Hosting an unauthorized stream falls under the distribution portion of the Copyright Act, but the criminal penalties are limited to misdemeanors, as opposed to felonies for downloading. “The maximum penalty is essentially a year in prison and a $100,000 fine — or twice the monetary gain or loss,” Haff said.

Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or the lower overhead H.222 transport stream over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are generally the preferred methods of encapsulation.

This means that IPTV providers are not required to have a license and even though they are not in direct competition with traditional cable TV providers, they can still lure away their loyal subscribers. Customers can now watch movies, TV shows and even live content that is only supposed to be streamed on Cable TV.

IPTV may be traced or tracked. Many people access IPTV through their home-based internet service or a virtual private network; however, these connections may not have strong enough security protocols in place.

You don’t need a TV Licence if you only ever watch on demand or catch up programmes on services other than BBC iPlayer – and never watch TV programmes live on any channel or TV service. This applies to any device you use, including a TV.

These are as follows:

1. Plug your device cable into your TV’s HDMI port.
2. Plugin your USB cable into your device as well as your TV USB port.
3. Switch on your old TV and pair the input with your device.
4. Download the required app if you need to via internet.
5. Accept all the escape clauses to begin streaming.

The answer in most cases is yes. Due to legal issues of copyright and the grey market nature of many IPTV subscriptions, a VPN is a must. In a few select cases, a VPN may not be a strict requirement for IPTV, but it’s still highly recommended (we discuss the legal nature of IPTV and VPNs later in this article).

IMPORTANT – Once an IPTV device is connected to the VPN network there is no possible way that any ISP can be blocking your IPTV access on it. The natural conclusion would therefore be that it’s in some way related to the IPTV company and how they handle VPNs.

In March 2007, Moldtelecom became the third operator of mobile telecommunications services in the Republic of Moldova, with the launch of Unité service. It uses the CDMA2000 technology in the frequency band 450 MHz exclusively on the market and allows for the transmission of voice and data, using the latest technological innovations.

Moldtelecom’s basic service is the fixed-line telephony. The market share of the fixed-line telephony service accounted for 96.5% in the first quarter of 2011 with 1,124,000 subscribers [2]. In 2007, the fixed-line telephony service (Wireless Local Loop – WLL) with the commercial name ‘Amplus’ was launched.
