will MCMC do the same?

Dont think so, if their do, their will lose Putrajaya in next PRU.

***Political wise

not all tv box can access pirate contents

tell me which tv box can't access pirated content? as long as it is android-based, all can lah.

if u want say like that....pls band android tv also , oh and all android phones

relax. i'm against any law that restrict purchase of tv box too.

but saying "oooh, not all tv box can view pirated content" is as stupid as "i visited pornhub to research for homework".

at least some laws need to be introduced to curb those that openly sell TV box that can access pirated contents in Tesco, Giant etc.

yep, if any new law, likely to curb those open selling of boxes preinstalled with apps to access pirated contents.

boxes with only legit apps shud be fine, like android phones and tablets.

or they wanna ban them too?!

I don't really know how tv box pirated works.
So it comes with access to apps that needs to be paid but for free is it? Like Netflix? No monthly subscription required is it?

A few types..

1. Last time got this Durian IPTV (or equivalent). Basically they rip Astro stream and put it on server. You buy subscriptions (like RM20-30/month) to access all Astro channels. Now don't know still got similar service or not. Durian IPTV shoplot (which housed all the PC/equipment) was raided by police.

2. Another type is the seller install and configure for you all the apps (Kodi etc.). So you can stream movies, drama series, live TV etc. So they profit about RM200-300 just by providing this service. Typically sell you the box for >Rm500? (TV box costs Rm200-300 only). But later when the apps got outdated etc., it''s not likely you can find back the person. (Tbh, you can do it on your own by just googling for the methods...)

the so call prirate contain is refer to channel fr Astro.. if publc channel fr oversea should not b under.MCMC preview?

In the end who will benefit? Astro with its overprices subscriptions and shitty contents.Why will people want to look for alternatives like tv boxes instead of astro if astro subcriptions are reasonable with good content? with our high prices in internet and on top of astro we could be spending an easy 400 ringgit per month for these services .

From OMGHACKERS:-

Astro Ingin Android Box Disekat?

Tahniah Astro, kerana anda sudah mula mengetahui bahawa rakyat telah pun beralih dari anda. Namun adakah anda sedar, punca utama kenapa mereka berbuat demikian?

Jika anda masih belum lagi 'sedar diri', mari saya kejutkan anda dari lena, akan mengapa rakyat marhaen tidak mahu lagi menggunakan saluran penyiaran dari anda:

1. Bosan dengan monopoli Astro.

Katanya Malaysia sudah 'baru', tetapi yang masih lama adalah monopoli Astro dalam kategori penyiaran saluran televisyen. Tiada alternatif diberikan. Rakyat dipaksa untuk terima sahaja satu sumber iaitu Astro.

Patut atau tidak?

2. Bayaran langganan bulanan terlampau mahal.

Saya pernah berborak suatu ketika dahulu dengan seseorang yang agak berumur, katanya dahulu waktu beliau kecil, televisyen perlu dibayar lesennya, sebanyak lebih kurang RM4 setahun.

"Itu pun orang tak nak bayor, inikan pulak beratus sebulan!".

3. Rancangan sama disiarkan berulang-ulang.

Setiap kali ia disiarkan, setiap kali itulah dialog filem atau rancangan tersebut dapat diajuk kembali. Begitulah gambarannya, betapa rancangan/filem yang terlalu kerap diulang siar di Astro hingga terpahat dalam ingatan.

Tahukah anda, post yang pernah dikongsikan berkali-kali di WhatsApp dipanggil sebagai 'Post Astro'?

Anda faham kenapa?

4. Saluran alternatif lebih berkualiti.

Netflix sememangnya bukan untuk semua, tetapi selain Netflix, terdapat juga saluran siaran lain seperti Hulu, DIRECTV, Screambox, Sling TV, Amazon Prime, dan sebagainya lagi.

Dengan adanya semua saluran alternatif ini, apa yang perlu hanyalah masa yang mencukupi untuk menikmati kesemuanya.

5. Internet lebih murah, Android Box juga semakin mudah diperolehi dan harganya berpatutan.

Apabila langganan internet menjadi lebih mampu dilanggani, Android Box juga semakin murah dengan spesifikasi yang bagus, cuba beritahu saya mengapa hendak langgan Astro yang mahal lagi?

Soalan diulang, kenapa hendak langgan Astro yang mahal itu lagi?

Isunya di sini adalah soal teknikal. Jika bab ini dapat difahami dan diselesaikan oleh semua orang, bungkuslah 'servis yang mahal itu'.

Heard MCMC has started gathering the info of illegal iptv sellers incl box from xtro surveillance to be handed to BNM and LHDN for further investigation...

believe is on Sirim and another thing.. not bnm..

Well thru BNM, they could get the banks to provide transaction history of said sellers

With LHDN, the transaction will provide insights to the taxes derived

And so on...

use Smart TV also can free streaming on TV series
Y use Android Box?
