Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

Who would have thought a few years ago that the BBC and other main UK channels would switch off signal coverage to much of Europe to in part conform to their international broadcasting treaty obligations.
Having done that it is logical that one way or another the same will happen with IPTV.
Technology is moving so fast that users locations can easily be identified.
We have a friend who is involved in miltary intelligence, there is nothing you can hide when using the internet.The broadcasters can install filters to limit reception should they chose. It is not just to do with court rulings etc TV is a business and whether you like it or not normal commercial rules will apply.

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

TVCatchup is free to view in the UK!
You say that at the end of the day I am going to pay. We all have to pay for the advertising on the commercial channels anyway. So if I was a UK user of TVCatchup, would I have to pay more than the person not using it, No!
So the service is in effect FREE!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

AH! you are finally getting to one of my points!
THE BROADCASTERS CAN INSTALL FILTERS TO LIMIT RECEPTION SHOULD THEY CHOSE.
There was absolutely no need for all of this fuss!!!!!!!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

And when they do its the end of FREE IPTV. !!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

TOUGH!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN

Has the service been shut down, or is it running again?

Good boy. Now run along and go to your free school, your free doctor appointment and get a free checkup, and have a crackin' free lunch. And don't forget to attend that demonstration against all those who are getting stuff for free. It's free!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

The point was, does TVCatchup cost its users anything, and the answer is an unequivocal NO! :thumbsup:
There's no point in trying to drag that one out!

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

what service are you talking about ... what company ,where located ..i asked a question as ppl here again lost their IPTV limks and i asked why??

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

What viewers may or may not do to hide their location contravening the terms and conditions of the sites they are viewing is one thing. The commercial approach that will be taken by the broadcasters to encrypt and protect their sites from those who have not paid to view or steal the content is another.
There is a lot of money to be made by the BBC etc and as public funds and advertisng revenues change so will their atitude.BAT you are right when you say that many of us have not caught up with technology and the same goes for the broadcasters they will not let the current free for all last for much longer.

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

Yes under your heading, ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREEMS SHUT DOWN.
You said that the services that had gone off for the 2nd week in a row, were aerial and iptv. So I'm asking if they are back on, and not shut down?

Re: ILLEGAL BRITISH IPTV STREAMS SHUT DOWN
 

well you are totally irrational but as I have been out all day I wondered what you would get up to without your nurse to watch over you.................

now lets get this right (apologies to those who have posted the same/similar)
Yes it is free (at the moment). But built within the business model to please those who are providing the funding, because this can be called a Free Trial, there will be plans to extract charges. Membership may still be Free but if there is something you want to see specifically then there will be a charge - in essence a Pay Per View. As I said, even if each person only spent £100 in a year that makes the £1.2billion. I can't see shareholders and business partners etc not wanting part of that cake, but will not stay for too long if they don't start getting some payback for 5+ years of support.

Now, having looked at all your irrational posts, I was surprised to see you now claiming you used it all the time. I would imagine you are on a pay per click type of agreement with this company, where you get a sum for recommending them to the general public. So how much is it you get paid everytime you post on here that company name. Do you have to prove it when you recommend a bowls club member.?

To all of these companies the number of members registered is part of their business advertising and a draw to advertisers to get their products in front of so many people in one go (if the internet could take it). I would imagine they would be very upset to find that at least 10% of their "members" are forcing them into a situation where they are in breach of contract which could lead to the courts closing the business down as they are unable to police their membership.

Must go, just heard the Visitors Bell, so your nurse will be round with your meds soon, so hope you have a quiet night - there is always another day in the asylum
:rofl:
