IPTV service other than astro/TM provide is illegal. The one that media reports many days ago offers pornography channel.

There's another service in the market, using card sharing function. Still need to use astro dish to receive channel, and use other decoder. They does not offer pornography channel and it's verified legal by MCMC

mean we put a satellite dish to receive taiwan channel with satellite receiver is legal ?

The IPTV like durian TV was banned by MCMC recently

how about other iptv ? ban also ?

If got ppl report to MCMC, they will check and ban also...
I thk the next is Skyb0x @stro...

there is so many card sharing server around the malaysia, how they going to shut down ?

IPTV is illegal because its not filtered by gomen.

do u even know wat iptv is?

those box that need internet connection is to send u the code to decode astro satellite signal....

knn terms also dunno wan to talk iptv....

mean we watch tv channel in computer consider illegal ?

Theoretically, yes.

Yes, what more if using astro dish lol.

My neigbourhood almost all got astro dish outside but go to their house no astro at all. And they have use it for more than 2 years
1 man came and offered 'Free' Astro all channel. Just need to buy their own decoder and need internet connection.
When I tried to trace back where he's from, its just a chained-link from 1 man to another. Agent la supplier la.
But then again, it works so who cares. Pay RM30 got all channel including astro best on weekend.

Dunno what will happen if Astro guy come check and find out.

ohh there is call card sharing via internet. that save u a lot on subscription.

As long as these "IPTV Service" do not pay a single cent to these TV channels to have the rights, then it is illegal. IPTV or Cable TV have similar business principles. Astro has to pay a premium to HBO just to ensure HBO Movies can be part of Astro packages. In return, subscribers pay their monthly fee to cover their licensing fee. No different from Unifi offering their IPTV service. Some are free, some are not. Where it isn't, TM is paying those channels to have broadcasting rights.

So, the question is, those 3rd party company that provide IPTV service, are they legitimate? Afterall, your question is about legal or illegal right? You may be paying for this IPTV service. But are they paying for the rights? End users normally knows but choose to ignore it as long as it benefits them.

if the astro subscription is very cheap, i don't think those iptv service can survive. it just because gov monopoly that all malaysian want to watch satellite tv a MUST subscribe astro with price higher then sky.
