dedicatedtv.net is no more
p2pnet view TV | P2P:- dedicatedtv.net “is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for”, it used to say.
Now it’s up for sale.
Raymond Bennelsworth, admin of dedicatedtv.net, “one of the larger television-download sites on the internet, announced late last week that he was retiring from running the site, which he’d funded for three years out of his own pocket, and that if a new owner wasn’t found the site would go offline”, says a slugsite post.
Now it’s gone, the domain is up for sale, “and most of the auxiliary webpages – the two Twitter feeds, the Facebook group, and so on – have disappeared down the memory hole, without any word or notice”, says the story, going on
No goodbye, no farewell, no teary-eyed sentimentality. No ‘so long, and thanks for all the fish’. Just… poof. Gone. And this just days after Facebook messages suggesting new owners had been found for the site.
Ah, well. Easy come, easy go. Screw you too, Bennelsworth, and your little dog Bertie, too.
The dedicatedtv domain is for sale, apparently, should you have a thousand pounds to spare and a desire for an obscure bit of internet piracy history. There were at last count eight or nine others that pointed to the same site; perhaps some of them are valued a bit more realistically?
“It is indeed a blow to TV lovers, during the time I was using Ubuntu via Live CD I was surfing the website it was pretty cool had a lot of Aussie Shows as well”, says Andrew aka Comeonecomcast, adding >>>
It was forum website which had Rapidshare and other DDL links to the shows
You can still find the shows by using your fave Rapidshare search engine and searching for ‘dedicatedtv.net’, uploaders put the domain in the filename

R.I.P dedicatedTV, you will be missed <3
DTV’s YT channel is still live http://www.youtube.com/user/dedicatedtv
Keeping a site online without any money is tough going. You have to get creative to survive.

tbh good ridance to him and his site. There where and still are way better sites out there than he ever ran.
he tried to get people to donate to his service, which spent more time down than up. The other underhanded
thing he would do, would be to use his hostname to add to his files as if to give legitimacy to them, yet
ironically he took them from other sites.
He thought he was big free in a little pond, will i miss the site? not at all, it spent large amounts of time down
tons of garbage on it, continuous re uploading of the same files, and many many times weeks and weeks
late with shows.
No i believe he thought he was onto a winner when rapidshare caught him out cold. No coincidence that as soon
as rapidshare removed the rewards system he was gone, like most parasites are.
The other thing we did not need to hear or know about where his problems.
I used to rely on his site for dates when new shows would come out, sadly over the last year or two it became so
erratic that I had to stop using it. new american shows could take weeks and weeks to come out, the service
was absolutely dire as was. The fact he was offering download movies, well he has only himself to blame
for that. If you get caught dont whine to us about it! Which is more to the point of this post, he ran because of a
combination of events. The rapidshare ‘issue’ and the ‘domain name seizure a possibility’..if he’d have used his
brain and got an offshore hosting account along with an innocuous domain name, no one could have touched
him…but there you go, rather happy he has gone, because now we can all go back to the sites we love, and know
that they wont go missing unlike his, and they wont spend 99% downtime and shows not coming through
