also watch the show at your leisure. It airs live from 5pm - 7pm, but is up in the on demand section shortly after it airs. I have been watching about 1 hour at night, and the other hour in the morning while drinking coffee and eating breakfast. |

Well there is a two week free trial so you can decide for yourself.
So far I've only watched the first episode. For a first episode it was decent enough, I'm sure they will hit their stride eventually. My random thoughts -I do not like the 2 hr format at all. 2 hours a day is too long to invest. I much preferred the old 44 minute format. -The comedian guy is unfunny and I hope he gets fired -The blaze chick that gives news updates is sort of useless really. I don't want to watch GB for headlines from the Blaze. If I want to see Blaze headlines I'll just go to the damn blaze. It's just time filler for the looong 2 hours. -The set is weird and goofy. But Glen is a weird and goofy guy so no surprise there. -Seems like they are talking out of both sides of their mouth with the whole "We don't have advertisers, we have underwriters. GBTV isn't paid for by viewers LIKE you, GBTV is paid for BY you" and then proceed to run a bunch of ads -I'm really, really tired of Glen telling me to buy gold. It's getting old. Really old. -The guy who is supposed to be the "face" of GBTV whatever his name is seems like kind of a tard. He was hired apparently because he "has a good soul" I dunno don't ask me to explain it. Anyway I signed up several months back so I'm going to ride the year out either way. I'm hoping the show hits its stride and continues to improve. I'm also eagerly awaiting the site feature rollouts that were promised. |
