The technology IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) allows you to distribute programs and or any other television content over the broadband Internet. It works without cables or antenna as it only needs the internet signal.
How does it work?
This technology is nothing more than the combination of a television service with that of broadband Internet. Instead of receiving your television signal from your cable operator's antenna or cable, you receive it via the Internet.
This service requires a converter (also known as Set top box), which will transform the signal received over the Internet so that it can be viewed on screen.
Does the law allow this type of service?
Each television station has its own rules for making its programming available. It can be transmitted through open (free) or closed (paid) channels. Therefore, in the case of closed channels, the rules established by the broadcasters and operators that offer these channels must be respected.
If the paid channel signal is made available through streaming and shared services on the network, such retransmission is considered an illegal act. That is, if you have contracted a cable TV subscription and decide to make the channel signal available through the network with other users, you will be hacking, as one of the terms of the contract with the TV package provider limits your use. only to the plan contractor.
