Sopcast is an internet tv capable program that allows you to watch tv shows and movies by getting them through a peer to peer network. Sopcast is garbage and here’s the reasons why:
Unsafe:
Remember Limewire? Maybe you still use it. If so, delete it IMMEDITELY! It is a virus mecca! Nonetheless, Limewire like the original Napster allows users to download free music, movies, pictures, and anything audio and/or visual. However, since you’re downloading media that has been downloaded by others, you never know the source of the media and rather or not it is infected. Do you really trust downloading something from a stranger?
If you use Limewire I’m sure you’ve had the unfortunate experience of downloading a song or media file and then it being something else, like porn, the wrong song, a really low-quality version, or otherwise useless junk. Of course we know that you get what you pay for and Limewire is free. However free is not always best. Especially if your computer becomes vulnerable to attacks by downloading media that you are unaware of being a virus.
This is the same problem with Sopcast. The only difference between Limewire and Sopcast is that Limewire is music-driven and Sopcast is TV and Movie-driven, so there’s more of an emphasis of users downloading and sharing TV Shows and Movies.
I’m not the only person to have had this problem. Listen to what another user had to say about Sopcast:

Unreliable:
Although Sopcast touts themselves as internet tv, it’s not really internet tv. Internet tv would require you to have the capabilites of watching tv on the internet the same way you do on a tv; meaning you should be able to go to channels you want. Sopcast does not allow or have this feature because they rely on others to download tv shows and movies first.
I can not stress enough!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD SOPCAST! Unless for some strange reason, you enjoy viruses, trojan horses, adware, and spyware.
Although Sopcast is a scam, getting cable and satellite quality tv is possible and available. I use a service called Satellite TV for PC. It allows you to watch over 3000 national and international tv, movie, and music channels.
I personally am not into watching tv on my computer, so I hooked up my laptop to my tv using an hdmi cable, and the resolution is flawless.
