Star Ray TV is, I would venture to think, closer to a McLuhan ideal (though I'm not at all sure now that you specify his real motives) than the internet: the former an attempt, by a lone individual to make interesting things available via the available technology. The later, the ability to magically make absolutely everything available at one's finger tips - for a price. The price being your every movement and preference made known to the media giants and techno bros.

I've become more convinced than ever of this, since surrendering to the smart phone. (under pressure of course!)

(I also still hold that there is still value in acquiring something through effort, be it an ever so meager effort tuning into a pirate TV station. . .)
